Autocad Essentials (beginner) 12/17/19 - CANCELED

The AutoCAD Essentials class is a hands-on three day class that introduces the user to 2D AutoCAD. This course will get you started if you have never used AutoCAD. It is also a great refresher course if you haven’t used it in a while, have been using an older release, or if you just want a thorough brush up on the basics and important new features. Upon completion of this course, you will be confident in using AutoCAD to create, layer, edit, modify, annotate, dimension and prepare sheets for plotting.
