Description

Simple, Concise and Effective AutoCAD course that teaches you right from the very basics to professional level

There were many awesome enhancements and new tools that were added in AutoCAD 2015 and 2016 versions like the DIM tool and Centerline, Centermark tool. There were many display related enhancements too that made the popular AutoCAD software even better then it was before.

So, in this course, you will learn all about the AutoCAD software right from the very basics including the new features and enhancements.

A practical approach to learning AutoCAD

Throughout the course, I have used practical examples and drawings to give you a proper understanding of the real application of tools in actual drawings. A continuous workflow from basics to advance topics is adopted in the course to keep things simple without overwhelming the learner with a lot of information.

Free practice drawing course are included in this package with more than 30 Mechanical, civil and electrical drawings for you to practice the tools and commands learned in this course.
