Design Like a Pro
YOUR FUTURE IN DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE STARTS HERE.
In this AutoCAD Futures program, we will start at the very beginning, and will use AutoCAD to draft CAD symbols, kitchen and bath fixtures, and then create a floor plan. Students will learn to draw on layers, add text, dimensions and will plot the drawing at a scale.
