1. Enter a technical or vocational degree program of applied science in computer-aided design and drafting. The courses required for this degree will help you learn everything you need to know about CAD drafting. Private training school and government institution varies each their offers and curriculum. Check first their reputation and services. Make sure they are licensed and authorized partner from a software company.

2. Pursue a Bachelor's degree where CAD drafting is on their course program. This will build on courses such as mechanical drafting, architectural design and 3D modelling, or you can choose to take courses that support the type of CAD drafting you want to pursue, such as AutoCAD.

3. Supplement your coursework or keep your skills fresh by reading CAD drafting educational books. Wiley Autodesk Official Press, and Amazon offers a list of some CAD drafting books that you can use to learn more about this career field. As you progress in your career, the basic software programs and techniques will change, so supplemental reading can help you keep your skills up to date.

4. Read articles about the field of CAD drafting. This will also help you stay current with changing technology.  A lot of resources have come out when mobile tablet and smart phone have emerged. For example, blog of Lyn Allen, a columnist and worldwide Autodesk Technical Evangelist, speaks to more than 30,000 users each year. CADTutor is a site primarily about a computer drafting application, known as AutoCAD. The aim of the site is to help beginners learn how to use AutoCAD and also to help experienced users become even more efficient. +Autodesk has everything you need to bring your career to life. And they have all the help you need to guide you along the way from trial download/s, product support and social media sites. Discover their trial resources.

5. Last, some thoughts and insights. Practice makes perfect as old saying. You will get better with a lot of practice. Learn it what have you learned. If you have money, invest the machine and download the trial software. If you have been planning already to enroll, don’t stop there after you get your certificate or diploma. Find a mentor, join the discussion groups , blog feeds, email newsletter and follow their social network or become an expert- its’ free to join.

Happy CAD-ding!

Why Missing or Hidden: It is like hide and seek sometimes you are not aware you did it or surprisingly you don't.  Unless there is a plugin that pop-ups in you Revit someone who hides your modelled element. 1. Properties--> Under Structural--> Checked out or ticked the "STRUCTURAL". It depends on the discipline you are working on in the model. This happens when the 3D model element is showing but the plan and section are missing. 2. Look or Hit the Visibility Graphics? Under model categories, Annotation Categories, and Filter. It's all there for you to check and find out. For example, steel won't show a stick symbol. Check the visibility graphics, next model categories, look at the structural framing under that tick the stick symbol. 3. Reveal or un-Hide HIDDEN ELEMENTS. It's a blue bulb icon. Under the view control bar and reveals the elements you froze before. 4. Deleted or Purged. The only way you to chase the missing element is to look ...

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer. The only way to answer this question is by giving different options for the user to Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only. Let’s see some of them below. Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can ...
