| Short description: | The course provides fundamental knowledge and skills required to effective use of the Autocad software in design process. |
| Full description: | The criteria for selecting CAD software. User Interface. Communication with the program. File management. Drawing Space. Prototype drawing. Polar, spherical and cylindrical coordinates. Precise drawing. Relative and absolute coordinates. Drawing objects. Working with layers. Basic editing operations. Undo operations. Zooming, panning. Drawing helpers: grid, snap, polar tracking, snap to objects. Text. Hatch. Blocks. Create and insert blocks. Attributes blocks. External links. Dimensioning. Dimension styles. Working with bitmap files. The global coordinate system (WCS). Local coordinate systems (UCS). Modifying the UCS. The design plane. Views. Viewports. Viewing a drawing in space. Regions. Operations on regions. Three-dimensional (3D) modelling. Flat objects in 3D space. Wire, walls, and solid models. Predefined 3D objects - surfaces and solids. Modification of 3D objects.

| Learning outcomes: | Knowledge Student knows the concepts, commands, drawing tools and methods necessary to create technical documentation for two-dimensional drawing (2D), consistent with the principles of engineering drawing standards for construction industry. Student is conscious of possible usage of the software in solving of graphically defined engineering problems. Skills Student is able to exchange project information as drawing files between members of the workgroup. Student is able to implement the software to solve graphically defined engineering problems. Student can create 2D drawings containing all the required elements (descriptions, dimensions, tables, etc.) in accordance with the principles set out in appropriate standards. Social competences Based on the acquired knowledge of the methods and tools of AutoCAD student is competent and a full member of a project team. |
