This course is designed for students who have limited or no experience with AutoCAD drafting software. Each online session will be 3 hours held twice per week across three weeks for a total of 6 sessions. Each session will begin with a step-by-step tutorial followed by in-class exercises where students will develop a sample architectural floor plan. Students will leave with a fundamental understanding of initial drawing setup, basic 2D drafting in Model Space, formatting in Paper Space, and printing/plotting.
Students will be required to provide their own desktop or laptop, no tablets, with AutoCAD preinstalled, along with a keyboard and three-button mouse. The program requires a 64-bit operating system, either Mac OS Big Sur (v11) or Windows 10 or later, and a minimum of 8GB RAM and 10GB disk space.
Yestermorrow can provide access to 1 year of free AutoCAD to students who need it. Please email tinder@yestermorrow if you'd like to take advantage of this. Spaces are limited!
