1. Master Keyboard Shortcuts
Using shortcuts in AutoCAD can save you hours of work. For example, use LINE (L) for lines, OFFSET (O) to create parallel copies, and TRIM (TR) to clean up drawings quickly.
2. Use Layers Effectively
Organize your designs by assigning different objects to different layers. It helps control visibility, color, and line weight — essential for professional drafting.
3. Learn Object Snaps (OSNAP)
OSNAP ensures precision by allowing you to snap to exact points such as endpoints, midpoints, or centers. Activate it via F3 for faster, more accurate work.
4. Practice Drawing Templates
Create custom templates (.dwt files) for projects with predefined layers, dimension styles, and text styles. This standardizes your work and saves time on setup.
5. Keep Practicing with Real Projects
The best way to master AutoCAD is through practice. Work on real-world assignments — floor plans, machine components, or 3D layouts — to strengthen your skills.
💡 “Practice daily, and soon AutoCAD will feel like an extension of your hand.”
