Students will gain an understanding of construction and engineering drawing conventions, annotation methods, scaling and the fundamental tools and techniques using Autodesk AutoCAD software. Furthermore, students will examine how to add and modify objects, text, dimensions, hatching and blocks through the completion of moderately complex, two-dimensional working drawings using both imperial and metric units. This course is a prerequisite for CADD-1015 AutoCAD Intermediate.Each of the three AutoCAD micro-credential courses award an official RRC Polytech digital badge that can be shared on social media, with a fourth badge awarded for completing all three of the micro-credentials.
