This document provides an overview of basic commands in engineering graphics software, including commands to draw lines, polygons, rectangles, arcs, circles, splines, ellipses, points, hatches, text, modify objects, erase, copy, mirror, offset, array, move, rotate, trim, extend, break, chamfer, and fillet. It also describes commands to change entities, measure, edit with parametric design, and set the dimension style. Drawing aids like coordinate display, grids, orthogonality, and snapping are also covered, along with tips on using the software and guidelines for line colors.

Drawing aids are control modes which are operated by function
key.
F1 Flip between graphic & text screen
F6 Coordinate ON/OFF
F7 Grid ON/OFF
F8 Ortho ON/OFF
F9 Snap ON/OFF Some tips……..
• Missing command line – CTRL+9
• Snap is not working properly :
• Check griddisplay and set to zero • Point is not displayed: • Check PDMODE and set to 3 • Using F1 in case of doubt • To come out of a command: ESC BITS F110 Lecture 2 Basic Commands BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Types of lines and Colors to be followed
