In this Autocad Mac tutorial, I will show you how to draw a floor plan in from scratch.
Complete tutorial for beginners - the only video you need to watch to learn the perfect workflow of Autocad - this course is designed as a reference guide and timestamped to make your life easy!
This tutorial is made in Autocad 2021 Mac (the LT version) however, all the concepts & commands work in Autocad For Windows & in the full Autocad version.
I will show you how to create a detailed floor plan with walls, doors, windows, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. I am including download links for the majority of the resources I am using in this video which can be found below.
I will use blocks from Autocad library, and my own created blocks, I will assign layers to all the elements I create, and I will show you how to print in Autocad from layout, insert a titleblock, and export to a Pdf document.
