About the course

Description:

This course is a comprehensive and practical guide to mastering AutoCAD 2026, designed for students, engineers, architects, and professionals who want to build expertise in both 2D drafting and 3D modeling. You'll gain hands-on experience in creating technical drawings, managing layers, using blocks, dimensioning, and developing complete 3D models with real-world applications.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your CAD skills, this course walks you through 20 structured modules that cover the latest features and professional workflows of AutoCAD.

Key Highlights:

• Learn AutoCAD 2026 from basics to advanced features
• Master both 2D drafting and 3D modeling workflows
• Work with layers, blocks, attributes, dimensions, hatches, and more
• Create real-world mechanical, civil, or architectural drawings
• Prepare and plot professional drawings and portfolios

What you will learn:

Get Comfortable with the AutoCAD Interface

• Navigate the AutoCAD 2026 workspace
• Customize tool palettes, templates, and settings
• Use drawing units, coordinates, and drawing limits effectively

Master Precise 2D Drafting Techniques

• Draw using line, circle, arc, and polyline tools
• Modify objects with trim, extend, offset, mirror, and array
