AutoCAD Advanced training in Geneva and Lausanne. Master 3D drafting, dynamic blocks and Autodesk customisation for your CAD projects ITTA.
AutoCAD is Autodesk’s flagship computer-aided drafting (CAD) software, launched in 1982 and become a widely used tool for 2D and 3D design in architecture, building, civil engineering, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing and urban planning. The DWG (Drawing) format has become the de facto standard for exchanging technical plans between architects, engineers, project owners, general contractors and tradespeople. AutoCAD comes in several ranges: AutoCAD (generalist 2D/3D), AutoCAD LT (simplified 2D), AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD MEP, and AutoCAD for Mac.
AutoCAD covers the entire technical drawing production cycle: precise 2D drawing (lines, polylines, circles, splines, hatches), 3D modelling (solids, surfaces, wireframe models), dimensioning and annotations, layer management, reusable blocks and libraries, Layout, printing and PDF/DWF publishing, exchange and collaboration via DWG, electronic signature, AutoLISP / Visual Basic / .NET for customisation, integration with BIM flows with Revit (Autodesk Architecture Engineering Construction Collection). In 2026, AutoCAD benefits from progressive AI evolutions, reinforced cloud integration (Autodesk Drive, Autodesk Docs), and controlled coexistence with Revit in BIM projects.
In French-speaking Switzerland, Geneva architecture firms, Vaud civil engineering offices, construction companies, Jura mechanical industries, electrical design offices, urban planners, landscape architects, public project owners and freelancers leverage AutoCAD daily to produce technical plans. AutoCAD mastery remains an unavoidable prerequisite for many technical drawing, construction and engineering professions. ITTA offers the AutoCAD catalogue covering Fundamentals and Advanced levels.
Following a recognised AutoCAD training opens access to highly demanded roles: drafter, building drafter, mechanical drafter, electrical drafter, construction technical drawer, interior architect, surveyor, urban planner, design office technician. Whether you are discovering AutoCAD or skilling up on 3D and complex plan production, our AutoCAD training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the full path.
AutoCAD – Fundamentals is the entry training for profiles discovering AutoCAD. The programme covers AutoCAD interface onboarding (ribbon, palettes, command line, workspace), 2D drawing tools (line, polyline, circle, arc, rectangle, polygon), modifications (trim, extend, mirror, scale, rotate, move, copy), precision use (object snap, polar tracking), layer management, blocks and libraries, dimensioning and annotations, hatches, Layout, PDF printing and publishing, and DWG file exchange. Targets beginner drafters, students in reconversion, architecture and building profiles starting their career.
AutoCAD – Advanced is the training to go further on AutoCAD, notably in 3D and on complex plan production. The programme covers 3D modelling (solids, surfaces, boolean operations), 3D views and cameras, rendering, working with external references (Xrefs), interface customisation, attributes and nomenclatures, fields and formulas, spreadsheets and tables, standards management (CAD Standards), basic AutoLISP to automate tasks, productivity best practices, and BIM exchange with Revit. Targets confirmed drafters, design office drafters, design office technicians skilling up on 3D and complex projects.
AutoCAD fits into a broader Autodesk and technical design ecosystem. The architecture and CAD design sub-domain regroups AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD and market CAD/BIM tools. The Revit publisher is very complementary for profiles moving from 2D drawing to BIM (Building Information Modeling) with the Autodesk Architecture Engineering Construction Collection. AutoCAD training naturally prepares the Revit transition for architects, engineers and design offices adopting BIM. AutoCAD remains irreplaceable for 2D technical plan flows and certain professions (civil engineering, mechanical, electrical).
AutoCAD continues to evolve in 2026 with structuring developments. Generative AI progressively integrates into AutoCAD (Autodesk AI Assistant, variant generation, repetitive task automation). Cloud integration strengthens with Autodesk Drive, Autodesk Docs and online collaboration on DWG files. Controlled coexistence between AutoCAD (2D technical plans) and Revit (3D BIM) becomes the norm in modern architecture and engineering offices. AutoCAD LT (2D) remains relevant for budget-constrained profiles not needing 3D. Flex subscriptions and Industry Collections (Architecture Engineering Construction, Product Design and Manufacturing) structure the Autodesk commercial model. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.
All our AutoCAD courses are available on-site in our Geneva and Lausanne centres, as well as in interactive virtual classroom with an Autodesk Certified Professional trainer live. Our sessions are organised in 5-week cycles. Each session includes hands-on labs on official AutoCAD, technical plans to produce from the first hours, dimensioning to structure, layers to manage, blocks to create, Layout to publish, and concrete cases inspired by real projects (architecture plan, simple mechanical plan, electrical plan). Customised corporate training is also possible at your premises, in Geneva, Lausanne, Vaud and across French-speaking Switzerland, with a programme adapted to your sector (architecture, construction, mechanical, electrical, civil engineering) and your internal CAD standards.
ITTA offers a training catalogue. Our AutoCAD trainers are drafters and Autodesk Certified Professional trainers active in Swiss and international architecture firms, engineering offices and industries, covering 2D technical drawing, 3D modelling, layout, BIM exchange with Revit. The AutoCAD catalogue regroups Fundamentals and Advanced. Our pedagogical team supports you in choosing the right path, identifying prerequisites (general IT, technical drawing vocabulary if relevant) and identifying funding solutions adapted to your professional situation.
Our pedagogical approach favours learning by doing, with plans to produce from the first hours, dimensioning to structure, layers to organise, blocks to create, Layouts to publish, and concrete cases inspired by real projects. Each session combines training time, applied exercises and exchanges with the trainer, allowing each participant to progress at their own pace and leave with skills directly usable in their professional context.
Our training is aimed at varied audiences: drafters, building drafters, mechanical drafters, electrical drafters, construction technicians, interior architects, surveyors, urban planners, students in reconversion toward technical drawing professions. Our pedagogical team adapts the content to the participants’ context.

What is the difference between AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT and Revit?
AutoCAD is the full software for 2D and 3D technical drawing, with advanced customisation (AutoLISP.NET) and 3D capability. AutoCAD LT is the simplified 2D-only version, at reduced price, for profiles not needing 3D or advanced customisation. Revit is Autodesk’s BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool for parametric object-oriented design (walls, slabs, openings, MEP), distinct from pure AutoCAD technical drawing. Our pedagogical team guides you based on your profession.
Which AutoCAD course to choose to start?
For profiles discovering AutoCAD, the Fundamentals training is the natural entry (2D, layers, blocks, dimensioning, layout). For confirmed drafters wanting to move to 3D and structure complex projects, the Advanced training is the logical follow-up. Our pedagogical team guides you based on your level and objectives.
Do I need an AutoCAD licence to follow the training?
No, we provide workstations equipped with official AutoCAD for training. For personal or professional practice, AutoCAD is ordered by Autodesk subscription (monthly, annual, Industry Collection). A 30-day evaluation version and a free student version are available directly on autodesk.com to practise between sessions.
Are your AutoCAD courses available for companies?
Yes, the entire AutoCAD catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your sector (architecture, construction, mechanical, electrical, urban planning, civil engineering), your internal CAD standards (DWG templates, layers, business blocks) and your potential plug-ins. Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
