Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) - AutoCAD Design and Drafting
About This Course
Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) - AutoCAD Design and Drafting provides participants with comprehensive skills to create, modify, and manage advanced 2D and 3D drawings in AutoCAD. You will explore emerging design visualization standards and develop capabilities to lead AutoCAD art direction and sketching within an organization. Key areas of focus include creating and managing complex drawing objects such as polylines, splines, multilines, and isometric drawings.
This course also covers best practices for organizing and managing objects using layers, revising technical drawings, and integrating storytelling elements into your designs to engage stakeholders. You'll further develop annotative techniques, reusable content creation, and advanced printing methods. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to lead organizational standards in drawing and sketching while leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation in design.
