The AutoCAD syllabus typically covers the essential concepts, tools, and techniques needed to use AutoCAD software effectively for 2D drafting

Module 1: Introduction to AutoCAD

• Overview of AutoCAD: What is AutoCAD, its uses, and applications.
• User Interface: Introduction to the workspace, toolbars, ribbon, and command line.
• Basic Drawing Commands:
  • Drawing lines, circles, arcs, polygons, ellipses, and splines.
  • Working with the Polyline tool.
  • Modifying objects with commands like Trim, Extend, Move, Copy, Rotate, Scale, Offset, and Fillet.

Module 2: Working with Layers

• Creating and Managing Layers: Importance of layers in AutoCAD for organizing drawings.
• Layer Properties: Changing colors, linetypes, line weights, and transparency.
• Layer Management: Turning layers on/off, freezing, locking, and creating new layers.

Module 3: Precision Drawing and Editing

• Drawing Aids:
  • Grid and Snap settings for precision.
  • Object Snap (OSNAP) for precise object selection.
  • Polar Tracking and Ortho mode for straight line and angle drawing.
• Dimensions: Setting dimension styles, adding linear, angular, and radius dimensions.
• Hatching: Adding hatch patterns and adjusting hatch properties.

Module 4: Modifying Objects

• Modification Tools: Stretch, Offset, Mirror, and Array.
• Editing Geometry: Editing arcs, lines, and polylines.
• Using Blocks: Creating and inserting blocks; working with block libraries.
• Attributes: Defining and managing block attributes.

Module 5: Annotating Drawings

• Text: Creating and editing text for annotations.
• Multileaders: Using multileader annotations to point to and explain objects.
• Tables: Creating and managing tables within AutoCAD.
• Dimensions and Leaders: Adding dimension text and modifying leader styles.

Module 6: Working with Layouts and Printing

• Paper Space & Model Space: Switching between model space for drawing and paper space for layout.
• Viewport Creation: Creating, scaling, and adjusting viewports in paper space.
• Printing & Plotting:
  • Plot styles and page setups.
  • Adjusting print settings (scale, paper size, etc.).
  • Exporting drawings to PDF or other formats.

Module 7: Final Project
