 STUDY OF CAPABILITIES OF SOFTWARE FOR DRAFTING AND MODELING

The engineering drawings must be prepared using certain standard practices to

understand by the people, as recommended by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

DRAWING SHEETS
Engineering drawings are prepared on drawing sheets of standard sizes. The use of
standard size sheet saves paper and facilitates convenient storage of drawings.

SIZES OF DRAWING SHEETS

The original drawing should be made on the smallest sheet, permitting the necessary
clarity and resolution. The preferred sizes according to ISO-A series (First choice) of the
drawing sheets are given in Table.
Table: Preferred drawing sheet sizes ISO - A Series

DRAWING SHEET LAYOUT

The layout of a drawing sheet is the standard arrangement to ensure that all the necessary
information is included in the drawing sheet to facilitate its quick reading. The layout of a
drawing sheet includes the main components such as title block and, borders and frames.

TITLE BLOCK
The title block should lie at the bottom right hand corner of the drawing sheet. This must
be followed, both for sheets positioned horizontally or vertically (Fig.). The title block can have
a maximum length of 170 mm. Figure shows a typical title block, providing the following
information:
(i) Title of the drawing
(ii) Sheet number
(iii) Scale
(iv) Symbol (denoting the method of projection)
(v) Material used and tolerance expected
(vi) Name of the firm
(vii) Initials of staff drawn, checked and approved.

Fig. Details in title block

BORDERS AND FRAMES

Borders enclosed by the edges of the trimmed sheet and the frame, limiting the drawing
space, should be provided with all sheet sizes. It is recommended that these borders have a
minimum width of 20 mm for the sizes A0 and A1 and a minimum width of 10 mm for the sizes
A2, A3 and A4 (Fig.). A filing margin for taking perforations, may be provided on the edge, and
far left of the title block.

Fig. Borders and frames

2
SCALES
Scale is the ratio of the linear dimension represented in the drawing, to the real linear
dimension. It is desirable to make full size drawings, so as to represent true shapes and sizes. If
this is not possible, the largest possible scale should be selected from those given in Table. The
scale and the size of the object in turn, will decide the size of the drawing.
Table: Recommended scales

SCALE SPECIFICATION
If all drawings are made to the same scale, the scale should be indicated in or near the
title block. Where it is necessary to use more than one scale on a drawing, the main scale only
should be shown in the title block and all the other scales, adjacent to the item reference number
of the part concerned or near the drawings.

LINES
Lines of different types and thicknesses are used for graphical representation of objects.
The types of lines and their applications are shown in Table.

Order of priority of coinciding lines:

When two or more lines of different types coincide, the following order of priority should
be observed:

(i) Visible outlines and edges (Continuous thick lines, type A),
(ii) Hidden outlines and edges (Dashed line, type E or F),
(iii) Cutting planes (Chain thin, thick at ends and changes of cutting planes, type H),
(iv) Centre lines and lines of symmetry (Chain thin line, type G),
(v) Centroidal lines (Chain thin double dashed line, type K),
(vi) Projection lines (Continuous thin line, type B).
The invisible line technique and axis representation should be followed as per the
recommendations given in Table.

3
Table: Types of lines and their applications

 Table: Invisible lines

TERMINATION OF LEADER LINES

A leader is a line referring to a feature (dimension, object, outline, etc.).
Leader lines should terminate (Fig.),

(a) With a dot, if they end within the outlines of an object

(b) With an arrow head, if they end on the outline of an object

(c) Without dot or arrow head, if they end on a dimension line

Fig. Termination of leader lines

LETTERING
The essential features of lettering on technical drawings are legibility, uniformity and
suitability for microfilming and other photographic reproductions. The dimension of lettering is
clearly shown in figure. Vertical type lettering is mentioned in fig.

Fig. Dimensions of lettering

Fig. Vertical lettering

SECTIONING
In order to show the inner details of a machine component, the object is imagined to be
cut by a cutting plane and the section is viewed after the removal of cut portion.

Sections are made by at cutting planes and are designated by capital letters and the
direction of viewing is indicated by arrow marks. Cutting plane indication is shown in figure.

6
 Fig. Cutting plane indication
HATCHING OF SECTIONS
Hatching is generally used to show areas of sections. The simplest form of hatching is
generally adequate for the purpose, and may be continuous thin lines (type B) at a convenient
angle, preferably 45°, to the principal outlines or lines of symmetry of the sections (Fig. 1.11).

Fig. Preferred hatching angles

Fig. Sectioning along two parallel planes Fig. Hatching interrupted for dimensioning
In principle, ribs, fasteners, shafts, spokes of wheels and the like are not cut in
longitudinal sections and therefore should not be hatched (Fig).

Fig. Sections not to be hatched

DIMENSIONING
It is size description of the features represented using lines, symbols, figures and notes.
Some of the guidelines to represent the dimensions are given below.

1. As far as possible, dimensions should be placed outside the view.

2. Dimensions should be taken from visible outlines rather than from hidden lines.
3. Dimensioning to a centre line should be avoided except when the centre line passes
through the centre of a hole.
4. Each feature should be dimensioned only once on a drawing.
5. Dimensions should be placed on the view or section that relates most clearly to the
corresponding features.
6. Each drawing should use the same unit for all dimensions, but without showing the unit
symbol.

8
Methods of indicating the dimensions
Dimensions should be indicated on a drawing, according to one of the following two
methods. However, only one method should be used on any one drawing.

Method 1 (Aligned System): Dimensions should be placed parallel to their dimension lines and
preferably near the middle, above and clear-off the dimension line (Fig.).

Linear Oblique Angular

Fig. Aligned system

Method – 2(Unidirectional System): Dimensions should be indicated so that they can be read
from the bottom of the drawing only. Non-horizontal dimension lines are interrupted, preferably
near the middle, for insertion of the dimension (Fig.).

STARTING AUTOCAD 2016

To start AutoCAD 2016, double-click the AutoCAD 2016 icon on your Desktop (or)
click Start > All Programs > Autodesk > AutoCAD 2016 > AutoCAD 2016.
AutoCAD user interface
When you double-click the AutoCAD 2016 icon on the desktop, the AutoCAD 2016
initial screen will appear.

On the Initial Screen, click Start Drawing to open a new drawing file. The drawing file
consists of a graphics window, ribbon, menu bar, toolbars, command line, and other screen
components, depending on the workspace that you have selected.

10
WORKSPACES IN AUTOCAD
There are three workspaces available in AutoCAD: Drafting & Annotation, 3D Basics,
and 3D Modeling. By default, the Drafting & Annotation workspace is activated. You can
create 2D drawings in this workspace. You can also activate other workspaces by using the
Workspace drop-down on the top-left corner or the Workspace Switching menu on the lower-
right corner of the window.

DRAFTING & ANNOTATION WORKSPACE

This workspace has all the tools to create a 2D drawing. It has a ribbon located at the top
of the screen. The ribbon is arranged in a hierarchy of tabs, panels, and tools. Panels such as
Draw, Modify, and Layers consist of tools which are grouped based on their usage. Panels in
turn are grouped into various tabs. For example, the panels such as Draw, Modify, are Layers
are located in the Home tab.

QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR

This is located at the top left corner of the window and helps you to access commands,
quickly. It consists of commonly used commands such as New, Save, Open, Save As, and so on.

11
FILE TABS
Files tabs are located below the ribbon. You can switch between different drawing files
by using the file tabs. Also, you can open a new file by using the + button, easily.

APPLICATION MENU
The Application Menu appears when you click on the icon located at the top left corner
of the window. The Application Menu consists of a list of self-explanatory menus. You can see
a list of recently opened documents or a list of currently opened documents by clicking the
Recent Documents and Open Documents buttons, respectively. The Search Bar is used to
search for any command. You can type any keyword in the search bar and find a list of
commands related to it.

GRAPHICS WINDOW
Graphics window is the blank space located below the file tabs. You can draw objects
and create 3D graphics in the graphics window. The top left corner of the graphics window has
In-Canvas Controls. Using these controls, you can set the orientation and display style of the
model.

12
VIEWCUBE
The ViewCube allows you to navigate in the 3D Modeling and 2D drafting
environments. Using the ViewCube, you can set the orientation of the model. For example, you
can select the top face of the ViewCube to set the orientation to Top. You can click the corner
points to set the view to Isometric.

NAVIGATION BAR
The Navigation Bar contains navigation tools such as Steering wheel, Pan, Zoom,
Orbit, and ShowMotion.

COMMAND LINE
The command line is located below the graphics window. It is very easy to execute a
command using the command line. You can just type the first letter of a command and it lists all
the commands starting with that letter. This makes you to activate commands very easily and
increases your productivity.

13
 Also, the command line shows the current state of the drawing. It shows various prompts
while working with any command. These prompts are series of steps needed to successfully
execute a command. For example, when you activate the LINE command, the command line
displays a prompt, “Specify the first point”. You need to click in the graphics window to specify
the first point of the line. After specifying the first point, the prompt, “Specify next point or
[Undo]:” appears. Now, you need to specify the next point of the line. It is recommended that
you should always have a look at the command line to know the next step while executing a
command.

STATUS BAR
Status Bar is located at the bottom of the AutoCAD window. It contains many buttons
which help you to create a drawing very easily. You can turn ON or OFF these buttons just by
clicking on them. Some buttons are hidden by default. You can display more buttons on the
status bar by clicking the Customization button at the bottom right corner and selecting the
options from the menu. The buttons available on the status bar are briefly discussed in the
following section.

16
SELECTION WINDOW

A selection window is used to select multiple elements of the drawing. In AutoCAD

2016, you can select multiple elements by using two types of selection windows. The first type is
a rectangular selection window. You can create this type of selection window by defining its two
diagonal corners. When you define the first corner of the selection window on the left and
second corner on the right side, the elements which completely fall under the selection window
will be selected.

However, if you define the first corner on the right side and second corner of the left side,
the elements, which fall completely or partially under the selection window, will be selected.

The second type of selection window is the Lasso. Lasso is an irregular shape created by
clicking and dragging the pointer across the elements to select. If you drag the pointer from the
left to right, the elements falling completely under the lasso will be selected.

If you drag the pointer from right to left, the elements, which fall completely or partially
under the lasso, will be selected.

17
STARTING A NEW DRAWING
You can start an AutoCAD document by using the Get Started section or by using the
Select template dialog.
GET STARTED SECTION ON THE INITIAL SCREEN
To start a new drawing, click Create at the bottom of the initial screen, and then select a
template from Get Started > Templates drop-down.

THE SELECT TEMPLATE DIALOG

To start a new drawing, click the New button on anyone of the following:

i. Quick Access Toolbar

ii. Application Menu
The Select Template dialog appears when you click the New button. In this dialog,
select the acad.dwt (inch units) or acadiso.dwt (metric units) template for creating a 2D
drawing. Select the acad3D.dwt or acadiso3D.dwt template for creating 3D models.

18
DRAWING AND MODIFYING OBJECTS
AutoCAD is drafting/modeling software used all over the world by almost all
Manufacturing companies. It is variable software which can be used in all engineering divisions.
It is a drafting version popularly known to everyone associated with mechanical engineering.
The AutoCAD drawing enables the designer to communicate his ideas to the outside of
department easily. Conversion of AutoCAD files to other software is also possible using drawing
exchange Formula. In this introduction part, commands and procedures for drawing and
modifying the Objects are explored.
START AND SAVE A DRAWING
When you start a drawing, you specify the type of units and other settings you can also
choose how to save your files, including saving back up files.
The settings you select, English a metric determines default values used for many
system variables of controlling text dimensions, grid, snap and default line type and hatch
pattern life. ENGLISH - Creates a new drawing based on Imperial Measurement System. The
drawing is based on cad.dwt template.
METRIC
Creates a new drawing based on metric measurement. The drawing is based on
acadiso.dwt template. Save drawing files for later use.
CONTROL THE VIEWS
You can magnify the details in your drawing for a closer view or shift the view to a
different part of the drawing. If you can save the view by name, you can restore them later.
UNITS
Every object is measured in units. In AutoCAD we can determine the value of the
units before we draw.
LIMITS
The drawings limits are two-dimensional points in the world coordinate that represent a
lower-left limit and an upper right limit. You cannot impose limits on the Z direction.

AUTOCAD CO-ORDINATE SYSTEMS

ABSOLUTE CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: (X, Y)

Absolute Cartesian coordinates specify a point’s exact distance from the origin point of
the coordinate system, which is represented as (0,0). The absolute X and Y coordinates are
signed numbers.

19
RELATIVE CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: (@X,Y)
Relative Cartesian coordinates specify a point’s exact distance from the last point that
was entered.
For example, typing @4,2 tells AutoCAD to locate a point that is four X units and two
Y units away from the last point entered. The X and Y relative coordinates are signed numbers.
Direct distance entry is a shorthand relative coordinate entry method.

POLAR CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: (@DISTANCE<ANGLE)

Polar coordinates specify a point’s exact location by a distance and angle from the last
point that was entered. The distance is always positive and the angle is measured from the
positive X axis.
For example, typing @4<45 tells AutoCAD to locate a point that is four units away
from the current location and at an angle of 45 degrees from the horizontal.

20
 AUTOCAD COMMANDS:

LINE
Line command allows you to create a line where the end points are specified by two
dimensional or three dimensional coordinates.

POLYLINE
PLINE command allows you to draw line and arc segments, but from start to end, it is
treated as a sing object. With PLINE command, you can draw objects even with line width.

ARC
The ARC command allows you to create an arc segment. There are different methods of
creating an arc. The different methods of creating an arc are:
 3 Points
 Centre, Start, Radius
 Start, Centre, End
 Start, Centre, Angle
 Start, Centre, Length
 Start, End, Angle
 Start, End, Direction
 Start, End, Radius

CIRCLE
The CIRCLE command allows you to create a circle. There are different methods for
drawing circles. They are:
 Centre
 Radius/Centre,
 Diameter
 3 Points (3P)
 2 Points (2P)
 Tangent, Tangent, Radius

POLYGON
Polygon command creates a regular polygon. You must specify the number of sides of
the polygon and whether it is Inscribed or Circumscribed polygon. Now, specify the centre and
radius of the polygon circle.

21
OSNAP
Osnap allow you to snap onto a specific object location when you are picking a point.
For example, using Osnap you can accurately pick the end point of a line or the center of a
circle.

ERASE
This command is used for deleting unwanted objects. You must select the object to be
erased.

COPY
The copy command is used for making copies of selected objects. The object to be
copied must be selected and the base point must be specified and the copy can be dragged and
placed at the required position.

MOVE
This command is used for moving selected objects. The object to be moved must be
selected and its base point must be specified then we can drag it to the required location.

ROTATE
This command is used for rotating selected objects. To rotate an object, first select it
and specify a base point. Now enter an angle value or specify a second point to rotate the object.
Entering a positive angle value rotates the objects counterclockwise or clockwise, depending on
the Direction Control setting and Drawing Units dialog box. The plane of rotation and the
direction of the zero angles depend on the orientation of the user coordinate system.

MIRROR
The MIRROR command is used for creating mirror images of selected objects. You
must first select the object to be mirrored and then specify the axis along which it is mirrored, to
create a mirror image of the selected object. This is a very useful command for drawing
symmetrical objects about a particular axis.

OFFSET
Offset an object to create a new object whose shape parallels the shape of the original
object. Offsetting a circle or an arc creates a larger or smaller circle or arc, depending on which
side you specify for the offset.

22
POLAR ARRAY
This command creates an array of the selected object around a centre point. You must
specify the centre point of the array, the total number of items and the angle to fill for creating a
polar array.

RECTANGULAR ARRAY
This command creates an array of the selected objects defined by the number of rows
and columns and the offset between them.

EXTEND
The EXTEND command elongates the selected objects to a specified boundary.

TRIM
The TRIM command trims off an object using cutting edges defined by other objects.
Here the user is required to select object(s) to define cutting edge(s) then select the object to be
trimmed; the selected side of the object is removed based on the side of selection of the object to
be trimmed relative to the cutting edge.

BREAK
The BREAK command is used to remove only parts of an object. You must specify the
first and second points between which the object must be deleted.

FILLET
FILLET rounds the edges of two arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, lines, polylines, rays,
splines or xlines with an arc of a specified radius. Rounds along the edges cannot be created with
zero radius.

CHAMFER
CHAMFER command draws a line at the corner between two selected lines. If the lines
do not intersect, it extends the lines. If they intersect, the lines extending beyond the chamfer line
can be trimmed or left as it is, by the trim mode.

LENGTHEN
The LENGTHEN command is used to increase/decrease the length of AutoCAD
objects.

23
DIVIDE
This command places evenly spaced point objects or blocks along the length or
perimeter of an object. You can select only one entity at a time to be divided. The entities that
can be selected are: line, arc, circle, polyline and spline.

ZOOM ALL
This zoom displays the entire drawing in the current viewport. The display shows all the
entities even if the drawing extends outside the drawing limits.

ZOOM WINDOW
ZOOM WINDOW commands to display an area specified by two diagonally opposite
corner points of a rectangle window.

ZOOM EXTENTS
This zoom displays the drawing extents. If the drawings are small in the existing limits,
then there is an enlarging effect on the screen. If the drawing occupies the complete area of the
limits, then there are many not being much difference between ZOOM ALL and ZOOM
EXTENTS.

MTEXT
MTEXT creates paragraph that fit within a nonprinting text boundary. The user
specified text boundary determines the width of the paragraph and the justification of the text
within the paragraph. Each multiline text object is a single object, regardless of the number of
lines it contains.

PROPERTIES
The PROPERTIES command displays the Properties palette. The Properties palette is
the main method for viewing and modifying the properties of AutoCAD objects.

VPORTS
Viewports are areas that display different views of your model. As you work on the
Model tab, you can split the drawing area into one or more adjacent rectangular views known as
model space viewports. In large or complex drawings, displaying different views reduces the
time needed to zoom or pan in a single view. Also, errors you might miss in one view may be
apparent in the others.

24
EXTRUDE
Solids can be created by extruding selected objects. Use the EXTRUDE command to
create a solid or surface from a common profile of an object.

REVOLVE
REVOLVE command can create a solid or surface by revolving open or closed objects
about an axis. The revolved objects define the profile of the solid or surface.

PYRAMID
This command can create a solid pyramid. The number of sides for a pyramid, from 3 to
32, can be defined. The axis endpoint defines the length and orientation of the pyramid.

CREATE LAYOUTS
A layout stimulates a sheet of paper and provides a predictable plotting setup for a
layout, you can create and position view post objects and you can add a title block or other
objects geometry.

PLOT DRAWINGS
Once you have completed a drawing you can plot the drawing on paper or create a file
for use with another application. In either case, you select the plot settings.
