This two-day course introduces the student to the very basic essential AutoCAD commands. This class is NOT intended as a substitute for our very in depth and thorough AutoCAD Level I class and will not develop the skill levels required of a CAD Operator or day-to-day CAD user.

 

A typical student for this class might be a CAD Manager or Project Manager. This class also serves as a prerequisite for our Land Desktop, Autodesk MAP, and Architectural Desktop classes for students with no prior AutoCAD experience.

 

Anyone intending to use AutoCAD in a production environment on a egular basis should enroll in AutoCAD Level I.
