I’m seeking a teacher to teach me CAD. I used to work in analysis, but my job has changed recently, and now I want to learn CAD. I would appreciate it if some experts could advise me on how to learn *more quickly. I am older, and my memory isn’t very good; are there any tips for learning?
Go through the tutorials and learn one command at a time; ask if you have any questions. Also: Changing careers can be quite painful.
I disagree with what was said above; “going through the tutorials and learning one command at a time” would be counterproductive. I think if there’s someone around who knows how to do it, one should just get started right away, learn while working, and ask colleagues for help when encountering problems – this will yield better results. If no one teaches you, it is recommended to attend a training course; it costs a little, but it allows you to achieve results more quickly.
CAD is meant to be used in practice, not memorized by rote; therefore, the most important thing is to use it frequently. I suggest you first go through the reference books and practice the basic tasks according to the methods and steps outlined in them – such as setting layers, fonts, dimension styles, units, etc. As for the specific operations like offsetting and cutting, you can learn them by using them in practice. This approach is much better than just reading books
It is recommended to first learn some basic functions, such as how to draw lines and circles, as well as how to copy, move, rotate, center, and align objects vertically; then learn while doing!
Thank you for your advice; I’m unable to give you a rating. Thank you again
