The use of scales, line weight, dimension techniques and drafting standards will be applied to all drawings created manually or in AutoCAD. In addition, descriptive geometry construction techniques and nomenclature will be applied to both AutoCAD and technical sketching. Applied descriptive geometry using point, line and plane method will be applied to geometry problems in survey and mechanical areas.  Students cannot receive credit for both (CADD 106 & CADD 171) and CADD 111.
