Technical Class Update | Level 1 AutoCAD – Foundation Module
Level 1 AutoCAD Foundation Module for Interior Design students, focusing on building essential digital drafting skills.
1. Introduction to AutoCAD
Students were introduced to the AutoCAD interface and workspace environment, including:
* Workspace overview
* Toolbars, command line, and navigation bar
* Units, limits, and basic settings setup
The session emphasized the transition from hand sketching to CAD drafting, highlighting the importance of accuracy, precision, and professional standards in interior design documentation. Students practiced converting simple hand sketches into accurate CAD line drawings.
2. Basic Drawing Tools & Core Commands
Students developed practical skills using fundamental commands such as:
* Line, Polyline, Rectangle, Circle, and Arc
* Move, Copy, Rotate, Scale, and Mirror
* Developing Drafting Accuracy
Special focus was given to improving technical precision through:
* Grid system
* Ortho mode
* Object Snap (OSNAP)
* Polar Tracking
This module strengthens students’ ability to produce accurate, professional drawings and lays the foundation for advanced CAD applications in interior design projects.
