This training provides instruction in drawing construction with CAD for architectural drafting based on conventional drafting techniques (basic, intermediate, and advanced levels), a review of basic math skills applicable to CAD, architectural terminology, drafting standards and methods, computer fundamentals, employment literacy, as well as occupational safety guidelines. This course is also an introduction to the 3D modeler SolidWorks and will take you to advance level of drawing. The course will focus on parts, assemblies and drawings. Topics will include sketching in SolidWorks, creating relationships, parametric constraints, 3D tools, configurations, associative 2D part drawings, design tables, and assemblies.
AUTOCAD
This course is designed to train students for entry-level employment as operators of computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems. It provides instruction in drawing construction with CAD for architectural drafting based on conventional drafting techniques (basic, intermediate, and advanced levels), a review of basic math skills applicable to CAD, architectural terminology, drafting standards and methods, computer fundamentals, employment literacy, as well as occupational safety guidelines. Participants will learn the basics of CAD geometry creation and manipulation using a variety of computer command inputs including keyboard shortcuts, toolbox icons and mouse menu selection. Geometry created will include points, lines, circles, arcs, and basic polygons. Geometry is edited or manipulated using commands such as zoom, pan, trim, extend, copy, rotate and by the use of geometry “grips”. Advanced CAD concepts such as 3D creation or Solid Modeling will not be covered.
