Autodesk AutoCAD
Autodesk AutoCAD
Autodesk AutoCAD is the leading design and drawing software, and an essential skill for designers, architects, and engineers.
In the world of architecture, manufacturing, and construction, one of the most essential skills to be successful is drafting.
Drafting is the fine art of taking various information from notes, sketches, and dimensions provided by engineers and architects in order to digitally visualize detailed illustrations that will be used as the main blueprint for the design and construction phase of a project.
While this used to be done via freehand, most of the process is done nowadays with the use of computer-aided drafting software.
Autodesk AutoCAD revolutionized the designing and drafting industry. It is a modern tool which empowers you to project your imaginative thoughts onto a screen. It uses the creative imagination of your mind and helps you to convert your thoughts into a surreal reality with the help of 2D and 3D sketches and drawings.
Today, the most commonly used software for this process is the AutoCAD 3D.
Autocad software is used to draw sectional views, elevations, and plans.
Whether you’re new to the software, upgrading, or preparing for certification, this training is your ideal resource for complete AutoCAD instruction. It is designed for both students and the professional AutoCAD user.
