Drawing and drafting with AutoCAD

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:

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.
