 Understand how to use the Modify commands (Move, Copy,
Rotate, Scale, Trim, Extend).

Week 2: Precision Drawing and Editing


 Learn about Object Snaps and Grid/Snap settings.
 Understand Coordinate Systems (Absolute, Relative, Polar).
 Practice drawing with precision using Polar Tracking and Object
Snap Tracking.

Weeks 3-4: Layers, Properties, and Object Management

Week 3: Layers and Properties


 Learn to create and manage layers.
 Understand layer properties (color, linetype, lineweight).
