Thank you for the video! It’s a great start for me as I have a long journey ahead in this program. The video helped me understand some of the basic applications, which is really appreciated since the program feels quite daunting.

No worries! If you're interested in more materials or some more information about AutoCAD and the importance of properly learning how to use the program, check out our free webclass www.verweydraftinginc.com/webinar-registration

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

[@VerweyDraftingInc]

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!

whenever i press tab my line doesnt look like yours and when i press enter my line disappears, im confused.

[@VerweyDraftingInc]

Press F12 on your keyboard to enable dynamic input. This should fix it

[@akioochoa9579]

I dont get the architectural option in the units

[@VerweyDraftingInc]

You should be able to type into the command bar "UNITS", select "Architectural" from the first drop down menu. If this doesn't fix it, What version of AutoCAD are you using? (Year and type, etc. 2025, AutoCAD LT)

[@anureetghuman559]

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?

[@VerweyDraftingInc]

Press F12 on your keyboard to enable dynamic input. This should fix it!

[@sdmohamed6136]

I TYPE 12' IN A RECTANGLE BOX BUT THE LENGHTH WAS TOO SMALL . I AM DAMN CONFUSED COULD YOU HELP ME PLEASE

[@VerweyDraftingInc]

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

[@VerweyDraftingInc]

@@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!
