AutoCad Monkey

One of my courses this semester is a course learning how to use a computer drafting program called AutoCad.  It's not exactly the most intuitive program and it seems to crash alot.  Fingers crossed that my computer will hold up long enough to make it through the class! 
Luckily, we have a really amazing professor who has the patience of a saint.  She will literally repeat things five times if needed.  Can you imagine teaching a computer class to 30 students, all of which seem to have an individual issue every five minutes?  It's tough stuff.

She's also broken up the course in a way that makes it easier to understand how AutoCad works.  Our first assingment was set up to learn the program and use of line weight and line type.  It was a completely abstract product.

The second assignment had us reproduce our classroom.  This was where we were able to apply what we learned about line weight and line type to a real situation.  We had to measure the room and make it happen in AutoCad world.  Here are my drawings:






Hope you all have a fabulous Easter weekend!  Can't wait to see what's in my Easter basket....yes, I'm 25 and still get a basket.
