1. What is Autocad?

AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) software program developed

and marketed by Autodesk. It can be used in many different industries
such as architecture, engineering, civil construction, manufacturing, and
product design.

AutoCAD provides a platform for creating and editing two-dimensional

(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) models.
2. What is the file extension of AutoCAD drawing files?

AutoCAD files come out with .dwg extension.

3. What is the purpose of the 'ARRAY' command in AutoCAD?

The “ARRAY” command in AutoCAD allows you to create multiple copies

of objects in a specified pattern or arrangement.
4. How can you zoom in and out in AutoCAD?

You can zoom in and out in AutoCAD by using the scroll wheel of the
mouse or by using the “ZOOM” command and specifying a magnification
factor.
5. What is the purpose of layers in AutoCAD?

Layers in AutoCAD are used to organize and control the visibility and
properties of objects in a drawing.
6. What is the function of the 'OSNAP' command in AutoCAD?

The “OSNAP” command in AutoCAD allows you to specify precise points

or object snaps for accurate drawing.
7. What is the purpose of the 'OFFSET' command in AutoCAD?

The “OFFSET” command in AutoCAD is used to create a parallel copy of

an existing object at a specified distance.
8. How can you erase an object in AutoCAD?

You can erase an object in AutoCAD by using the “ERASE” command and
selecting the object(s) you want to remove.

9.What is the purpose of the "Fillet" and "Chamfer" commands in

AutoCAD?
• "Fillet" rounds the corners of two intersecting lines, while "Chamfer"
creates beveled corners between two lines.
•
10.How do you create a dimension in AutoCAD, and what types of
dimensions are available?
• To create dimensions, you can use the "DIM" command. Available
dimension types include linear, angular, radial, and more.

11.How do you create a line in AutoCAD, and what is the keyboard shortcut for it?
• To create a line, you can use the "LINE" command. The keyboard shortcut is "L."

Different Coordinates Systems:

• Absolute Cartesian Coordinates:
• Syntax: X, Y
• Example: 3, 4 (Represents a point with an X-coordinate of 3 units and a Y-
coordinate of 4 units).
• Relative Cartesian Coordinates:
• Syntax: @X, Y
• Example: @2, 3 (Moves 2 units to the right and 3 units up from the current
position).
• Polar Coordinates:
• Syntax: @distance<angle
• Example: @5<45 (Moves 5 units at a 45-degree angle from the current position).
SCALES

• Enlarge Scale (e.g., Enlarge by a factor of 2):

• Notation: X:1
• Meaning: This notation specifies an enlargement scale where objects are twice as
large as their original size. For example, X:2 would make objects twice as large.
• Full Size Scale (1:1 Scale):
• Notation: 1:1
• Meaning: A 1:1 scale means objects are displayed or printed at their actual size, with
no enlargement or reduction. Each unit in the drawing represents one unit in the
real world.
• Reduce Scale (e.g., Reduce by a factor of 0.5):
• Notation: 1:X

Here are some important AutoCAD commands, along with their functions and keyboard
shortcuts (if available):
• LINE (Shortcut: L):
• Creates straight line segments.

• TRIM (Shortcut: TR or TRIM):

• Shortens lines or arcs to meet another object.

• OFFSET (Shortcut: O):

• Creates a parallel copy of a line or curve.
