About This League

AutoCAD is a widely used CAD software for 2D and 3D design and drafting. This league equips students with foundational AutoCAD skills essential for creating precise engineering drawings. It focuses on building a strong understanding of the software's core functionalities for design and documentation.

What you will learn

Upon completing this league, you will be able to:

  • Navigate the AutoCAD interface and drawing area, understanding coordinate systems to create basic lines and circles.
  • Precisely draw fundamental shapes like rectangles and polylines, utilizing object snaps and polar tracking for accuracy.
  • Edit and modify existing drawings efficiently using commands for moving, copying, rotating, scaling, and trimming objects.
  • Annotate drawings with text and apply industry-standard dimensions to clearly communicate design intent.
  • Organize drawing elements using layers and prepare designs for output through plotting and file export.

What this league covers

ModuleWhat it covers
Introduction to AutoCAD & Your First DrawingLearn the AutoCAD interface, navigation tools, coordinate systems, and draw your first line and circle using essential commands.
Drawing Basic Shapes & Precision ToolsMaster drawing rectangles, arcs, and polylines, and employ OSNAPS and ortho mode for accurate and precise geometric construction.
Modifying Your Drawings: Editing ToolsGain proficiency in editing commands like MOVE, COPY, ROTATE, SCALE, TRIM, EXTEND, CHAMFER, FILLET, and STRETCH to refine designs.
Annotation & Dimensioning Your DesignsAdd single line and multiline text, and apply various linear, radial, and diameter dimensions to accurately document designs.
Organizing & Preparing for OutputUnderstand and implement layers, lineweights, and linetypes, and learn basic plotting and exporting to PDF and image formats.

Students will be equipped to produce basic 2D engineering drawings for internship and placement applications.
