HackRVA's 100th level Grand CAD Master, is subjecting absolute beginners to a training montage of CAD techniques and drawing. This challenge of challanges is focused on drawing in 2D since that is the basis for CNC Routing & Laser Cutting.

What you will learn/get:

• 2D CAD manipulation of AutoCAD.
• The basics of the AutoCAD user interface.
• A template to help remember skillz later.
  -A new found inner peace and strength.

What you must bring:

-A laptop or other computer with AutoCAD installed
download educational or trial version here (http://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/overview)

-A true heart.
-Courage of fire.
-A classic human-computer interface device (aka mouse - you don't want to use a touchpad to CAD ) in other words just to be clear BRING A MOUSE - touchpads are not good for CADing

And here's a link to grab the CAD template for the workshop - please download it and try opening it before you come to class - if you can, look around at the template too:
