The CAD Dojo uses repetition and scaffolding in a video-game inspired level system to drill students on common commands for drawing in AutoCAD. It skips much of the UI and overall explanation of the CAD environment instead focusing on getting students quickly drawing. Afterwards, they can use the internet or youtube tutorials to pick up the filler information as needed.
The CAD Dojo training is self-contained in a single .DXF. You can download it and start the Trial of Boxes, then move on to the 10 Student Tribulations, picking up valuable CAD skills along the way in this “game-a-fied” take on CAD training.
