Thanks, explained well and helpful
I had a question, say I draw a square surface joining 4 lines which lies on the ZX plane i.e vertically. How do I fill in the square surface with a certain color? Using hatch I'm only able to solid fill regions on the UCS plane. I'm pretty new to this, hope u'd help out brother.
So it depends if you're doing 3D or 2D. What can be used in 3D is you can apply a material to the 3D surface, while making sure the visual style you're using in AutoCAD allows "Materials and Textures" to be displayed. For a 2D object, hatching a solid colour is the way to do what you described. One thing you can try is to type in "UCS" into the command bar and go into the plane that you want to fill in (example, instead of doing a "top" view you want "right" view) press enter once you type UCS and then you'll see a bar show up, press the down arrow key on your keyboard and a few options will show up. Use the arrow key to highlight "view" and then press enter. This will change the coordinate system so that it matches up with your work plane. When you do this you should be able to hatch. To switch back simply do the above, except instead of selecting "view" select "global" and press enter. This will bring you back to the normal grid positioning. Hope this helps!
@@VerweyDraftingInc thanks a lot brother. All of these worked out. I used both the materials method and UCS. Thanks again & good luck man!!!
Anytime, glad I could help!
Thanks for this video! I got no experience in CAD, but I was referred by a family member to a architecture place they work at. They are willing to train anyone for CAD, but I downloaded the free trial and recreated this so I can get some sort of feel on how this works. This isn't as scary or difficult as I thought it would be
Glad this helped! I will say, this is an extremely simplified floor plan just so you can get a feel for floor plan workflow. If you're going to be doing architecture, I'd recommend taking a look at AutoCAD Architecture. It's AutoCAD but has tools specific to architecture, and everything we did in this video can be done in under a minute as blocks, floors, walls, and even hatching is completed for you to some extent. We'll be posting more advanced work later on when we have the time!
I also downloaded yesterday and got to learn a lot from his video. thank you
@@MEGASTHENESINDIABIHAR-m3d Glad to help!
It's humbling to come back into CAD years later and not understand the basics anymore. Thank you for this course, it really helped! Question--I'm running into problems with my move function, (it's selecting objects but not allowing me to move them), is there a way to fix that? My layer is unlocked, but I'm unsure what else I can check.
Scratch that, your video answered my question (after some more investigation and replays)!
This is a great tutorial. But this is not for real beginners. Even before we head and understood one simple concept, you would have jumped to another topic.
The main purpose of this tutorial is to get as much information across as we can in under 10 minutes for people who have never used the program before. It is impossible to get a complete understanding of something in 10 minutes! This gives an overview of the functions you can expect to use in AutoCAD 3D. This wasn't meant to be a comprehensive tutorial on every line item, as that would take many hours! If more in depth and specific help is required, please check out our channel for more specific videos! Conversely, if we do not have a video on a topic you would like to see covered, please reach out and let us know what you'd like and we can add it to our queue!
looking forward to 2025
Absolutely!
Here's the questions from the webinar, feel free to respond! 1. How did you find out about this webinar? 2. Where are you in your journey? (e.g. Student studying civil engineering, year 3) 3. Do you plan on learning AutoCAD professionally?

how do you open the ribbon with all the tools? mine is not "open" also why cant I use feet and inches when creating a square of shape
To get the ribbon to show up type "RIBBON" in the command bar to turn on the ribbon. If you want to see all the tools its possible the ribbons are in a minimized state. To fix this find the ribbons (such as "home", "solid", "surface", etc) and go all the way to the end of these words. At the end you'll see a solid square (should be white if you're in dark mode) with a triangle/arrow pointing up/down and a dropdown menu right beside it. Click the arrow in the solid coloured box and it should change how your ribbons appear. Let me know if this helps!
Im not an Architect or Engineer I just find this fun and I want to learn it.
Glad to hear, and hope our tutorials help!
my acad2025 menus look different from yours... autodesk is always messing up the menus ...
Are you using the Mac or Windows version of AutoCAD?
@@VerweyDraftingInc i am using Win10
Thanks anyways for this course, watched some of your previous Autocad beginner tutorials and I really like your efficency, style and voice. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! We're glad our videos help you and thanks for your support!
I just downloaded autocad and the grid is not showing because I don't have Graphic card in it.....
If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the program, you'll see, beside the word "model" a miniature grid image. Click that and it should turn on. Alternatively, you can press F7 and the grid should toggle. Hope this helps!
Great work. Please make a video on creating a P&ID. Thanks.
Thank you! We'll take your suggestion into consideration, stay tuned for updates!

Due to this being from one of our actual courses, you will need to go to our website to access the 1 or 2 files if you want to follow along at 1 point during the video. We apologize for the inconvenience, but its just a more secure method to get this information to you! Thanks!
Are we using a scale when we're drawing in CAD?
For this video, we are not using a specific scale!
I TYPE 12' IN A RECTANGLE BOX BUT THE LENGHTH WAS TOO SMALL . I AM DAMN CONFUSED COULD YOU HELP ME PLEASE
The only issue I can think of is when you are typing in lengths and widths you need to put the ' or " sign in order to make sure AutoCAD knows what units you are talking about. If you don't use the foot or inches sign, depending on your settings, it will default to inches. Let me know if this helps; if not I'll see if I can trouble shoot it for you :)
@@VerweyDraftingInc same problem
@@cheskamariecayanan917 If units are set to feet/inches and you are creating a rectangle it should work. For feet press the ' key without holding shift, then for inches press the same key while holding shift ". If you're doing this correct, and you've double checked the lengths and they are good, then your scale may be off. Let me know when you measure what the measurements are. Thanks!
When making a new text dimension style I was unable to modify texty height. It was set to 1" and uneditable. Any Ideas? Thank you for the video.
This usually occurs when a text style you're using in the dimension style has a height assigned to it. To fix this, type in "Style" into the command line and change the text height of the standard style to 0. You can also change the text style used in the dimension style to one with a height of 0 assigned to it. Hope this helps!
thanks a lot
You're welcome!
BCONVERT is a huge update! wish I had this years ago. Often receive exploded drawings from clients, this is gonna save a lot of time.
Thank you fo rthe video, when trying to end the specific length number my curser doesn't pop up with the type bar menu where I can change the length, how can I fix that?
Press F12 on your keyboard to enable dynamic input. This should fix it!
Is it suitable for AutoCAD 2025?
Absolutely!
this is amazing, i didnt know autocad can make a really REALLY smooth model!! ive only done 3D on sketchup. nevertheless thanks for the tutorial
We're glad this helped! You're welcome!
Is this tutorial for Mac or windows. Please respond!
All our tutorials are done on Windows!
whenever i press tab my line doesnt look like yours and when i press enter my line disappears, im confused.
Press F12 on your keyboard to enable dynamic input. This should fix it
It's a pity Autodesk hadn't set leaders up so that the leader attachment to the multiline text could shift from left to right justified along with top and bottom centered.
They are very slow when adding smaller changes to the program.
Nice, watching in x2 speed. Thanks for this video.
Appreciate the comment, thanks!
I saw the system requirements in AUTOCAD site. That I would like to learn is some specific examples of minimum requirements for CPU and if we need and GPU. If a CPU with integrated gpu is enough (example AMD Ryzen 5 5600G) I would like some specific models of AMD or INTEL CPUs
You should be able to run AutoCAD on an integrated graphics card, but it depends on how new the CPU is. Older CPU's will struggle with newer programs. I'd recommend running an Intel I5 4th Generation MINIMUM but I would run a dedicated GPU with it. The more work you do, and the more complex the drawings, the more RAM, VRAM, and CPU Speed you will need. Unfortunately it is not in my area of expertise to provide CPU recommendations, however the AutoDESK website requirements are meant to be a guide for what can run the program and all its features without a lot of performance issues for day-to-day use. I will say you can get away with using older GPU's and CPU's but it depends how old, and how good those pieces of hardware are. You also need to think about how much RAM you have, as AutoCAD can use a lot of it. Hope this helps, and good luck!
@@VerweyDraftingInc Thank you. The drawings of my friend are not complex. The minimum CPU (price) I saw that he could use is Ryzen 5 - 5600G that has integrated graphics. I don't want Intel. Are more expensive. I will see new Amd CPU models with intergrades graphics in Ryzen 5 and 7 series.
@@vaiosan775 That CPU would work well with a Dedicated GPU. Don't know about how well it would work with the integrated graphics, but it should run!
I am sure that in the past i could go in to a viewport, select and object, then click scale to fit and the object would zoom into the largest size that it would fit in the viewport....now when i try this it zooms way out. I'm using AutoCad LT 2024. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? I do select multiple lines objects when i try this.
I also recall a time when you could do what you described (I could be wrong). However, it seems in newer versions of the program when using "Scale-To-Fit" AutoCAD will scale to fit ALL the objects in Model Space. Personally, I usually select a drawing scale and manually set it. Takes a bit of tweaking sometimes but it works 9.5 times out of 10. If you'd like a video detailing this more just say so and we can get one produced and out ASAP.
💕💕💕💕
great video it really helped me get the basics of using autocad software ❤❤❤❤
Glad it could help!
Very clear and to the point video. Thank you for keeping it short and hitting the bullet points of the new features. The smart block will be used some by us but the new hatch feature of creating your own border will be very helpful.
We do our best to keep the videos as concise as possible; we appreciate your feedback! The new hatch feature is definitely something that will be used on a regular basis; I'm amazed that it wasn't released until this year.
is it possible to open the version online to try orders and draw online without downloading the version?
If you want the full experience and the new features you'll have to download the program. AutoCAD Web is a very lightweight program compared to the full release and doesn't have a lot of the new features. I can say though, if you are interested, we are doing out best to get access to an AutoDESK program where we will be able to give out discount coupons for people who want to buy, but have a hard time with costs. We'll keep the community updated on this when and if we can come to a working agreement with AutoDESK.
