Course Description

This course introduces Autodesk AutoCAD software. General principles and features of the AutoCAD computer-aided drafting system will be used for a variety of design and manufacturing application areas. Topics covered include: Basic object commands, line standards and layers, basic plotting, object snap and autotrack, text styles and multiline text, singe-line text, modifying objects, arranging and patterning objects, multiview drawings, section views and graphic patterns, dimension styles and dimensioning. Standard drafting practices are used. This course includes blueprint reading. General knowledge of the Windows operating system is recommended.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Describe the AutoCAD user interface.
  • Create Single-Line text on drawing.
  • Use modifying tools to edit two-dimensional drawings.
  • Use arranging and patterning tools to edit and create objects.
  • Create section views.
  • Create industry standard dimension styles.
  • Create linear and angular dimensions on drawings.
  • Create dimensions on features such as circle and arcs.
  • Create, read and interpret technical drawings (i.e. blueprints).
  • Use the AutoCAD user interface, keyboard, cursor pointing device, and monitor to put drawing information into a computer aided drawing file.
  • Apply several point entry methods for drawing lines and polylines.
  • Create two-dimensional drawings by drawing lines, basic objects, and geometric constructions.
  • Create and manage layers and layer properties in various industry drawings.
  • Plot drawings to scale.
  • Use object snaps to increase accuracy of a drawing.
  • Create multiview drawings.
  • Create Mutliline text (paragraphs) on drawings.
