Here’s a focused study plan for learning 2D modeling in AutoCAD over 4 weeks.
This plan will help you master the essential skills needed for creating and editing 2D
designs.
Week 1: AutoCAD Basics and Drawing Tools
Objective: Learn the foundational tools to create simple 2D shapes and navigate the
interface.
Day 1: Setting Up and Exploring AutoCAD
1. Install and set up AutoCAD.
2. Explore the interface: Ribbon, Toolbars, Command Line, and Workspace.
3. Learn navigation tools: ZOOM, PAN, and workspace switching.
Day 2: Basic Drawing Commands
1. Practice LINE (L), CIRCLE (C), RECTANGLE (REC), and ARC (A).
2. Learn to use UNDO (U) and REDO commands effectively
Day 3:Modifying Commands
1. Use tools like MOVE (M), COPY (CO), ROTATE (RO), and SCALE (SC).
2. Practice using the TRIM (TR) and EXTEND (EX) commands.
Day 4: Object Snaps and Grids
1. Learn how to use OSNAP (Object Snap) for precise drawing.
2. Understand the importance of GRID and SNAP MODE for alignment.
Day 5–6: Practice Basic Shapes
1. Create simple designs like a house layout or mechanical part using lines, circles, and
arcs.
Day 7: Review and Mini Project
1. Create a basic 2D sketch combining shapes and modifying tools (e.g., a table top
view).
Week 2: Precision Drawing and Layers
Objective: Develop precision in drafting and understand layer management.
Day 8: Using Coordinates
1. Learn Cartesian and Polar coordinate systems.
2. Practice absolute, relative, and polar coordinates.
Day 9: Advanced Drawing Tools
1. Use commands like POLYGON, ELLIPSE, and SPLINE.
2. Understand the OFFSET (O) and ARRAY commands.
Day 10: Layers and Properties
1. Learn to create and manage layers.
2. Set layer properties (color, line type, and thickness).
3. Practice turning layers on/off and freezing layers.
Day 11: Text and Annotations
1. Add single-line and multiline text using TEXT (T) and MTEXT.
2. Customize text styles.
Day 12–13: Dimensions and Measurement Tools
1. Learn to use DIMENSION (DIM) tools.
2. Add linear, aligned, angular, and radius dimensions.
3. Customize dimension styles.
Day 14: Practice Project
1. Create a 2D floor plan or a mechanical component with annotations and dimensions.
Week 3: Advanced 2D Features
Objective: Explore blocks, hatches, and external references.
Day 15: Blocks and Groups
1. Learn to create blocks with the BLOCK (B) command.
2. Understand block editing and inserting reusable components.
Day 16: Attributes in Blocks
1. Create blocks with attributes for dynamic data (e.g., room labels).
Day 17: Hatches and Gradients
1. Apply hatching using the HATCH (H) command.
2. Experiment with hatch patterns, colors, and gradients.
Day 18: External References (XREF)
1. Learn how to attach and manage external references for collaborative work.
Day 19-20: Advanced Practice
1. Design a detailed 2D floor plan or industrial part with layers, blocks, and hatches.
Week 4: Output and Advanced Techniques
Objective: Master layouts, plotting, and finalizing projects.
Day 21: Layouts and Viewports
1. Learn to set up layouts for printing.
2. Create viewports and scale drawings appropriately.
Day 22: Plotting and Printing
1. Set up plot styles and print 2D designs.
2. Learn to export designs as PDF.
Day 23: Advanced Commands
1. Explore lesser-used tools like MATCHPROP, DIVIDE, and MEASURE.
2. Use FILLET and CHAMFER for smooth edges.
Day 24–25: Final Project
1. Design a complete 2D project such as:
1. A building floor plan.
2. A detailed mechanical part.
3. An electrical circuit diagram.
Day 26–27: Review and Troubleshooting
1. Refine your skills by revisiting complex tools.
2. Solve common issues and optimize your workflow.
Day 28: Wrap-Up
1. Review all topics and organize your practice files for future reference.
2. Plan to continue with advanced projects or industry-specific skills.
