Answer 1

you must appreciate Jr for his straight talking and I fully agree with him.

My own principle :Nobody can be master even at last stage man keeps learning.



You may know how to handle ACAD in 2-3 weeks but you can not be master of it. We are reading the dwgs and find that most of them are useless for us to get the things working. Mostly getting rejected by consultants.

I have done it both ways. I have taken AutoCAD in college many years ago, and currently, I am enrolled in a home study course to update my AutoCAD skills. You will need to learn 2D (two dimensional) and 3D (three dimensional) AutoCAD. A good college program will take about 2 years to complete because of additional related courses. Upon completion, you will be awarded a certificate or associate degree. Or you can enroll in a home study course that will take you about 10 months to learn since you will only take the 2D and 3D AutoCAD courses. Enrolling in an AutoCAD home study requires self-discipline. Some people can't deal with that. Home study will be more difficult if you are working a job at the same time. When you have a question, you can email your instructor. My instructor responded within 24 hours. But you still have to wait. Click on the source link I posted below for the home study program I am enrolled in. I had to update my computer to handle the 3D portion of the AutoCAD memory hungry program. Plus I had to purchase AutoCAD for my home computer. The full version of AutoCAD costs over $3000. But as a student, you should be able to purchase a student version for less than $300 through your home study school. Enrolling in an AutoCAD college program is probably recommended for the first timer. Your questions are answered instantly and you have access to fast computers and full-size plotters. You don't have to purchase the program since you will be using school computers with the software installed.

Answer 5

i learned it in like 2 to 3 weeks by myself. The best way to do it is to print out the list of commands. You only need to know like 20 to 30 commands and they are very common. Then get something to draw. Usually house blueprints or something you normally draw as a drafter.



It just takes practice or experience and you'll get it.



Edit: I've actually drawn the tracks of a tank for work.

You can learn the BASICS of ACAD in a few days, but ACAD is designed by engineers FOR engineers!

Without as solid formation as an Engineer, Draftsman, Architect, Civil Engineer and/or similar, ACAD is just a toy.

ACAD is probably the most powerful Engineering tool on the market, but it will NOT make you an engineer. It took a good 7 years full time tuition to become an engineer.

The drawings made by "non-engineers" are totally useless in real life, and cannot be used to "make" things: too many errors!

Think of it this way:

You can design a house (easy). But HOW are you going to calculate the depth of the foundations? That, ACAD cannot tell you.

You can design the track of a tank: pretty! But how are you going to give the workshop the detailed drawings to MAKE the parts of the tracks? The worker needs something he can work from! You can "design" the track, but can the worker MAKE it?

I can design parts in ACAD tha cannot be manufactured, or even exist in real life...

(think of a cube of steel - one piece - with a spherical hole in the middle! You can DRAW it, but you can't MAKE it!)

I am an Engineer, and I work with ACAD since the mid sixties, where it came to the market (in DOS :-)! ) It took me a while to master it.

I now have the lastest version.

I am still learning it...
