AutoCAD for Mechanical Engineers Day 1: Unit Setup, Line Types, Line Scale & Basic Modifications

In Day 1 of the AutoCAD for Mechanical Engineers course, we begin with the essential setup and fundamental tools needed for technical drafting. Mastering these basics will help you create accurate and well-structured mechanical drawings.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this session:

✅ Unit Setup:

• Configuring the right measurement units for mechanical drawings.
• Understanding decimal, fractional, and engineering units.

✅ Line, Line Types & Line Scale:

• Drawing and modifying different types of lines (continuous, dashed, center, etc.).
• Adjusting line types and scaling them for clarity.

✅ Colors & Layers:

• Using colors to differentiate components.
• Introduction to layers for better drawing management.

✅ Basic Modifications:
