# AutoCAD Construction Documents III Course Online (Coming Soon)

100% online training with expert live support

Canonical URL: <https://vdci.edu/courses/autocad-construction-documents-iii>

## Overview

This course completes the residential drawing set you started in Construction Documents I and II. You'll draft the four remaining sheets: door and window schedules, a reflected ceiling and electrical plan, kitchen elevations, and finish schedules with trim details. Each sheet introduces a tool that saves time on real projects, from dynamic blocks and data extraction that build a live door schedule to layer states that switch between ceiling, electrical, and floor plan views.

You'll also record actions to automate repetitive drafting, write a custom hatch pattern file, and use annotative scaling so text and dimensions stay consistent across viewports. The course ends with the Sheet Set Manager, where you'll link sheet titles and project data across drawings and batch plot the full 11-sheet set as a single PDF.

## What you'll learn

- Create dynamic blocks with visibility states and attributes
- Build a live door schedule with data extraction, and draft window and room finish schedules
