AutoCAD 2D for Architects: Tools & Real Project Fast

This short and focused AutoCAD course is designed for architecture students and aspiring designers who want quick yet comprehensive training. In just 3 to 4 hours, you’ll learn all the essential AutoCAD tools and commands step by step, with a strong focus on real-world architectural workflows.

Through a complete hands-on project, you'll apply what you learn to design and draft a small architectural plan from scratch—making this course both practical and skill-based. Whether you're a total beginner or someone looking to refresh your AutoCAD skills, this course will give you the confidence to start using AutoCAD in your design work immediately.

By the end of the course, you'll not only understand how AutoCAD works, but you'll also know how to manage layers, use dimensioning tools, create blocks, and prepare your files for plotting and printing. You'll gain valuable drafting skills that are essential for academic projects or real architectural practice.

What you’ll learn:

• AutoCAD interface and essential settings

• Drawing tools (line, polyline, rectangle, circle, etc.)

• Modify tools (offset, trim, extend, mirror, etc.)

• Layers, blocks, hatching, annotations, and dimensions

• Page setup and plotting for printing

• Complete architectural project: drafting a small house plan from start to finish

No prior experience is required—just your interest in architecture and design.
