AutoCAD is a 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Autodesk. It's widely used in architecture, engineering, and construction to create detailed drawings and models. AutoCAD allows users to design, draft, and document projects with precision, offering features for 2D and 3D modeling, documentation, and automation

Helpful Hint when taking the exam: Go through all of the questions as quickly as you can but make sure you read the instructions fully before starting the question. Also flag any questions you don't know and go back to them later. By doing this I was able to finish with 20 minutes to spare, so I went back and reviewed the flagged questions and submitted them when I was done.

Create a Metric and Imperial Template file with Layers

Download the two documents in the window on the right.
Open the dwt file.
Click on the Layer Properties. When the window open, click on the "Layers States Management" icon and import the "JoeSchmoe Layers.las" file.
Type "units" in the command prompt and make sure millimeters is selected.
Save the file as "Last Name - Metric Template". Make sure to save it in your AutoCAD folder located on your desktop of the server.
Type "units" and make sure inches is selected.
Save the file as "Last Name - Imperial Template".

IMPORTANT NOTE!!! - When you are ready to draw something in AutoCAD, open a template based on the object you are drawing (is it in metric or imperial measurement). Once it opens, immediately save it as a drawing file (DWG) and rename it "Last Name - name of the object".

are you having issues with getting your Viewport Working on your Template?

Remember before you draw or create any object you must be able to present it on a template. Follow the steps below to create a Viewport layer in AutoCAD:

Open your template (Imperial or Metric)
This will open in Layout 1
Your Model Space is where you construct the object. What we want is the object to automatically appear in your template (Layout1).
Before you watch/read the link below, make sure you have a Viewport layer and that it is current.

So check this link out before you create any more objects.

Ch. 1 - Fundamentals

1. AutoCAD 2016 Tutorial- 2D Fundamentals - Ch. 1 AutoCAD Fundamentals

Instructions: Go through the introductory pages on the interface. Make sure to read through the steps on how to create the parts. Complete the Guide Plate and Spacer (Process Grade).

Finally, complete all of the exercises on the last pages (Product Grade): Angle Spacer, Base Plate, T-Clip, Channel Plate, Slider Block, Circular Spacer.

How to Post Your Work to Your ePortfolio

Construction Image - Show the viewer how you built the object. Only have the construction (green) and visible (red) lines showing. "Snip It" and save the image in your AutoCAD folder. Then upload to your ePort.

Template Image - Show a formal dimensioned drawing of the object. Hide the construction lines and turn all lines black. Make sure to add your name, title and date of the drawing. To create a PDF for the ePort, click "Print">Select Printer - "AutoCAD PDF High Quality Print.pc3">Click OK>Save in AutoCAD Folder on Desktop. Then upload to your Google Drive>AutoCAD folder then upload to ePort via Drive.

Ch. 2 - Basic Object Construction and Dynamic Input

2. AutoCAD 2016 Tutorial- 2D Fundamentals - Ch.2 Basic Object Construction and Dynamic Input.pdf

Instructions - Read the instructions and construct the Rocker Arm Design (process grade).

Then complete the Adjustable Support, V-Slide Plate, Swivel Base, Sensor Mount, Flat Hook, Journal Bracket and Support Base (product grade)

linkedin Learning - Working with Dimensions in Autocad

Directions - Listen to all of the videos and learn the topics listed to the side. Use this information to dimension future tutorials.

Download the exercise files and use them during the videos. You will be graded on these exercise files as well as the quizzes for each of the 6 chapters. When an exercise file is completed, change one of the dimensions in the drawing with your name. This will identify your files. Submit them to your ePort in a "carousel".

Also take each of the 6 quizzes and Submit the "Snip It" to Schoology along with the hyperlink mentioned above.

Be prepared to understand how to edit and use dimension tools.

For designs to be precisely built and manufactured, technical drawings need to show dimensions indicating measured lengths and angles, and in some cases geometric tolerances must be specified. In this AutoCAD training course, author Scott Onstott shows you how to create linear, aligned, angular, radial, diameter, continued, baseline, ordinate, and tolerance dimensions so you can precisely annotate any design. Plus, learn how to edit dimension styles, create sub-styles, temporarily override styles, control dimensional associativity, fine-tune dimension text, label features with multileaders, and much more.

Topics include:

Creating different styles of dimensions: linear, baseline, etc.
Editing dimension styles
Specifying tolerance
Re-associating dimensions
Editing dimensions text
Labeling with multileaders
