Course Overview
Continuation of BLDG 1405. This course focuses on the tasks associated with the production of architectural construction drawings. Using AutoCAD, and expanding on the skills learned in BLDG 1405, students will gain more hands-on experience with how projects are organised and produced in a professional environment. Topics include blocks, xrefs, paperspace, annotative scale, and more complex editing functions. Proper management and procedures for drawing set-up, information management, and techniques will be emphasised to allow students to perform at a competent entry-level CAD draftsperson.
