Summary

A 60-hour introduction to AutoCAD built from the first two courses in VDCI's AutoCAD sequence. It covers the interface, navigation, drawing environments, and customization, then works through 2D drafting and annotation with an emphasis on precision tools, layer organization, and clean file management.

The second half covers the workflow features that speed up production drawing: dynamic blocks, external references, user coordinate systems, sheet layouts, and plotting setup for architectural, structural, and electrical plans. Tuition includes three months of AutoCAD access.

Who this course is for

Beginners learning AutoCAD for drafting and design work, and architects, engineers, and trades staff who need working 2D drafting skills without a full certification track.
