Course Description
“AutoCAD from Zero to Hero” takes you on a practical journey where you’ll learn how to use AutoCAD effectively, even if you’ve never worked with it before. Starting with the basics of the interface and drawing commands, you will gradually build up your skills to handle complex 2D drafting, precise dimensions, and professional annotations. As you progress, you’ll dive into advanced features like layers, blocks, hatching, and layouts for creating accurate technical drawings.
The course also introduces 3D modeling in AutoCAD, helping you create and visualize real-world objects, apply materials, and render them for presentations. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to work on real projects in engineering, architecture, interior design, and manufacturing fields.
