OVERVIEW:

Join us on another learning session as part of our initiative to to equip educators, students, engineers and professionals on how to utilize CAD software for 2D drawings.

OBJECTIVE:

This webinar session will show you the techniques on how to draw and edit 2D drawings.

SUMMARY OF CONTENT:

PART 1

• Introduction to Workspace

- POLYLINE, RECTANGLE, CIRCLE, ARC

Other Modify Commands

- COPY (mode array)

- MOVE
