AutoCAD Essentials
AutoCAD Essential training cover the fundamental core topic for working with the AutoCAD software. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools.
The primary objective of this course is to enable the participant to create a basic 2D drawing, design and drafting using AutoCAD. Even at this fundamental level, AutoCAD is still one of the most sophisticated computer applications that you are likely to encounter. Therefore, learning to use it can be challenging.
PREREQUISITES
Basic design/drafting procedures, terminology & your operation system.
