About This Course

Up until the mid1970s all drafting was done manually. With tools such as pencils, pens, straightedges, T-squares, French curves, rulers, and so on. And before calculators and mobile phones we used slide rules to perform simple math. And let’s not forget drafting boards and tables that occupied entire rooms.

When computers came into their own, engineering drafting naturally moved into the digital space. This allowed engineers and drafts people to create more and more complex designs more quickly than ever before.

In this course Kristin teaches you how to master CAD allowing you to create and use your own plans to build your instruments. Follow along as he explains every step in detail. You will also enjoy the musical soundtrack that Kristin composed and recorded for each lesson in the course.

Learn about:

• The history of drafting engineering plans and how the craft progressed from simple to complex.
• The benefits and drawbacks of CAD
• Software options
