2D and 3D Animation Autocad Training

AutoCAD is a computer-aided software program created by Autodesk that enables drafters, architects, engineers, and other experienced professionals to create two dimensional and three-dimensional models of solid surfaces and meshes. AutoCAD is widely used, and it helps in preventing product failures and warranty issues. With innovative ideas and creative imagination, the user can create realistic presentations with AutoCAD. It provides the necessary tools and workflow to design and build great products.

Upon completion of the course student will able to:

• Navigate the interface, open and close files, and use the Zoom commands to adjust the display of objects on the screen.
• Describe units, function keys, and coordinate systems and create basic objects, using different data input techniques, object snaps, object snap tracking, polar tracking, and Polar Snap.
• Select, modify, and adjust the properties of objects using object grips and the Move, Copy, Rotate, Mirror, and Array commands.
• Create and manage layers and line types and obtain geometric information from objects in the drawing.
• Modify objects by changing their size, shape, orientation, or geometric composition using Trim, Extend, Offset, Join, and other commands.
• Create layouts and create and manipulate viewports on the layouts.
• Create and edit annotation objects using multiline and single line text.
• Enhance the drawing's visual appearance with hatch patterns and gradient fills.
• Create, edit, and manage dimensions and dimension styles.
• Create blocks and reuse them in your drawings using the Insert command, Design Center, and tool palettes. Utilize the Design Center and tool palettes to insert and create other content in your drawings.
• Create multiple segmented polyline objects, create the smooth curve objects of splines and ellipses, and add tables to your drawings.
• Create and use page setups and plot your designs from layouts and model space.
• Use drawing templates to simplify the process of creating new drawings that contain all the required dimension styles, text styles, and layers that you would otherwise create manually, each time you created a new drawing.
