About this course
Every machined part, fabricated frame and sheet-metal enclosure starts life as a drawing. This programme teaches AutoCAD the way it is used on real shop floors: precise geometry, clean layer standards, correct projection and annotation that leaves no room for interpretation.
You will learn to read and produce engineering drawings to ISO and BIS (SP-46) conventions — orthographic and sectional views, dimensioning with limits and fits, GD&T feature control frames, surface finish and welding symbols — and output them as plotted sheets and DXF files ready for laser, plasma or CNC programming.
What you'll be able to do
Draft with precisionUse coordinates, object snaps and tracking to draw to exact sizes, every time.
Follow drawing standardsApply ISO/BIS layer, linetype, dimensioning and projection conventions.
Communicate tolerancesSpecify limits, fits and GD&T so parts assemble as intended.
Deliver complete sheetsLay out title blocks, BOMs and multiple scales, and plot to PDF/DXF.
Who it's for

Frequently asked questions
We train on a recent AutoCAD release. The core workflows — drafting, layers, blocks, annotation and plotting — carry over to older and newer versions.
Yes. 2D drawing literacy is expected in almost every mechanical role, and many fabrication shops still exchange DWG/DXF files for cutting and quoting.
Yes — live classes with a real trainer, not recordings. You'll need a computer that can run the software, decent internet, and a headset or speakers with a mic so you can ask questions.
Yes. Our placement team helps every eligible student — 100% placement assistance. That means resume and portfolio reviews, mock tests and interviews, and introductions to companies that are hiring.
