May 2025: AutoCAD Floor Plan

Task (Problem)

As the year started to come to a close, Mr. Bradley introduced us to yet another software that has proven itself essential in the engineering community today.  It was AutoCAD by Autodesk, a (primarily) 2D CAD software, which could be used for almost any technical drawing; that is to say, AutoCAD is pretty universal.  Noting that this software is very old compared to other CAD software, Mr. Bradley then explained how there were a lot of keyboard shortcuts, and then demonstrated some of the most common ones, such as typing "L" and then pressing enter would enable you to draw a straight line, and typing "off" and then pressing enter would enable you to create an "offset line" from a line that was previously defined.
