Special emphasis is placed on the usage of AutoCAD tools to help beginners understand the functions and applications of the tools in the drawing. This course consists of 18 video lectures that are organized in a pedagogical sequence, providing step-by-step instructions to guide users through the learning process.

[Applications]
The application of this course can be seen in the use of AutoCAD for drafting and designing. After completing this course, students will be able to use AutoCAD commands to create drawings, dimension drawings, insert texts and blocks, and understand the principles of dimensioning and assembly drawing. They will also be able to use the tools and commands in AutoCAD to solve drafting and design problems.

[Career Paths]
Based on this course, the following career paths are recommended to the learners:

1. AutoCAD Designer: AutoCAD Designers are responsible for creating and modifying drawings using AutoCAD software. They use the software to create detailed drawings of products, buildings, and other structures. They must be familiar with the software’s tools and commands and be able to use them to create accurate drawings. This job is expected to grow in demand as more companies are using AutoCAD for their design and engineering projects.

2. CAD Technician: CAD Technicians are responsible for creating and modifying drawings using AutoCAD software. They use the software to create detailed drawings of products, buildings, and other structures. They must be familiar with the software’s tools and commands and be able to use them to create accurate drawings. This job is expected to grow in demand as more companies are using AutoCAD for their design and engineering projects.

3. CAD Drafter: CAD Drafters are responsible for creating and modifying drawings using AutoCAD software. They use the software to create detailed drawings of products, buildings, and other structures. They must be familiar with the software’s tools and commands and be able to use them to create accurate drawings. This job is expected to grow in demand as more companies are using AutoCAD for their design and engineering projects.

4. 3D Modeler: 3D Modelers are responsible for creating 3D models using AutoCAD software. They use the software to create detailed 3D models of products, buildings, and other structures. They must be familiar with the software’s tools and commands and be able to use them to create accurate 3D models. This job is expected to grow in demand as more companies are using AutoCAD for their design and engineering projects.
