Autocad is a computer-aided design and drafting software application
- used by architects, engineers, and product designers. It is an essential tool for drafting and creating 2D drawings and 3D models. This software provides a powerful set of tools for creating and editing objects, including 2D and 3D lines, arcs, circles, splines, and surfaces.
This course is designed to provide students with a necessary understanding of drafting basic geometry and other skill sets needed to create 2D drafting and automate complex or tedious drawing tasks - these skills can be used in all domains including mechanical, civil, architectural, and electrical engineering.
Upon the completion of this course, you will learn to draft, edit 2D drawings and create isometric views using AutoCAD
