<p>Do anyone know how hard an autocad class would be? It is an intro to to the basics, but I have zero knowledge of anything regarding this class.</p>
<p>‘an intro to the basics’</p>
<p>Sounds fairly easy.</p>
<p>I self-taught myself Cad in 9th grade and got fairly good at some simpler stuff but haven’t used it since, if you find it interesting it will be super simple.</p>
<p>AutoCad is easy, the amount you learn is just dependent on how motivated/interested you are and how good your instructor is. The instructor may go too slowly and you may never get to use all the features. It’s pretty easy to just play around and learn the program once you’ve started, though.</p>
<p>AutoCad is not exactly a simple course. But it should not be hard at all. If you pay attention in class, even a bit, you should start to know the basics. Play around with it, I think you’d learn much that way.</p>
<p>I’m actually just finishing up Autocad as i took it during the summer semester. It is a fairly easy class, but it really depends on the instructor. My instructor believed in a hands on approach so 90% of the time was drawing and the other 10% we were in a classroom. I feel like I learned a lot that way. So the best way to learn is play around with it yourself as much as you can.</p>

<p>Pretty simple. You just have to play around for a bit until you learn the basics and what the buttons do. It seems difficult at first, but after a while it becomes a breeze.</p>
<p>I taught myself AutoCAD back in the early 90s. I was an engineer at a company that was light on work, and they said I could occupy my time by learning it. I liked it so much that I do more AutoCAD work than engineering design now. It’s kind of like learning a language - it doesn’t take too long to learn the basics, but it can take several years to become proficient at it. Sometimes it feels like playing a computer or video game - once you figure out how to do a particular task, it’s easy, but it’s finding the “secret” that can be challenging.</p>
<p>Take lots of notes and practice as much as you can.</p>
<p>After that, try taking a class in Revit, a BIM (building information modeling) program. Ha, just joking. That’s a nightmare to learn.</p>
<p>Not as hard as I am when I use it.</p>

<p>It depends on the person.
I had to learn it for a class in high school. Some were never quite able to grasp it. Others, like myself, mastered the basics within a few days.</p>
