This thirty-two (32) hour course is designed to provide an understanding and use of Autodesk’s AutoCAD program and to guide a participant in becoming a proficient AutoCAD 2D detailer. This course will take those with little or no previous experience with AutoCAD through the basics of computer-aided design including file generation and sharing, the user interface, tools, and commands. Participants will be instructed on the procedures and use of the Cartesian coordinate system, and basic geometry will be created using standard object “Draw” and “Modify” commands. Participants will learn the standards for dimensioning, tolerances, and scale to create detail drawings.
