Autocad Tutorials Manual 2016 Building Design
. Review the basic AutoCAD controls. Pan and zoom in a drawing, and control the order of overlapping objects.
Create basic geometric objects such as lines, circles, and hatched areas. Ensure the precision required for your models. Organize your drawing by assigning objects to layers. You can assign properties such as color and linetype to individual objects, or as default properties assigned to layers. Perform editing operations such as erase, move, and trim on the objects in a drawing.
2016 Building Design Suite
Insert symbols and details into your drawings from commercial online sources or from your own designs. Display one or more scaled views of your design on a standard-size drawing sheet called a layout. Create notes, labels, bubbles, and callouts.
Save and restore style settings by name. Create several types of dimensions and save dimension settings by name. Output a drawing layout to a printer, a plotter, or a file. Save and restore the printer settings for each layout.
Scott Onstott has been using AutoCAD for 24 years and has witnessed its evolution into the most popular industry-standard computer-aided drafting and design application. This course is your detailed introduction to the 2016 version of AutoCAD.
Scott begins with the basics of the user interface and leads you step-by-step to learning how to draw the kind of precise, measured 2D drawings that form the basis of design communication the world over. Along the way, you'll learn how to create and modify geometry, layers, blocks, attributes, dimensions, layouts, and how to share your drawings with others. Note: The course is an update to our 2015 training, including new movies on working with object snaps, writing multiline objects, making dimension objects, and more. Instructor.

AutoCAD has been around for over 30 years and is the industry standard for computer aided design. People use AutoCAD in many different professions and disciplines. In this course, we will start at the beginning drawing lines, rectangles, circles, and other geometric objects. We will then learn many tools to manipulate these objects and control they're visibility. You will gain experience in practice projects.
We will add to your knowledge step by step with topics such as hatching, dimensioning, annotation, attributes, tables, external references, layouts, and creating output. We'll cover all these tools and more.
So let's get started with AutoCAD 2016 Essential Training. Practice while you learn with exercise files. Watch this course anytime, anywhere.
