Go beyond the basics and learn to use AutoCAD 2025 competently for precise 2D and 3D designs in any industry.

This course is your practical guide to using AutoCAD 2025 like a pro. Instructor Shaun Bryant moves past the basics, showing you how to manage units, draw and modify objects, and use advanced features like attributes, tables, and external references. It’s built for real-world application in architecture, engineering, or manufacturing.

🎯 What you’ll learn

  • Navigate the AutoCAD 2025 interface efficiently using the ribbon, workspaces, and command line.
  • Create and modify precise 2D geometry using drawing and editing tools.
  • Apply accurate dimensioning, annotation, and hatching to your designs.
  • Manage layers, blocks, attributes, and external references (XREFs) for complex projects.
  • Set up layouts, viewports, and plot your drawings for professional output.

βœ… Requirements

  • Skills: Basic understanding of AutoCAD or completion of a fundamentals course.
  • Tools: A 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel is recommended for efficient navigation.
  • Hardware: A computer capable of running AutoCAD 2025.

πŸ“ Description

This isn’t just a list of commands. Shaun Bryant walks you through a logical workflow, starting with setting up your drawing environment correctly. You’ll learn why you choose one tool over another, not just how to click the button. The course is packed with practical exercises that mirror real drafting tasks, from creating simple floor plans to managing complex external references (XREFs).

The teaching style is direct and no-nonsense. Each video is short and focused, tackling a single concept so you can easily find and revisit specific topics. You’ll get comfortable with the AutoCAD 2025 interface, master the command line, and learn to use Dynamic Input to speed up your workflow. By the end, you’ll be able to produce professional, annotated drawings ready for plotting and sharing with clients or colleagues.
