During my placement at The National Theatre I worked in the 3D Digital Drawing Department and was taught the basics of using AutoCAD. Over the summer I practised what I learned using the free programme "DraftSite" which is a similar programme used for technical drawings in a .dwg/.dwt file.
When I started drawing up the Studio Theatre I used a blank template, and just focussed on re-learning all of the tools and utilising them in the most efficient way.
Working from the technical drawings of the theatre Will gave me, I had to re-measure all the lines from a 1:25 scale so I could draw them 1:1 in AutoCAD, with the option to scale them either to 1:50 or 1:25 to be printed out and used.
It was good getting to grips with AutoCAD again and I feel very confident that I will be able to teach myself further how to use the programme.
