AutoCAD Program
Overview
The AutoCAD Program is an intensive course designed to equip participants with essential skills for using AutoCAD effectively, totaling 36 hours of instruction. The curriculum begins with an introduction to the interface, setup, and basic drawing techniques, progressing through advanced commands such as polylines, trimming, and filleting. Participants will learn to create and manipulate shapes, utilize arrays, and incorporate text and dimensions into their designs.
