CAD 2D

In this competency-based course students will learn the fundamentals of drafting in a modern, networked, computer lab using AutoCAD drafting software. The course will cover the concepts and application of orthographic projection, isometric representation, and basic dimensioning. Topics also include linetype conventions, lettering, freehand drafting, geometric construction, sections, and auxiliary views.

In this course students will:

– Demonstrate a basic knowledge of CAD and the ability to use appropriate technique and procedures for the care and use of hardware and software to produce a series of orthographic and isometric drawings.

-Understand the importance of developing precise basic entities and will demonstrate the ability to produce accurate drawings, using computer techniques and procedures.

-Understand the function of editing commands and will demonstrate the ability to use edit commands to produce accurate drawings.

-Demonstrate an understanding of zoom, pan, views, layers, color units, windows, grids, snaps, and command functions. The student will demonstrate the ability to manipulate geometric entities on the monitor and to produce a drawing.

-Understand the proper technique of scaling and plotting to proper size and will be able to demonstrate that ability by plotting industry-quality drawings.

-Understand the importance of measuring systems and the measuring instruments involved in drafting and related fields. The student will develop the use of fractions, decimals, and metrics in measurement units.
