Module 1, Lesson 2: Workspace Setup & Basic Geometric Drafting
Master the building blocks of technical drawing and bring your first lines to life. In this hands-on lesson, you'll demystify the ProgeCAD workspace setup and dive straight into creating essential geometric entities like lines, circles, arcs, and rectangles.

Module 1, Lesson 3: Precision Drawing Tools & Accuracy Settings
Eliminate guesswork and draft with absolute accuracy. In this lesson, you will unlock the powerhouse features that separate amateur sketches from professional construction documents: entity snaps, ortho mode, grids, and polar tracking.

Module 1, Lesson 4: Entity Selection Methods & Management
Stop wasting time clicking individual lines one by one. In this lesson, you will master the art of efficient drawing management by exploring ProgeCAD's powerful entity selection methods.

Module 1, Lesson 5: Modifying Geometry & Essential Editing Commands
Turn rough drafts into precise designs by learning how to manipulate your elements like a master. In this lesson, you’ll dive into the essential editing commands that form the backbone of all technical drafting: Move, Copy, Rotate, Scale, and Mirror.

Module 2, Lesson 1: Using Layers to Organize Your Drawing
Tame the chaos of complex architectural drawings by mastering the ultimate organizational tool: layers. In this lesson, you’ll dive into the Layer Manager in ProgeCAD to structure your projects professionally.

Module 2, Lesson 2: Creating and Modifying Layouts & Viewports
Bridge the gap between raw drafting and professional client presentation. In this lesson, you’ll master the transition from Model Space to Paper Space in ProgeCAD.

Module 2, Lesson 3: Plotting, Printing, and Electronic Output
Bring your digital designs out into the physical world or package them for professional client delivery. In this final lesson, you will master the end-to-end plotting and printing workflow in ProgeCAD.

Module 2, Lesson 4: Text and Annotation Basics
Transform raw lines into clear, professional instructions that builders and engineers can execute on site. In this lesson, you will master the essential annotation tools in ProgeCAD by exploring single-line text and multi-line text (MText) objects.

Module 2, Lesson 5: Dimensioning Your Drawing
Ensure your construction designs translate accurately from screen to brick and mortar. In this lesson, you’ll master the essential dimensioning toolset in ProgeCAD to add precise linear, aligned, angular, and radius measurements to your plans.

Module 3, Lesson 1: Introduction to 3D Drawing & Visualization
Step out of the flat 2D plane and into the immersive world of spatial design. In this lesson, you’ll discover the core fundamentals of 3D modeling in ProgeCAD.

Module 3, Lesson 2: Basics of Creating 3D Solids
Transform flat 2D profiles into tangible, volumetric building components. In this lesson, you’ll unlock the core solid modeling engine of ProgeCAD by mastering essential generation commands: Extrude, Sweep, Loft, and Revolve.
