Cramming
Among the most common mistakes CAD learners make is cramming instead of understanding the main principles and working their way from that. For example, most beginners fail to understand the difference between paper space and model space, which can be easy when they understand layers.
Not Practicing
Another common mistake among CAD learners is failure to practice what they learn. Any CAD students should ensure they implement whatever they learn several times and often to ensure they understand and master the concept. That is particularly more important for students who learn using books. That means the learners need access to the software even before they become skilled.
Learning Too Much, Too Quickly
The pace of learning also matters a lot. Learning too quickly might make it challenging to retain all the information, especially given how complex the software is. Different students have different capabilities regarding how much they can learn and retain at a time, meaning learners should assess themselves.
Not Researching and Exploring
Ideally, no single resource has everything a learner needs to master the CAD software. Punters need to combine information from many different sources to find all the relevant knowledge they need. Researching and exploring is thus a key element in ensuring effective learning.
