AutoCAD 2019 is a powerful designing and drafting software used to create precise 2D and 3D designs. In this beginner's course, learn how to get started with AutoCAD. Shaun Bryant covers the basics of the user interface, showing how to use the ribbon, choose workspaces, and use the View Cube. Shaun also demonstrates how to manage files and options, navigate your drawings, and draw and modify objects. Plus, he explains how to draw more accurately with Grid and Snap, use text and annotations to help others get a clearer understanding of your designs, and compare drawings and view the results using the DWG Compare command. Upon wrapping up this course, you'll be prepared to use AutoCAD competently in any industry-architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, or product design.

Topics include:

• Drawing simple geometry
• OSNAP and OTRACK
• Annotating simple designs
• Communicating your design intent
• Using workspaces and the navigation bar
• Editing and managing options
• Editing polylines and splines
• Working with coordinates
• Using the Hatch and Gradient commands
• Aligning text
• Designing a table
• Working with layouts and annotation

Welcome to this AutoCAD Essential Training Course. What we're going to be doing as we work through this course is getting you up to speed with AutoCAD and making you a seasoned AutoCAD user. The whole idea of this course is it'll teach you all the methodologies and naming philosophies that you need to know and how to drive AutoCAD effectively. So as we work through this course we'll take you through a lot of exercise files teaching you how to drive AutoCAD and how to make sure that you drive AutoCAD productively and most importantly profitably.

The whole idea is you don't want to waste time when you're using AutoCAD. You want AutoCAD to be a tool to allow you to work with that bottom line and make sure that you're effective at the same time as well. So let's get going now and get you working through AutoCAD and get you through your essential training.
