Draft Floor Plans, Elevations, Columns & Staircases in AutoCAD 2D – Civil Engineering & Architecture Focus
What you'll learn
- Master AutoCAD 2D tools and commands to create precise, professional civil engineering drawings from scratch using industry-standard drafting practices.
- Develop practical drafting skills through hands-on exercises including geometric shapes, columns, staircases, grids, and floor plans used in real projects.
- Understand layers, object modifications, dimensioning, annotations, and all key 2D drafting techniques essential for civil and structural design workflows.
- Apply your knowledge in a complete final project, reinforcing your ability to produce real-world 2D drawings for civil engineering and architectural design.
- Gain confidence in using AutoCAD for real civil engineering tasks, including drafting plans, sections, and construction details.
Requirements
- No prior experience with AutoCAD or drafting is needed — this course starts from the basics.
- A computer (Windows or Mac) with AutoCAD 2D installed (any recent version works best).
- Basic computer literacy: ability to use a mouse, keyboard, and manage files/folders.
- A willingness to learn, practice, and follow along with hands-on exercises and examples.
