PL. NOTE
A few students must
have taken AutoCAD 2D
course, in which only 3D
will not be taught
obviously. So, please
ignore any questions
related to 3D.

Anyway, majority of the

questions are on 2D
only, as it is the basic
and fundamental one in
AutoCAD.

There is no hard and fast

rule that all the staff has

knowledge in all the

questions. They will try their

best to clarify your queries.

These FAQ’s are value

addition to our course

curriculum and are dealt as

bonus to our students.
