AutoCAD 2D
Autodesk AutoCAD 2D
In this training we will use different drawing tools and options in the user interface, such as lines, guides, modifiers and layers, and also explore working in the 2D and the 3D environment.
Then, we’ll learn how to use the different features of the software to draw a floor plan, several 3D models and put them all together into one final 3D model where we can explore different options using view styles.
