AutoCAD Civil Tutorials by JP

Hello, I am Prasad Joshi, Assistant Professor in JSPM’s RSCOE, Pune, India.

I have designed the course in such a way that anyone can learn all the basic things of AutoCAD software. In the upcoming course I will upload few more detailed videos with some practice session.

In this course I have covered Introduction, Basic settings, Draw Tools, Modify tools, Important shortcuts and Isometric drawing.

AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application. Developed and marketed by Autodesk. AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers.Before AutoCAD was introduced, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate graphics terminal. AutoCAD is also available as mobile and web apps.

AutoCAD is used in industry, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, city planners and other professionals. It was supported by 750 training centers worldwide in 1994.

AutoCAD is licensed, for free, to students, educators, and educational institutions, with a 12-month renewable license available. Licenses acquired before March 25, 2020 were a 36-month license, with its last renovation on March 24, 2020.The student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full commercial version, with one exception: DWG files created or edited by a student version have an internal bit-flag set (the “educational flag”). When such a DWG file is printed by any version of AutoCAD (commercial or student) older than AutoCAD 2014 SP1 or AutoCAD 2019 and newer, the output includes a plot stamp/banner on all four sides. Objects created in the Student Version cannot be used for commercial use. Student Version objects “infect” a commercial version DWG file if they are imported in versions older than AutoCAD 2015 or newer than AutoCAD 2018.
