      4. History of AutoCAD

      AutoCAD was derived from a program begun in 1977 and released in 1979 called Interact CAD, also referred to in early Autodesk document documents as Micro CAD, which was written prior to Autodesk’s. The first version by the Autodesk Company was demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and released that December.

      7. Advantages of AutoCAD

      AutoCAD enhances the productivity and quality of designs. Drawings get prepared in relatively short duration. Reduced the manpower requirement.

      8. Advantages of AutoCAD

      AutoCAD software is cost effective and highly affordable. Designs can be drawn with greater accuracy. Facilitates easy modification and revision of drawings. Ability to share the CAD file with other software programs.

      8. Limitations

      AutoCAD software programs require learning commands and using them together efficiently. Producing architectural size drawings require a plotter or plotting services. AutoCAD file may get corrupted due to virus or software bugs.

            Autodesk has the policy to keep the latest versions for the student account. This course was recorded in the earlier Batch and AutoCAD 2016 version was installed for beginners because of its interface that is easy to understand and work with.

            Now, if you download any latest version that is available on Autodesk, then it is not necessary to switch towards the 2016 version. As the latest version has advanced features than the earlier one. The interface is almost the same.

            Before installing any latest version, kindly check your system’s requirement (either this latest version is compatible with your system or not) by visiting this link:

            Kindly check the specifications first and make sure to turn off the system’s Firewall before starting the installation.

            The link to download AutoCAD is here. Kindly make sure to sign up first and download it (as discussed by the instructor in Video topic 2 & 3):

                AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application. 
                It is used in industry, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, city planners and other professionals.
                We can make 2D as well as 3D drawings of houses, wiring, interior design and many more like this by using this software. 
                The native file format of AutoCAD is .dwg.

                    You can download and install AutoCAD the same as the instructor performed in video lectures. There are a few steps to be followed for the installation of AutoCAD or any other software from Autodesk.

                    Firstly, you have to create a student account on Autodesk to get yourself registered as mentioned by the instructor in Video No. 2, then you will be allowed to download the version of AutoCAD and after that installation will start as mentioned by the instructor in Video No. 3

                    It is recommended to carefully watch the relevant videos and follow the steps accordingly.

                    The links for creating an account and downloading AutoCAD are available in the “internet links” tab on LMS. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

                    Login to lms.digiskills.pk
                    Click on “Course Website”
                    Click on “Internet Links” (available in the right corner)
                    Click on the relevant link (For creating an account & for downloading AutoCAD)
                    

                    For using LMS, visit this link:

                        AutoCAD is a comprehensive software used in multiple fields including Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and Architectural etc. It is cumbersome to deal with all fields at the same time that is why in this course only the Architectural dimension of AutoCAD will be covered. Because our course is oriented towards the free-lance market projects so, the architectural dimension of AutoCAD is more suitable and understandable for beginners.

                        This course is designed to help you learn the basics of AutoCAD. However, if you learn this skill of using AutoCAD then by the minimal effort you can explore yourself and learn the usage of AutoCAD in Electrical engineering.

                            AutoCAD is a 2D (Two-Dimensional) and 3D (Three-Dimensional) modeling and designing software. AutoCAD software is developed by Autodesk. The word CAD in AutoCAD stands for Computer-Aided Design and Drafting. The meaning of the term CAD is to draw with the help of a computer.

                            AutoCAD is a comprehensive software used in multidisciplinary fields. Architects and Urban planners use AutoCAD for designing housing schemes and building plans. Civil Engineers use AutoCAD for Foundation drawings. Mechanical Engineers use this software for designing mechanical equipment. Electrical Engineers use the software for designing Electrical wiring systems of the house(s), buildings, factories, etc. AutoCAD is also used by Interior Designers to design the interior of different buildings, offices, rooms, etc.

                                We will be discussing AutoCAD and 3DS Max in this course. AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software used to create 2D and 3D drawings, 3DS Max is designing software.

                                Both AutoCAD and Revit are products of Autodesk, both of these software are available for free of cost for students and educators. You can download these software from the Autodesk website after creating a student account. The process to create a student account and downloading software is discussed by the instructor in video lectures 2 and 3.

                                Firstly, we recommend you to take this course, then switch towards Revit. You can learn from an online platform that you find understandable. Secondly, we will put forward your request to cover Revit also.

                                    It seems like you are asking about the benefits of AutoCAD. Architects and Urban planners use AutoCAD for designing housing schemes and of building plans. Civil Engineers use AutoCAD for Foundation drawings. Mechanical Engineers use this software for designing mechanical equipment. Electrical Engineers use the software for designing Electrical wiring systems of the house(s), buildings, factories, etc. AutoCAD is also used by Interior Designers to design the interior of different buildings, offices, rooms, etc.
