Snehal Thanekar : The whole series is very good. Every small things are explained in neat manner. Useful to boost confidence of beginer.Thank u so much sir!!
JM23 : This is seriously a huge help for getting back into AutoCAD. Thank you so much for this!
wut dat logic do? : This was actually extremely helpful. Was looking up Civil 3D tutorials but they kept stating to learn the basics of AutoCAD first. So here I am, and I feel this video was well-worth the time. Thank you!
Mohit Tanwar : While I often visit Youtube for references/ tutorial videos on many things but giving a review is a rare phenomenon for me. However, this video is extremely commendable. Hence, deserved a golden comment. I got up & running on Autocad within 2 hours even though I had never ever used Autocad before this. This is 50 times better than the tutorial video created by Auto-Desk itself under the academy section. NO, THIS IS NOT a paid comment :)... Outstanding Job!!!.... Super recommended Autocad beginners.

junior okombo : this is amazing. you're one in a million. I'm really learning a lot
Bliss Ben : I hardly write reviews but you deserve this one. Barely 20 mins into the tutorial and I am loving it. Super easy and very clear explanations. Thank you
abwbakr ismail : thank u very much! this is the most amazing tut for AutoCAD I have ever watched


I hope u can do more of this kind of full version of separated vid this is so helpful and would be very comfy for the ppl like me who hate short vid , and prefer the long and complete version for every series in this awesome Chanel

thank u again
Dei War : Just started learning AutoCAD last week. Your tutorial is great stuff. I reviewed the first 20 minutes twice and jumped in and did the 9 exercises. There were some tricky things which needed me to use my old math trigonometry and Pythagorean theorum to solve a few! I can now move forward to the next section to learn the mechanics of the program i.e. layers. P.S. I spotted an error with Exercise 8 circle radius and note saying ex.5b should be 6b. Overall I am pleased
King Arthur : Thank you very much! very helpful this clip and I'm only in part II. very good explanation and very useful "homework"
