In this self-paced course, you’ll use AutoCAD to create title blocks from scratch and draft detailed residential construction documents for a moderately complex single-story home. Work through guided, project-based lessons that cover essential AutoCAD commands, interface navigation, and professional CAD workflows. The focus is on 2D drafting techniques used in construction documentation, including dimensioning, layout setup, layer management, and plotting.
- Design title blocks and drawing labels used to produce complete sheet sets
- Draft floor plans, roof plans, enlarged views, and building elevations with accurate annotation and detailing
- Integrate external references while managing layers, model space, layouts, and multiple drawing scales
- Organize final sheet sets in alignment with National CAD Standards for industry-ready documentation
- Apply intermediate AutoCAD techniques to create precise layouts and configure plots for final deliverables
