Get started with our Introduction to AutoCAD 2017 Tutorials
Get up to speed quickly with our Introduction to AutoCAD 2017 course. AutoCAD is primarily used for 2D drafting. Engineering professionals have traditionally used drawing boards to create designs by hand with ink pens on acetate sheets. AutoCAD is a drawing tool that was created to provide an efficient and reliable replacement for this process.
The primary use of AutoCAD is to communicate design intent. AutoCAD is used by many different professionals including architects, interior designers, and civil engineers. With AutoCAD 2017, you can make blueprints and floor plans, create graphic designs and engineering drafts, design buildings, detail wiring diagrams for electronics, and much more.
