Catalog Description
Introduction to engineering drawing; drafting as a language, drafting environment, board drafting, Computer
Aided Drawing and Design. Geometrical Constructions; two- dimensional drawing, sketching for creating solid
models, drawing and editing commands in AutoCAD environment, 2D and 3D tools of AutoCAD. Orthographic
projection; 1st and 3rd angle projection, Principal views, Basic Dimensioning, size tolerances, Introduction to
solid modelling in Autodesk Inventor, creating solid model of structures in Autodesk Inventor environment.
Creating orthographic views from a solid model in AutoCAD, in Inventor, Introduction to BIM in Autodesk Revit.
Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:
(1) Draw two-dimensional sketches, views in CAD environment (particularly in AutoCAD)
(2) Draw the orthographic views of an object in CAD environment (particularly in Autodesk AutoCAD environment).
(3) Draw plan and elevation views of a building in AutoCAD environment
(4) Create solid models of objects; objects in basic shapes, custom built components, building models etc. using the
tools of AutoCAD
(5) Create the solid model of structures in Autodesk Inventor environment
(6) Create the 1st and 3rd quadrant orthographic views of an object from the solid model (particularly in Autodesk
AutoCAD and Inventor environments).
(7) Dimension views, show some annotations, provide the size tolerance of functional features, and general
tolerances
(8) Read the given orthographic views; i.e. visualize the 3- Dimensional model of the object shown to its
orthographic views and create its CAD model.
(9) Explain and interpret the dimensions and the associated tolerances, some annotations
(10) Create the solid model of a building, plan, elevation, sectional and detail views in Autodesk Revit environment
