Purpose and description of the content of education:
The course has been prepared for people who are just starting to work with the program and those who need to organize their knowledge in the field of using the AutoCAD program. The classes are conducted in such a way that the beginner gains as much knowledge as possible and quickly acquires practical skills. During the course, issues related to the use of the AutoCAD software (the appearance of the interface, toolbars, program menu, coordinate systems) are implemented step by step, and later on, they move on to more advanced functions, such as modifying objects, hatching, dimensioning, creating descriptions for 2D drawings and technical documentation.
