IN-DEPTH ROADMAP

A curriculum built around real engineering

MODULE 01

CAD Basics, Commands & Standard Electrical Symbols

2 Weeks

Master AutoCAD navigation, drafting commands, layer architecture, and standard IEC/IEEE electrical symbol blocks.

What You Will Learn

  • AutoCAD basics: interface, command line navigation, coordinate systems, zoom, pan, and drawing limits
  • Core drawing tools: lines, circles, rectangles, polylines, trim, extend, copy, mirror, and offset
  • Layer creation and properties: standard power layers, control layers, text/annotation layers, and line types
  • Standard electrical symbols: switches, relays, contactors, motors, transformers, and circuit breakers
  • Creating reusable electrical symbol blocks with dynamic attributes and connection points
  • Text annotation, leader lines, dimensions, and drawing title block creation
  • Mini practice: drafting a simple lighting and building power distribution circuit diagram
Hands-on Lab Deliverable

Construct an enterprise electrical symbol block library with dynamic attributes conforming to IEC 60617 standards.
