Drawing and drafting with AutoCAD




Now a days CAD become more popular but Manual drawing is the base of CAD design and only few institutes focus on manual drawing.
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer technology to aid in the design and especially the drafting (technical drawing and engineering drawing) of a part or product, including entire buildings. It is both a visual (or drawing) and symbol-based method of communication whose conventions are particular to a specific technical field.

If someone who are not from technical background and seeking career in CAD designing, we have design a course from basics.

Drawing and drafting with AutoCAD for non-technical:
 Drawing and Drafting
 Anthropometrical studies
 Building Construction
 Computer Applications (AutoCAD)

Drawing and Drafting:

1. Introduction
 Different types of instruments & their uses
 Different types of paper sizes
 Concepts and types of lines
 Line thickness, Dimension line and SI units.
2. Orthographic projections
 Definition meaning and concepts
 Principle and method of projections
 First angle projections
 Third angle projections
 Projection of points, Lines and Planes
3. Development of surfaces
 Development of lateral surfaces of solids like cubes, prisms, cones etc….
4. Projection of Solids
 Axis perpendicular to horizontal plane
 Axis perpendicular to vertical plane
5. Section of solids
 Frustum and truncated section of solids (Prism, Pyramids, Cylinders, Cones, sphere etc.)
6. Isometric Drawing
 Definition meaning and concepts
7. Perspective drawing
 Anatomy of perspective: station point, eye level, cone of vision, picture plane.
 Types of perspective: one point, two point and three point

Anthropometrical studies
Building Construction

1. Construction
2. Brickwork: Terminology, Bricks, bats & closures
3. Bonding: Types of bonds, Introduction to English & Flemish bonds
4. Bricks: Specification of Bricks & Types of bricks most commonly used.
5. Foundations: Need for foundations
6. D.P.C.: Laying of Horizontal D.P.C.
7. Arches: Types of Arches
8. Doors: Types of door and terminology used.
9. Windows: Uses and terminology used.
10. Roofs and trusses: Introduction
11. Stairescases: Design and details of R.C.C. , different types of staircases.

The Future of AutoCAD
It's the aging best seller, yesterday's technology still making millions for Autodesk. The company would rather you license today's technology -- Inventor, Revit, Civil3D -- but it cannot afford to pull the plug on a program that's practically eponymous for CAD, but whose roots go back to the 1970s.
For now, AutoCAD has a future, and there is one word to describe it: "aggressive."
* Aggressive in modifying its user interface.
* Aggressive in locking AutoCAD users into Autodesk products.
* Aggressive in taking on competitors.
