Course Description

This course provide basic information in the electrical part and advanced lectures on AutoCAD 2D.

This course can be taken by students who already have AutoCAD Electrical 2015, 2016 or 2017.

At the end of this course, you will be able to draw maps for all facilities, make electrical wiring for each map, and design an electrical panel that controls all the electrical installments of a facility. Plus, you will be able to draw a 2D design from scratch.

This course is dedicated for absolute beginners in any AutoCAD software.

We will start with an introduction about AutoCAD and how to download it, then we will learn the basics of 2D drawings (including all the tools like lines, polylines, circles, offset, trim, fillet, chamfer, and more). And we will create advanced 2D shapes as exercises.

The second part of this course, is about electrical wiring, and panels.

AMAZING BEGINNER-LEVEL 2D AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL COURSE! I enjoyed the course content and the instructor explained the material very straightforward manner. I would recommend this course to Electrical Engineering students and professionals as well.

I have been drafting panel drawings for years using various packages. I am old enough to say I started drafting by hand.. I design electrical panels for the control industry an my company wants to use autoCAD Electrical 2021 so I am just familiarizing myself with the tools. I have already been using this for a month or so and have a purchased license so this course is just what I need. :)

Many thanks for producing this series of lectures on AutoCAD Electrical. It have given me a great overview of how to use this software and what it can do for producing electrical drawings.

Starts from the very beginning, which is often necessary for a lot of people. The pace is fairly quick, but it is easy to stop and review. Recommend using ACAD at the same time to do all the exercises.

By Ashutosh Kumar on 5/9/2018

It's a very informative course for a beginner. Greatly benefitted from it. One significant shortcoming I would like to mention as a feedback is that there is more emphasis given to Mechanical or Civil Drawings than on Electrical Drawings.

By Aashish Jariwala on 7/16/2017

The educational information in the second-to-last video seemed incomplete. Conclusion to every video would be good. When the video ends it feels as if the tutor was abruptly cut-off while delivering the presentation. The tutor made a mistake in the drawing but failed to explain the updated dimension in his speech but instead simply put a note advising the learner of the mistake that was made in the drawing. It feels incomplete and confusing at times.

He gave some good information, but spoke too fast even when playing at .75 speed. He showed how to use most of the features in AutoCAD Electrical, and it is definitely a tool I will be using in the future. Main thing is he spoke really fast and blew past somethings that he could have explained better.

By John Grandy on 5/28/2017

The course is great for beginners and people like me who have a moderate understanding of AutoCAD. I deducted one star for a couple reasons. First, I feel that the instructor explains things too fast and I was constantly pausing to hear again and try to catch up on my own AutoCAD sketches. It would be better if he could slow down a little and explain more about the commands he's selecting and why. Secondly, it's unfortunate that I only have access to the student version of AutoCAD Electrical. I had hoped that this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately there are some important features missing from the student version, such as inserting 'enclosures' in the electrical icons, so I was unable to follow along with many of the later lessons. It is still valuable to watch, but I was disappointed that I was unable to copy his instructions in the student version. Other than that, it's a good course with a lot of valuable information about AutoCAD.

This class is good for starting with AutoCAD electrical, it is a little focus on House Plans as mentioned in the description but it gives you a good idea of the potential of the features in AutoCAD Electrical. Recommended for a quick start or refresh.

By Gregory Ebert on 9/20/2016

Instructor jumped way too fast into the all the little features and settings of AutoCAD without any sort of overview or outline. He also is going quite fast, I slowed down playback but still end up jumping back in time a lot. Another issue is that many of the AutoCAD features he is using are at the bottom of the screen, which is covered up by the playback controls much of the time (since I need to jump back and repeat so much). I know that this is an AutoCAD course but there are some basic drafting issues with the examples. Also, a typographic error in a quiz question where one of the answers repeats the question. The course just feels like it was put together in a hurry. I have learned a lot, so it is worth the time, but it could be better.
