Embark on an exciting journey to learn about the most commonly used tools for an interior design commercial project, building upon the knowledge acquired from the residential portion of this class. This tutorial guides you through the process of opening and saving a specific AutoCAD file, which serves as a crucial starting point for your project.
Key Insights
- The tutorial is focused on leveraging prior knowledge from a residential learning module to delve into commercial interior designing, using AutoCAD as the primary tool.
- The learning process begins with an existing file, offering a hands-on experience as students will work on pre-completed portions, thus skipping the mundane task of creating a drawing from scratch.
- Students are instructed on how to save their project, emphasizing the importance of properly naming it with relevant identifiers and their personal information.

Welcome to the commercial section of this course. I'm so excited you're here. We're going to leverage everything we learned in the residential portion of this class so that we can dive right into the tools that are most commonly used for an interior design commercial project.
Our first step is to open up this file AutoCAD for interior design commercial start and you might notice there's a lot going on in this file already. We're kind of parachuting into a project that is underway. But this project, think of it like a kit of parts.
There are some portions that are already completed and some portions that we are going to work on together. This will allow us to avoid the busy work of creating an AutoCAD drawing but jump right into the heart of the tools that we most need for interior design. After opening this file our first step is to go to file save as so go to the top file drop down select save as and save it as a drawing.
