Architectural Drafter
An Architectural Drafter creates detailed technical drawings and plans used in the construction and renovation of buildings. Working closely with architects and engineers, they translate design concepts into precise blueprints using CAD software and drafting tools. They ensure drawings comply with building codes and standards, and produce floor plans, elevations, and structural details essential to construction projects.

Introduction to AutoCAD for Architecture
You will learn to set up the AutoCAD workspace, manage files with architectural templates, and draft precise 2D geometry using lines, arcs, and polylines. You will organize drawings with a professional layer system, create and insert reusable blocks, and apply dimensions, text, and annotation symbols to industry standards. The course covers paper space layouts, scaled viewports, and plot settings so your drawings output correctly every time. You will also complete a full architectural drawing set including floor plans, building sections, exterior elevations, and reflected ceiling plans. Supplementary content introduces 3D modeling, parametric constraints, BIM interoperability, and office automation tools.
