Learn the essentials of AutoCAD 2020

- AutoCAD is the world's most well-known design and drafting software used to create precise, 2D and 3D designs. In this structured course, learn how to get started with AutoCAD from the ground up. I'll take you through the basics of AutoCAD with a QuickStart course, followed by the essentials and the user interface, and I'll show you how to use the AutoCAD ribbon effectively. I'll teach you how to choose workspaces that suit your working environment, and use the AutoCAD ViewCube, and teach you how to manage your files and options, navigate your drawings, and draw and modify objects quickly and effectively. I'll also explain how to draw accurately with grid and snap, and how to use text and annotations to communicate your design intent. We'll also look at some of the newer features in AutoCAD, where you can compare drawings and view the results using the DWG compare command and share your designs via browser-based viewer. Upon wrapping up this course, you'll be prepared to use AutoCAD competently in any industry. Architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, or product design.
