Duration
2 days
Prerequisite
Zero knowledge of AutoCAD 2D
Course Description
In many organizations, lack of 2D knowledge hampers the organization, as sometimes minor changes or edits to a drawing can take days to complete, as you have to wait for the drafting department or people skilled with AutoCAD to come back with the changes. It will help the participant be more productive at the workplace, and workflows can turn around much faster.
Target Audience
Those needing first time knowledge of AutoCAD or those with Zero or minimal knowledge of AutoCAD – Draughtsman, Assistant Engineers and Engineers in the field of Mechanical, Civil, Road, Transport, Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, Industrial, Chemical and Petroleum. Product Engineers. Architects and Interior Designers
Learning Objectives
Upon Completion of this course, students will be able draw, edit, modify, add to previously drawn 2D drawings, and create completely new 2D drawings. Examples of 2D drawings will be office or building layouts and different views of a mechanical object (side view, plan view, etc)
Methodology
Life practical hands-on sessions 70% and 305 Theory. Students will have mastered with confidence subject matter, to be able to independently pursue subject matter by the end of class.
