Neoinfinit CAD Advanced Drafting (Consultancy Edition)

Learn CAD Like a Consultant — Not Like a Classroom Student

Course Introduction

Welcome to the Neoinfinit CAD Advanced Drafting Program, a consultancy-grade training built for those who want to draft like real engineering offices, work with multi-CAD environments, deliver clean XREF-based sheets, and handle professional markups and revisions.

This is not coaching.
This is consultancy drafting mastery.

You will be trained in industry standards, advanced tools, project workflows, electrical drafting basics, revision control, template creation, Xrefs, block libraries, and multi-software productivity — just like junior CAD engineers are trained in top MEP and architecture firms.
