2D AutoCAD Practice drawing and projects

Learn to apply your 2D AutoCAD skills through graded practice drawings and six real-world projects, for beginners and intermediate users.

<h2>About this course</h2>In this course, you practice 2D drafting in AutoCAD by working through a graded collection of dimensioned sample drawings, step by step. The drawings are grouped by difficulty, so your skills build as you go. You start with ten basic practice drawings that reinforce everyday drawing and editing habits, then move to ten intermediate drawings that combine more shapes and demand closer attention to dimensions. Eight advanced practice drawings follow, challenging you with more complex geometry and tighter accuracy. The course finishes with six drawing projects based on real-world objects: the top view of a spanner, a spur gear, the front view of a bottle, the front view of an engine block, a wire cutter, and a circuit diagram. Every drawing is backed by a video walkthrough, so whenever you get stuck, you can check the best workflow for completing it. The videos are made with AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, BricsCAD, and other 2D CAD applications, so you can follow along in whichever one you use. Working through more than thirty drawings gives you steady, hands-on practice. By the end, you will be faster and more confident at reading dimensioned drawings and reproducing them accurately in 2D CAD.<h2>Who should take this course</h2>This course is for you if you know the basics of AutoCAD and want hands-on experience applying them to real-life drawings. It suits beginner and intermediate AutoCAD users, drafting and engineering students, and anyone preparing for work that involves reading and reproducing dimensioned drawings. It also fits users of AutoCAD LT, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and similar 2D CAD applications who want a structured bank of graded practice drawings with video solutions.<h2>Pre-requisites</h2>You should know the basics of working with AutoCAD. AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT 2016 or a later version on Windows is recommended, but BricsCAD, ZWCAD, or other similar 2D CAD software works as well.
