Requirements / Prerequisites
- Basic Computer Literacy: Familiarity with operating a computer, managing files, and navigating software interfaces is essential.
- Reliable Internet Connection: Required for accessing course materials, downloading software, and participating in any online components.
- Access to AutoCAD Software: While not strictly required before starting, having access to an educational license or a free trial version of AutoCAD (preferably 2020 or newer, to align with updated content) is highly recommended for hands-on practice.
- Capable Computer System: A desktop or laptop computer that meets AutoCAD’s minimum system requirements for smooth operation (e.g., sufficient RAM, processor speed, and graphics card).
- Enthusiasm for Learning: A genuine interest in design, drafting, and developing professional CAD skills is the most crucial prerequisite. No prior experience with AutoCAD or other CAD software is necessary, as the course begins with fundamental concepts.
Skills Covered / Tools Used
- Core Interface Navigation: Mastering the AutoCAD environment, understanding the Ribbon, command line, status bar, tool palettes, and customizing the workspace.
- Precision 2D Drafting:
  - Drawing Commands: Utilizing fundamental tools like Line, Polyline, Circle, Arc, Rectangle, Ellipse, Spline, and Construction Line for accurate geometric creation.
  - Modification Tools: Applying commands such as Move, Copy, Rotate, Scale, Trim, Extend, Fillet, Chamfer, Mirror, Array (Rectangular, Polar, Path), Offset, Break, Join, and Explode to manipulate existing geometry.
  - Annotation & Documentation: Creating and managing Text styles (Single Line, Multiline Text), Dimension styles (Linear, Aligned, Angular, Radius, Diameter, Arc Length, Ordinate), Leaders, and Tables.
  - Layers & Properties: Organizing drawings using layers, controlling object properties (color, linetype, lineweight), and understanding layer states.
  - Blocks & External References: Creating and inserting reusable blocks, dynamic blocks, attributes, and working with external references (Xrefs) for efficient design management.
  - Inquiry & Utilities: Using commands like Measure, Area, Distance, ID Point, and List to extract information from drawings.
  - Plotting & Publishing: Setting up paper space layouts, creating viewports, scaling drawings, plotting to various scales, and exporting to PDF or other formats.
- Comprehensive 3D Modeling:
  - 3D Workspace & Navigation: Shifting to the 3D environment, using view controls (Orbit, ViewCube), and understanding User Coordinate Systems (UCS).
  - Solid Primitives: Creating basic 3D shapes like Box, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Pyramid, Wedge, and Torus.
  - Complex Solid Creation: Employing commands like Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, and Loft to generate intricate 3D forms from 2D profiles.
  - Boolean Operations: Combining and modifying solids using Union, Subtract, and Intersect commands.
  - Surface Modeling Basics: Introduction to creating and editing surfaces for organic shapes.
  - Mesh Modeling Fundamentals: Understanding mesh objects and basic mesh editing.
  - Visual Styles & Rendering: Applying various visual styles (e.g., Conceptual, Realistic, Wireframe), assigning materials, setting up cameras, lighting, and performing basic rendering to visualize 3D models.
  - Generating 2D from 3D: Creating accurate 2D sections, elevations, and detailed views directly from 3D models for documentation.
- Advanced CAD Workflows: Implementing best practices for drawing organization, file management, data exchange, and collaborative project environments.
