You can install any of the latest versions.

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):

You can visit the link to learn about the difference between AutoCAD and SketchUp in detail:

Yes, AutoCAD is very useful for electrical engineers in designing circuits diagrams house wirings, etc.

Only AutoCAD and 3DS Max will be discussed in this course. SketchUp is not a part of this course.

You will have to start the downloading process again from the start, this time make sure you remain connected to the internet throughout the downloading and installation.
