-2- DOWNLOAD FREE SOFTWARE
Two applications are required for the course:
-1- AutoCAD for Windows. The software requires an account to be open with an educational email address (your.name@solacc.edu). The license is active for three years. If students use SLCC computers during the regularly schedule class hours, then students do not need to download and install AutoCAD on a personal computer. The software is already installed.

-2- The instructor has written an plugin application for AutoCAD. The application has a free educational license, but cost $100 for commercial licenses.
