Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AutoCAD Mechanical and SolidWorks?
AutoCAD Mechanical is the industry standard for rapid 2D drafting, layout detailing, and standard annotations. While SolidWorks is a dedicated 3D parametric modeling software, AutoCAD remains essential for creating the primary 2D manufacturing blueprints used on factory floors globally.
Do I need an engineering degree to learn this?
No, you do not need a formal engineering degree to become a CAD Draftsman. However, a basic understanding of mathematics, geometry, and a willingness to learn how to read mechanical blueprints is necessary.
What software version is used?
We teach using recent versions of AutoCAD (2020-2024) specifically focusing on the Mechanical toolset. The core command structure rarely changes, ensuring your skills are applicable across different company setups.
Do I need my own laptop with AutoCAD installed?
For offline students at our Viva Technologies center, we provide fully equipped lab systems for practice. However, having a personal PC/laptop at home is highly recommended for assignments. We will guide you on accessing the free Autodesk Student License.
