AutoCAD Fundamentals is a 4-week, project-based course built for engineers, drafters, architects, and construction professionals who want to produce and read AutoCAD drawings with confidence. Rather than covering every menu in the software, the course focuses on the workflow you will actually use on real projects: setting up a drawing correctly from the start, navigating the interface efficiently, and using the core drawing and editing tools that make up the bulk of daily CAD work. You will learn how to organize drawings using layers, blocks, and templates so that your files stay consistent and easy to hand off to colleagues or clients. Dimensioning and annotation are covered in depth, since accurate, standards-compliant dimensioning is often what separates a professional drawing from an amateur one. The course closes with plotting and output, covering page setup, plot styles, and exporting to PDF and DWF for review and approval. Delivered fully online, the course is designed for working professionals in Zambia and abroad who need practical, applicable AutoCAD skills without stepping away from their jobs.
