AutoCAD Basics (Part 1)

In this first video of the two-part series, you will be guided through the basics of AutoCAD, the 3D drafting platform that houses Toolbox. Follow along with RJ Pranski as he provides a comprehensive demonstration of using AutoCAD’s 2D drawing tools. The demonstration involves recreating the classical layout found in the game Pac-Man within AutoCAD.

You will learn how to utilize Project Properties to define specific job information (personnel, name, date, number, etc.), properly draw polylines to create paths and shapes using snap points, manage object properties for the products and drawings, use orthomode, move, offset, and rotate objects around model space, use frequently used command line commands in the drawing process, and create 2D drawings suitable for drafting.
