Overview

Struggling to bridge AutoCAD designs with database functionality? Manual data handling costs UK firms 200+ hours yearly. This course teaches seamless integration using C#—automate workflows and boost productivity in one streamlined solution.

With 78% of UK engineering firms now using database-driven design systems, combining AutoCAD with SQL Server via C# is a game-changer. This course delivers targeted training for professionals needing to automate drawings, manage large-scale project data, and eliminate repetitive tasks. It addresses a critical skills gap in the UK's architecture, engineering, and construction sectors where integrated systems command 30% efficiency gains.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop C# classes for AutoCAD object manipulation
  • Establish secure SQL Server connections from CAD interfaces
  • Automate drawing updates using database triggers
  • Optimise query performance for large-scale projects
  • Implement error handling for mission-critical applications

What is Included:

  • C# scripting for AutoCAD-SQL Server integration
  • Hands-on database connectivity exercises
  • Flexible learning with industry case studies
  • Dedicated code review sessions
  • CPD-certified completion credential

What Makes This Course a Smart Career Move?
UK job postings for C#-AutoCAD developers have risen 42% since 2023, with salaries ranging £70k in senior roles. Major infrastructure projects like HS2 and Thames Tideway demand these hybrid skills, while BIM adoption drives 20% annual growth in related positions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
