Questions from a CAD design beginner
Thread Content
I know there are many skilled users on Haichuan; there are countless experts there. I also want to become an expert in a certain field on Haichuan. I want to start with design, but I’m completely confused about it. I want to become a design expert – where should I begin? How can I quickly become one? Please share your CAD design experiences so that we can learn from each other. I hope the experts can give me some advice. :loveliness: :D
Well, start with the basics then – download some video materials from the internet or buy a book. Make sure to do as much hands-on practice as possible; what seems simple in theory can turn out to be less so when you actually try it. If you have any questions, come to the forum for advice – it’s sure to help you improve a lot.
For posts of this kind that are too broad and leave no clear starting point, I usually remain silent.
Here’s a suggestion: go work as a helper at a design firm. It’s best to work at a school’s design institute where you know people, or you can also go to a specialized design institute if you want to test your skills
For those who are just starting out, it’s recommended to use existing images as a guide and try to draw by looking at them. Of course, it’s still necessary to first learn the basic commands by reading relevant materials, and then gradually draw conclusions from practice. I believe that hard work pays off, and you will definitely be able to become an expert (though the process can be a bit tedious, so be prepared for that)
Buy a book first and watch some videos online; the most important thing is to practice a lot – watch others draw and draw yourself more often to become proficient.
In the future, I need to study seriously*. For problems like this, I think it’s better to learn on my own first, and ask questions only when I truly have the necessary skills.
I’m a beginner; I’ve also bought books. The method that seems most useful to me is to look at drawings more often and ask for advice frequently:victory:
I was a beginner once too, and I found that the simplest and most practical approach was to study the drawings carefully and seek advice from others. The most important thing is to practice a lot – by drawing more, one becomes more skilled. Mastering software is only the foundation; if you really want to become an expert in CAD, you need to invest time in areas beyond CAD and learn knowledge from other fields as well.
CAD design covers such a wide range – there has to be a specific goal. Where should we start?
BUY THE BOOK, OR GO TO SEE THE TEACHING FILM.
I think it’s best to first practice each command personally following the instructions in the book. After that, find a standard for legends, draw the legends first, and then use existing paper maps to learn how to draw by yourself; the more you practice, the more skilled you will become.
As many people say, one can start by copying others’ drawings and then work on improving their own speed; it’s always good to observe more and learn more!!
Hehe, back in school I used CAD for my graduation project, but my use of it was quite superficial; now that I’m working, I no longer need it. I really wish I had time to learn it properly. The suggestion from the person downstairs is also good
This has to be done step by step; you can’t become an expert overnight. I think first you can find a CAD textbook and learn each command (it’s quite simple). Then, find some diagrams to use as references while drawing
First, it is necessary to stop those who are overambitious but lack the necessary skills”
