AutoCAD 2D and 3D

During the course, students learn the features, commands and techniques for creating, editing, and printing drawings with AutoCAD. Using practical hands-on exercises, students explore how to create 2D production drawings in the best interactive learning environment under the guidance of a certified trainer.

Using practical hands-on exercises, students explore how to create 2D production drawings in the best interactive learning environment under the guidance of a certified trainer.

Lectures of the course shall be dedicated solely to the 3D functions within AutoCAD. The 3D Modelling workspace shall be discussed in detail, and the user interface functions specific to 3D functionality will be introduced during the first lecture. We shall also be covering two different aspects of 3D modelling - starting off with primitives as building blocks and applying Boolean functions to achieve desired 3D models. Another methodology of obtaining 3D objects from complex 2D polylines shall be discussed. Following the 3D modelling aspect, we shall also review the tools related to material editing whereby we will be using standard materials from the Autodesk library as well as creating new materials from scratch. The lighting tools within AutoCAD shall also be discussed, including point lights, spot lights and even simulating the sun. Finally we shall discuss and finalize our course through the rendering function, whereby our 3D model with materials applied to it, and lighting placed to simulate real life conditions will be rendered. This final stage will also cover cameras and basic animations to create a walkthrough.

We have following Modules of AutoCAD:

• AutoCAD MEP
• AutoCAD Steel
