Immerse yourself in the world of precision design with our comprehensive AutoCAD Mechanical Training. Crafted meticulously, this course serves as a roadmap to navigating and leveraging the potential of the AutoCAD Mechanical 2020 interface. From understanding layers and object properties to the creation of vital geometry, learners will experience firsthand the magic of AutoCAD's tools and functionalities.

Delve deep into the world of mechanical design as you explore techniques like manipulating geometry, inserting parts via part generators, and creating detailed drawing sheets. Learn to annotate parts, place dimensions with accuracy, and generate essential documentation such as bill of materials and parts lists. The course also highlights the importance of design factor calculations and the efficient reuse of existing drawing data. By its conclusion, participants will not only be familiar with AutoCAD Mechanical's features but also be equipped to craft a standard template for streamlined future projects.
