AutoCad for Interior Designers Introduction

About this course

Participants learn to set up AutoCAD and create accurate 2D drawings using core drawing and editing tools. Topics include lines, shapes, layers, object snaps, coordinates, text, dimensions, hatching, arrays, transformations and viewport controls. The course also covers scaled drawings, page setup and basic plotting from model and layout spaces. Teaching combines step-by-step guidance, real-world examples and individual drawing assignments, which can be collected into a portfolio.
