# AutoCAD Level II (Self-Paced)

Canonical URL: <https://www.nobledesktop.com/classes/self-paced-autocad-ii>

## Overview

This intermediate-level course builds on fundamental AutoCAD skills and guides students through the process of creating more advanced and technical design projects. Participants will learn to develop templates with defined layouts for printing by setting units, drawing limits, and using appropriate scales. The course also covers advanced layering and blocking techniques to improve organization, efficiency, and precision in drafting.

Note: This course is designed for PC users. In-person sessions are conducted on PC only. Mac users may attend online but should be aware that the Mac AutoCAD interface differs from the PC version, which is the primary focus of this course.
