AutoCAD ACU study plan

Draw geometry using absolute, relative rectangular, and relative polar coordinate entry plus object snap overrides

Modify existing geometry with OFFSET, TRIM, EXTEND, FILLET, CHAMFER, STRETCH, and a polar ARRAY

Create and configure at least six named layers with assigned color, linetype, lineweight, and plot/no-plot settings

Apply and edit object properties through the Properties palette, and transfer them with MATCHPROP

Control object selection using window, crossing, fence, and quick-select style filters

Build reusable blocks with insertion base points, then redefine one block and observe the update across all insertions

Attach attribute definitions to a block and edit the attribute values after insertion

Group objects and toggle selection behavior to practice isolating and editing grouped geometry

Run property-based selection filters and use OVERKILL to remove duplicate overlapping geometry

Save, restore, and compare named layer states between two versions of the same drawing

Create paper space layouts and place model geometry in floating viewports at a specified standard scale

Lock viewport display scale and pan the model inside a locked viewport to verify the scale holds

Set layer property overrides inside a single viewport without altering the model space layer state

Configure annotative text and annotative block styles so annotation prints at a constant size across two scales

Complete a page setup including sheet size, plot area, orientation, and plot scale

Create and modify named dimension styles controlling arrowheads, text placement, and primary/secondary units

Place linear, aligned, angular, radial, diameter, and baseline dimension types on the same object

Reposition and edit dimension text and extension line gaps using grips and dimension overrides

Add multileaders with a landing line and attach a table or field-driven note to the drawing

Diagnose and repair non-associative dimensions after the underlying geometry is stretched

Create associative and non-associative hatches using boundary selection and boundary objects

Adjust hatch pattern scale, angle, and origin so the pattern aligns consistently across two adjacent areas

Apply a gradient fill and set draw order so hatch does not obscure text and dimensions

Configure color-dependent and named plot style tables and verify the difference in a plot preview

Plot a layout to PDF with correct scale, lineweight display, and plot options

Build a custom drawing template with predefined units, limits, layers, text styles, dimension styles, and layouts

Set drawing-level properties and insert a title block with field-driven sheet information

Publish a multi-sheet set to a single PDF and configure the sheet order and output settings

Run PURGE, AUDIT, and RECOVER on a deliberately corrupted copy and document what each command reports

Package a drawing set for delivery with bound references and a transmittal record

Take a timed 50-question practice set spanning all five domains and record the score per domain

Re-work every missed item and write the correct command, variable, or workflow for each one

Drill the ten system variables and dialog settings you got wrong most often until each is recalled without notes

Rebuild one weak workflow from scratch in a fresh drawing with no reference open

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions with no notes or references

Review the error log from week 7 and confirm each listed gap is now closed

Re-perform the three weakest tasks from memory while narrating each step out loud

Verify final readiness by confirming both mock scores and the closed-gap checklist
