New to AutoCAD or want to grow your skills? Check out our new learning series.
AutoCAD Foundations will teach you everything you need to know to start working independently in AutoCAD. This new learning series is perfect for beginners or those looking to refresh their AutoCAD toolkits.
We'll begin with a tour of the AutoCAD UI, then teach you how to create and save drawing files. Then, we'll cover basic commands so you can create and modify objects, and walk through how to annotate, hatch, and dimension your drawings.
The series continues with some instruction on blocks so you can streamline repetitive work. We'll close out by teaching you how to plot your finalized drawing for sharing with others.
Each lesson contains hands-on exercises so you can learn by drawing directly in AutoCAD. To try out a drawing project from beginning to end, we recommend the Architectural Design: House Deck and Mechanical Design: Square Flange Plate tutorials.
