[rxmoutonmouton]

Amazing how much great information you are able to present in one video. Bravo!

[LazyArquitecto]

I'd mention that when you create the dynamic restroom block, it is only for personal use. It is not acceptable to do that if you work on an office and other team members also use your drawings. You could get fire if your boss finds it. Be careful. Overall well explained Cad in Black!

[saraal-moudarres]

Hi there. Learning AutoCAD for kitchen design and am having a hard time finding videos like yours. Most of the videos have distracting music, the pace is way too fast to even know what command they used etc. I was wondering if you have considered doing a detailed video of how to draw a kitchen layout with elevations. I have used 2020 design since 2006, but many other jobs are also using CAD and I would like to learn how to use it for this purpose. Hoping for any input.

[EugenioPanuta]
