ARC 114 - Introduction to CADCredits: 3 Instructional Contact Hours: 4
Introduces 2D and 3D CAD drawing, including basic drawing and editing commands. Studies CAD systems interface, hardware, a current operating system, file management techniques, creating templates, creating and modifying geometry, dimensions and text styles, block and external reference insertion, attributes and creating tables, model space/paper space layouts, rendering and plotting techniques. Credit may earned in only one of the following: ARC 114, CAD 114 , or SKCA 114 .
Prerequisite(s): CST 103 recommended or basic knowledge of the Windows Operating System. Corequisite(s): None Lecture Hours: 45 Lab Hours: 15 Meets MTA Requirement: None Pass/NoCredit: Yes
