About the AutoCAD Associate (2D+3D) course

AutoCAD is a world-class 2D Drafting & 3D Modeling application. Its innovative interface, allows users to create nearly any design imaginable. The systematic project management tools make it easy to keep track of even the most complicated projects, and it makes for efficient coordination with colleagues. Its documentation tools allow users to share impressive presentations for both collaborators and clients.

This course also introduces students to the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models with AutoCAD 3D. Students explore how to create and modify solid models. Creating 3D models helps users better visualize and Students learn how to present their designs that are created with CAD.

You will be able to

  • Draw accurate 2D geometry using coordinates, object snaps and tracking
  • Edit drawings with move, copy, trim, extend, offset, fillet and array
  • Organise drawings with layers, blocks and properties
  • Add text, dimensions, hatches and tables to drawings
  • Set up layouts and viewports and plot drawings to scale
  • Create and edit 3D solids with extrude, revolve, sweep and Boolean tools
  • Prepare a small 2D and 3D project drawing in your own field

Who it is for

  • Civil, mechanical, electrical and architecture students
  • Diploma and ITI students who need AutoCAD for jobs or projects
  • Interior, fashion, textile and jewellery design learners who need CAD basics
  • Students joining a summer or winter internship programme

What you need

  • Basic computer skills
  • Engineering drawing knowledge is helpful but not compulsory
