Question

what is the best way to learn autocad i dont know how to use autocad can u help me please!!

Answer 1

o.k. this is a topic i am very passionate about. I learned AutoCAD in college and it was the primary focus for 2 years, and with that, there was still allot that could be learned. To learn autoCAD to the point of making lines and circles, and ultimately being able to create drawings can be done with a few week course, but i highly discourage this type of training. I have worked with way too many people that have just enough training to be dangerous. see autocad is not just a drafting tool it is a productivity tool. there is so much it can do, provided drawings are done in a structured way. the program that comes in the box is a core system that can be programed and manipulated to preform tasks very efficiently in a automated method. you truly can set it up to preform multiple repetitive tasks for you, if you know how. if you don't you will waist allot of time and have a greater chance of error. It is made in a open platform so that it can be adapted to any industry and any company to address their particular need. it can interact with other programs such as excel and a sql server. But this requires drawings to be dont in the "correct way" not simply "drawn". My recommendation is to take classes at a community college, that will get you started. but continue with classes all the classes offered, then stay on top of it. get continuing education with each new release, it not only gets you info on new techniques it refreshes your memories on old ones as well.

Also Autodesk sells course ware to get you started as well, but please don't rely on it solely.

Answer 2

My school required that every student learned to use AutoCad in either 6th or 7th grade. I learned in 6th, and remember very little, however, I'm sure the website has an article on how to use it. If all else fails, Google it.

Answer 3

Best way to learn AutoCAD is to take collage AutoCAD classes (associate degree). When you get the basics down try to get a job using your new learned skill. At the end of the day you learn by DOING. You will learn more as you use it and ask questions.

Answer 4

there are tutorials inside the program. there is autocad for dummies books. there are courses in junior colleges all over the country. there are websites that help you too.

Answer 5

autocad is a software that you have to take a course for, and practice on practical problems. it is very easy to use though, and a small professional course would do.
