AutoCAD Tutoring & Training
Learn AutoCAD through structured, practical lessons designed to build real workflow skills. These training sessions cover everything from beginner fundamentals and drawing setup to dynamic blocks, parametrics and professional template creation.
The courses are delivered as focused lessons with clear learning outcomes and real project examples. Each session builds understanding rather than just teaching commands, helping you develop reliable CAD workflows you can use immediately.
AutoCAD Course Options
AutoCAD 2D - Zero to Hero
A practical course for complete beginners who want to learn AutoCAD properly from the start. The focus is on understanding how drawings work, not just memorising commands.
Topics include:
-
Interface and navigation
-
Understanding how AutoCAD works, command input, view control and workspace basics.
-
2D drawing fundamentals
-
Creating accurate geometry using lines, polylines, circles and other core tools.
-
Editing and modifying drawings
-
Move, copy, rotate, trim, offset and other essential modification tools.
-
Precision drawing tools
-
Using object snaps, tracking, ortho and coordinate input to draw accurately.
-
Layer organisation
-
Structuring drawings with layers to keep projects clean and manageable.
-
Blocks and reusable content
-
Creating and inserting blocks to speed up drafting.
-
Model space and paper space
-
Understanding layouts, viewports and plotting for professional output.
By the end of the course you will be able to create, organise and plot professional 2D drawings confidently.
Drawing Templates
Professional Setup Masterclass
This focused session teaches you how to build a reusable AutoCAD template that saves time and maintains drawing standards.
Topics include:
-
Understanding templates (DWT vs DWG)
-
How templates work and why they are essential for consistent drawings.
-
Layer systems and drawing standards
-
Creating a logical layer structure for projects and teams.
-
Text, dimension and leader styles
-
Building consistent annotation styles for professional drawings.
-
Drawing units and scale setup
-
Ensuring drawings behave correctly from the start.
-
Page setups and plotting
-
Configuring layouts and plot styles for reliable output.
-
Libraries and reusable content
-
Setting up block libraries and shared standards.
By the end of the session you will leave with a fully functional template ready to use on future projects.
Dynamic Blocks & Parametric Workflows
This course introduces dynamic blocks and parametric tools, allowing you to create intelligent blocks that adapt automatically.
Topics include:
-
Understanding parameters and actions
-
How grip points control behaviour inside dynamic blocks.
-
Core dynamic actions
-
Stretch, move, rotate, scale, flip and visibility states.
-
Controlling behaviour with properties
-
Using multipliers, offsets and selection sets to control movement.
-
Combining multiple actions
-
Driving several elements from a single parameter.
-
Parametric constraints
-
Using geometric and dimensional constraints to control shape and size.
-
Building flexible reusable blocks
-
Creating blocks that respond intelligently to design changes.
By the end of the session you will understand how to design dynamic blocks that automate repetitive drafting tasks.
