Complete course in AutoCAD : 2D and 3D (Download)
Technical drawing forms the backbone of architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. AutoCAD, the industry-standard CAD software, transforms design concepts into precise, scalable blueprints that guide construction and production worldwide. Yet many engineers, architects, and designers struggle to harness AutoCAD’s full capabilities, limiting themselves to basic functions while advanced tools remain unexplored. Mastering AutoCAD isn’t just about knowing commands—it’s understanding how to solve real drafting problems efficiently. This comprehensive training bridges that gap, equipping you with both fundamental skills and advanced techniques professionals use daily.
About This AutoCAD Course
CADCIM Technologies delivers an exhaustive AutoCAD 2020 training program with 202 pedagogically sequenced video lectures. Designed for engineers, architects, designers, and draftsmen, this course explains every command through practical examples and industrial applications. The curriculum prepares learners for both real-world projects and the Autodesk Certified Professional exam, with quizzes and practice tests reinforcing knowledge throughout.
Course Curriculum
Foundation and Interface
Master AutoCAD’s user interface, file management, drawing units, limits, zoom options, and template creation. Understand coordinate systems essential for precise technical drawing.
Drawing Tools Mastery
Learn lines, polylines, splines, circles, arcs, rectangles, polygons, ellipses, construction lines, rays, points, hatches, gradients, and revision clouds. Progressive examples demonstrate each tool’s practical application in technical drawings.
Comprehensive Modify Tools
Execute selection sets, copy, move, stretch, scale, offset, rotate, mirror, trim, extend, fillet, chamfer, blend curves, erase, explode, align, break, join, overkill, arrays (rectangular, path, polar), divide, measure, wipeout, regions, and boundaries through extensive demonstrations.
Advanced Workflow Features
Master status bar toggles, object snaps, object snap tracking, selection cycling, workspace switching, and layer management including layer states, filters, matching, isolation, merging, and translation.
Professional Annotation
Create single-line and multiline text with custom text styles. Add standard and annotative dimensions using comprehensive dimensioning tools, manage dimension styles, apply quick dimensioning, baseline and continue functions, spacing adjustments, breaks, inspections, centermarks, and centerlines.
Leaders, Tables, and Constraints
Design multileaders with custom styles, alignment, and collection tools. Create and manage tables. Apply geometric and dimensional constraints using AutoConstrain, coincident, parallel, tangent, collinear, perpendicular, smooth, concentric, horizontal, symmetric, fix, vertical, and equal constraints. Manage constraints with equations and the Parameters Manager.
Views, Viewports, and Model Space
Control UCS icons, ViewCube, and navigation bars. Create custom views, understand model versus paper space distinctions, create and manage viewports (both model space and paper space), combine viewports, and work with custom viewport configurations.
Blocks and Attributes
Master block creation, insertion, annotative blocks, write blocks, dynamic blocks, block editing, Design Center integration, block renaming, and purging unused objects. Define, edit, and manage attributes for intelligent drawings.

Drawing Utilities and Groups
Utilize drawing properties, List, ID Point, Quick Select, clipboard operations, PDF import and attachment, external attachments, tool palettes, and group creation and management.
3D Modeling Capabilities
Create 3D primitives, use extrude, loft, revolve, sweep, and presspull tools. Apply Boolean operations (union, subtract, intersect), interference checking, slicing, thickening, and 3D transformation tools (move, rotate, scale, mirror, align). Generate orthographic views from 3D models with complete modeling examples.
Output and Collaboration
Configure page setups, plot drawings, add plotters, create color-dependent and named plot styles. Work with external references (XREFs), save to web and mobile, compare drawings using DWG Compare, and share drawing views.
Advanced Professional Tools
Customize the interface and create aliases, write and run scripts, use Visual LISP Editor, design title blocks with fields, manage sheet sets, publish sheets, use E-Transmit, work with CAD Standards, 3D print models, create action macros, and extract data efficiently.
Who Should Enroll
This course suits mechanical, civil, electrical, and electronics engineers, draftsmen, architecture students, product designers, and anyone pursuing CAD proficiency for professional work. Whether starting from scratch or refreshing existing skills, the structured approach ensures comprehensive mastery of AutoCAD’s capabilities.
