Program Description
Our program covers AutoCAD basics. We then move up to higher level skills that lead to professional enrichment and a well-rounded AutoCAD technical skill set.
The courses take you from 2-dimensional drawings to 3-dimensional drawings, from basic settings to advanced set-up and tool use. Introductory 3D design courses provide instruction in both SolidWorks and Rhino software. In-depth classes on these software systems are also available (DFTG-2011).
