The dislikes must be from various tech schools and colleges mad that people don't have to waste a year to learn what this brilliant man has taught everyone in an hour...keep up the amazing work!

I need to make an engineering drawing of a reactor in 5 days, and I've never used AutoCAD in my life. My dude, you delivered so much of what I needed to know in such a short time. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. <3

While I often visit Youtube for references/ tutorial videos on many things but giving a review is a rare phenomenon for me. However, this video is extremely commendable. Hence, deserved a golden comment. I got up & running on Autocad within 2 hours even though I had never ever used Autocad before this. This is 50 times better than the tutorial video created by Auto-Desk itself under the academy section. NO, THIS IS NOT a paid comment :)... Outstanding Job!!!.... Super recommended Autocad beginners.

May God bless this man's soul with an abundance of grace. I spent two days looking through autocad tutorials trying to learn what he showed in 17 minutes, and he still added more helpful tips on finding menus and short keys. Thank you for this!

This is seriously a huge help for getting back into AutoCAD. Thank you so much for this!

[kayndaigneault]

I'm not usually one for watching youtube videos, I learn better while reading then I do visually, however! This is, by far, one of the greatest learning tools I've ever used. Its definitely been super helpful. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

I don't understand why someone would dislike this video. This is a great tutorial. Clear and step-by-step explanation.

[priyanshusharma]

I am just fall in love with this guy as he's explaining every single little things like parents do with their kids just amazing i appreciate your work thank you so much♥️

[IsaneKoyasu]

I'm actually crying. I was on my 3rd week of the semester and fell so far behind. Your videos really helped me understand the basics of the software. I was able to get caught up on my assignments.

Thank you so much❤😭

WOW! I DEEPLY APPRECIATE the SIMPLICITY and UNDERSTANDING of your teaching, the Slow pace, and comprehensive coverage of the software allowed me to follow you and creating my first drawing following your instructions. What a teacher! really don’t know why colleges can’t get the concept that there’s power in simplicity.

[Joewalshe]

I studied Auto-Cad decades ago and have been using it ever since. I believe many college teachers don't keep up to date with the latest software and do not use the software professionally themselves so are not the best at teaching it. Also, the slow learners will slow down the whole class so often best to learn and practice from a video like this. Thanks

SourceCad has inspired me a great deal to create my own YouTube Channel. I am an Architectural Technologist and I have been looking at ways to help people who asked me daily how to use the program. This way they can see my tips on YouTube. Great channel mate; you inspired me. Keep up the great work!

[vendromized]

for real this is so good to listen. Easy not bothering to repeat anything. I gotta admit this is the most suitable tutorial for me I've listen for a very long time. Great job!

[afifnuriksan]

I just watched this video. This greatly helped me to understand about autocad, especially for the success of my collage. Thank you very much, sir ^^

[udvikas]

You explained basic of this AutoCAD in a lucid way. Thanks for making this wonderful video.

[oluwamodupeakinwole]

I’ve Never had to use AutoCAD to draw anything before now. I needed to sketch an elevator shaft for a client and this video delivered 100%. Thank you thank you.

I'm a beginner student in Graphic Design and my cousin is an Engineer at a business I have applied for in the past. I didn't get hired at the time for lack of experience on CAD. Once again, I applied for the experience and skills I've gained through Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Premier Rush in class. I'm a current student so I downloaded AutoCAD, again, lol to do more hands-on learning and be ready for my interview at his job, which is this coming Monday! Thank you, sir, for boosting my confidence and helping me even set up a page and get familiar with the UI and basics of CAD, which I'm sure will be of great use for my interview. Can't wait to see the other videos and continue learning online with your help! God Bless. P.s I hope I get the entry level job as a drafter!

[Hoorambe]

The level of your accent made your voice so clear that I understood every single word. The only CAD software I ever used was SolidWorks and this video taught me a lot.

[PeachPlastic]

This is a godsend. I learnt this in school many years ago, but now that I am about to need it in a job, I was terrified because I forgot it all!
