The main objective of this course is to teach students to master the basic tools and commands necessary for the creation of professional 2D drawings, by learning the essential functions of the software.

  • After the training, the student should be able to:
  • Navigate the user interface independently;
  • Use the fundamental functions of the software;
  • Use precision drawing tools to create plans;
  • Modify and import pre-existing elements; – Present projects with detailed layouts; – Prepare documents for printing.

PREREQUISITES:

  • Good command of the Windows environment and technical drawing is an asset, but it is not necessary to have knowledge of CAD beforehand.

PEDAGOGY:

  • Theoretical contributions with course support supported by numerous practical exercises and an assessment of prior learning at the end of the training.
  • This course is suitable for all disciplines including, architecture, interior design, planning, electricity, industrial or mechanical design.
  • It is not planned within the framework of this training to extend on the techniques of 3D, lighting, and cameras, however, an approach will be considered if the time allows it and if the students wish it.
