Summary

  • Level : Beginner to intermediate
  • Duration : 20 to 21 hours (recommended 3 hours/session)
  • Full day : 4 days (5 hours/session)
  • Computer platform : Windows
  • Course Certificate: : Certificate of Completion (if the course conducted at Pusat Komputer Infotek).
  • Instructor-led class.

Goal

The main focus of this course is the approach of how to create a basic orthographic projection drawings with AutoCAD and the tools related to those workflows. Hands on practical experience is one of the class main activities:

  • Understanding of the basic how views can be projected.
  • Get use to the drawing tools, modifiers, auto snap and most importantly the infere guides feature in AutoCAD.
  • Create a precise 2D drawing (to scale).
  • The course serves as a foundation if you wish to work in architect firms, engineering firms and any industry which requires skills out there.

Objective

  • This course allows students to explore the AutoCAD drawing environment. You will learn how to create simple 2D technical drawings using the precisions tools, modifiers tools, hatching and etc. but most importantly the approach of drawing methods. There are many ways implementing AutoCAD in your pipeline and working approach, but this course allows you to get started in a quick way.
  • Learn how to create orthographic drawing with projections methods, tools modifiers as recommended.
  • This course also benefits school children in particular after completing Form 5 where unsure which area they should go for. 2D technical drawing is a must particularly in the construction industry, fabrication work works of metal works, renovation and etc.
  • Also it is a tool for communication and documentation of works within the industry you are in.

Preparation

SCHOOL CHILDREN

  • Be Prepared for hard works and learn hard as you are about to venture into uncharted territories in the CAD ecosystem. Understand that this course is not like those subjects in school. The way of the class being conducted and the teaching methodology is different. This is an adult learning session.
  • Do not expect comprehensive notes or hands out in the course because this is an instructor-led class. Hands-on practice is the key to your success in 2D drawings. Note taking is highly recommended.
  • Complete your assignments, if time is limited participants can complete them at home.
  • The result of your success is the level of commitment you put in.

ADULT STUDENTS

  • Complete the assignment given.
  • Practice makes perfect.
  • Understand the application pipelines and workflow is crucial in this course if you already in any specific industry that uses CAD system.

MANUAL DRAFTERS

  • If you already have the knowledge in technical drawing but do not process the experience in CAD system then this is the course for you. Upgrade those skills and drafting experince you have from manual to CAD technology that provides you the neccesary skill-set to position yourself ahead.
  • Using computer input devices perhaps will be a challenge at first but with this intensive 20 hours of practice will speed up your user experience.

Recommendation

Participants from varies industrial-specified fields will find this course practical and valuable to their production pipelines:

  • Architect
  • Civil and engineering
  • Mechanical and engineering.
  • Interior Designer
  • Building Contractor and Renovator
  • Landscape architect
  • Landscape contractor
  • Scaffold builders
  • Speaker cabinet builder
  • Wood working related
  • Oil and Gas contractor
  • Road Safety Sign makers
  • Hobbyists
  • etc.

Prerequisite

Before you participate the course, you should have:

  • basic knowledge and comfortable with Windows operating system environment (OS).
  • using the mouse in general inclusive the left, middle or Scroll wheel and right button.
  • fair understanding of keyboard usage like short-cut keys, combination of key strokes and function keys.
  • Prepare a USB drive to backup your exercises.
  • Must have the minimum computer system requirement at home or at work for practice.

Disclaimer:

Alteration of the course modules by the author might occurred from time to time. In some cases, students find the standard assignments are difficult to follow. Should this happen, different set of exercises will be introduced. However, the floor plan and layout plan assignments are compulsory.

Limitation:

Not every commands or options are covered, because the intent is to demonstrate the most essential tools and concepts such as those listed in the course coverage, objectives and goals. This course is not for 3D modelling purposes like those featured in the full version of AutoCAD courses. AutoCAD LT is a Lite edition of AutoCAD (the full version) and it is for 2D drawings only which is part of the CAD ecosystem.
