AutoCAD Basics:

This class is essential for all new AutoCAD users, or as an excellent class for end users of other CAD systems who are migrating to AutoCAD. Upon completion of this course students will be able to create basic 2D drawings using the drawing and editing tools; organize drawing objects on layers; add text and basic dimensions; and prepare to plot the drawing. Students will learn essential skills in addition to more sophisticated techniques for drawing setup and productivity.
