[Current Class Schedule]

The objective of AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT Essentials is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in AutoCAD. All topics, including features and commands, relate to both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT unless specifically noted otherwise in the course. To make the process easier and provide flexibility for instructors and students, the course is divided into two parts that can be taken independently.

AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT Essentials covers the essential core topics for working with AutoCAD. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools. More advanced tools are also introduced throughout the course. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts
