- [Jim] Hi, I'm Jim LaPier, welcome to learning AutoCAD for Mac. This course will go over all of the basic features and techniques for AutoCAD for Mac so you can hit the ground running. We'll begin by exploring the interface components and then look at some file management techniques. We'll move on to creating geometry and then modifying that geometry to suit your needs. We'll explore the layering system, create some layouts to leverage our geometry, add dimensions and annotations and eventually plot our drawings. Finally, we'll run through some of the basics of 3D in AutoCAD for Mac. Whether you're a seasoned AutoCAD user looking at switching or a novelist drafter looking for drafting software, this course should have you up and running with AutoCAD for Mac in just a few short hours. So let's get started.
