Overview
In this Learning AutoCAD 2015 for Mac training course, expert author Brian Benton will teach you the tools and functions available to you in this computer aided design program for the Mac operating system. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no experience with AutoCAD is required.
You will start by learning about the new features in AutoCAD 2015 for Mac, then jump into learning how to work with the AutoCAD for Mac interface. From there, Brian will teach you the basics, such as starting a new file, selecting drawing objects, and working with specific units. This video tutorial will also cover topics including CAD drafting, manipulating objects, object properties, and drawing with accuracy. You will also learn about dimensions, text, and hatches, as well as drawing and re-using blocks, drawing spaces, and printing your drawings. Finally, you will work on a final project where you will draw the basic floor plans for a simple movie house and landscaping.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of using AutoCAD 2015 for Mac to create your own 2D drawings. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
