What is Auto-CAD ?

CAD = Computer Aided Design Follows your instructions Quickly produces the exact drg. you want, or You would draw them manually

What are features of Auto-CAD?

To correct drgs. error easily To make revision without re-doing the entire work To display information about the drg. To let you modify the drg. in a variety of ways To plot any drg. very easily To provides a set of entities for use in constructing drg. It produces clean, precise final drg. It can improves accuracy It works for you

Command : Single point/ Multiple point/ Divide/ Measure Single point : Draw single point as specified Multiple Point Specify a point Go on drawing points. No need of going to single point command Divide Select object to divide: suppose a line Enter no of segments or [Block] 5 (let ) Result it will divide line into 5 equal parts. Measure Select object to measure: line (let) Specify length of segment or [Block] 2(let) Result it measures 2 units and divides the line segments

Draw - Ray
Creates a semi infinity line Ray creates semi-infinite lines commonly used as construction lines. A ray has a finite starting point and extends to infinity. From the Draw toolbar, choose the Ray fly out or At the command prompt , enter Ray From point: specify a point(1) Through point :specify the point (2)through which you want the ray to pass or Enter. Auto CAD draws a ray & continues to prompt for through pts, enabling you to creates multiple rays. Press ENTER to End Command.

Draw Construction Line

Creates a infinity line Similar to ray It has a finite Start point & extends to infinite (both sides) From the Draw toolbar, choose the construction line fly out or At the command prompt , enter Construction line From point: Specify a point(1) Through point: Specify the point (2) through which you want the Construction line to pass or Enter.

Creates a block definition from a set of objects Command :  Block  Make Select objects Pick Points OK Names the block Note: Block names can be up to 31 character In length. And can contain letters, digits, and the special characters dollar sign($), hyphen(-) and underscore(_).

Draw - Hatch
Fills a selected pattern to a defined boundary Used to marked/ identify an object It is a single identity Command : Hatch or select hatch fly out  Select desired pattern  Define scale  Define angle Select objects, or Pick Points OK

Draw - Boundary

Pick points: Determine a boundary from existing objects that form an enclosed area. If Island Detection is enable in the advanced option dialog box , AutoCAD detects objects within the Outer most boundary as island that are hatched as specified by the Hatch style. The boundary hatch dialog box disappears and auto CAD prompts for points specification. Select internal point: specify a new point with the area to be hatched.

Modify Commands & their features

Describe the command you will use to Modify or Edit your drg. Using this command one can (Modify) : Erase objects you have drawn Retrieve objects you erase inadvertently Move object to other location Make copy/multiple copy Rotate, Enlarge or shrink objects Create mirror image of existing object Change the properties (layer, color, etc.) of object Break the existing object Trim or extend objects Creates fillets or chamfers Divide one object into equal part Explode a block or Polyline Draw the lines || to existing one Reverse (Undo) the effect of most drawing & editing commands, etc.

Entity Selection (Selection Set)

Object selection: (Select object) (Point)= one object Multiple= Multiple object selected Last= last object Previous= All objects in previous selection set Window=Object within windows Crossing=Object within or crossing window Box=automatic crossing Auto=automatic boxing Single= One selection (any type) Add=add mode Remove=remove mode Undo=Undo remove last ~When you are satisfied with the selection set, Enter Return

Modify - Erase

Lets you specify entities that you want permanently removed from the drawing. Command: ERASE Select object: L/W/C After selection is over, confirm/ press enter (Note.: OOPS command can be used to retrieve the last thing your erased)

Modify - Move
To move one and more entities from their present location in a drawing to a new one without changing their orientation and size Command: MOVE Select object (Show what to move): L/W/C/. Base point of displacement : Specify 1st point 2nd point of displacement : Specify 2nd Point Result

Modify - Copy
To copy exiting objects, enter the copy command It is similar to move command but it places copies of the selected object at the specified displacement, leaving the original intact. Copies are oriented and scaled the same as the original. Command: Copy Select Objects : (Show what to copy) Base point of Displacement >/Multiple: Specify 1st point 2nd point of displacement: Specify 2nd point Multiple

Modify - Mirror
Make mirror images of exiting objects in drawing, either deleting or retaining the original object. Command: Mirror Select objects: Select the object/ objects 1st point of mirror line: Specify 1st Point 2nd point of mirror line : Specify 2nd Point Delete old object <N>: <Y or N> Result: Mirror of Text or Attributes To get ride of mirror image of text, use Mirror Text Command by using SETVAR Command Mirrtext = 0 (for errect) Mirrtext = 1 (invested)

Modify -Offset
Used to construct an entity parallel to another entity at either a specified distance or thro a specified point. Command: Offset Offset distance or through <last>: Select object to offset: Select object Thro Point: Specify point/ distance An example of offsetting a polyline using the Through point method is : (Note: Offsetting of an entity other than a line, Area circle or polyline is not possible)

Modify - Array
Allows you to make multiple copies of selected objects in a rectangular or polar (circular) pattern. Format : Array select object: Rectangular or polar (R/P): For RNo of column(+/-): No of Rows(+/-): Space between them: For P Center point of Array: No of items in Array: No of Degrees to fill: Angle between item in array:

Modify -Rotate
Move objects about a base point to a desired point From the modify toolbar, choose the rotate fly out, or At the command prompt, Enter Rotate Select objects: Use an object selection method Base point; Specify a Point(1) <Rotation angle>/ Reference: Specify an angle or enter R, or specify a point Result:

Modify - Scale

For Up-Arrow or Down-Arrow size of an object or objects as per requirement. Command: Scale Select object: Select Specify Base Point: specify as per requirement Specify scale factor or [reference]: 2 (let) Result: 2 times

Modify - Trim
Allows us to Trim/cut/erase part of existing object w.r.t. a define object in a drawing Command :Trim Select objects: Select Select object to trim: Select Result: Ex.:

Modify - Extend
Allows us to lengthen existing objects in a drawing so they end precisely at a boundary defined by one or more other objects in the drawing. Command: Extend Select objects: Select objects to extend: Result: Ex.:

Modify - Break
Erase (Deletes) part of live ,trace, circle, Arc or Polyline or splits the object into two object of same type. Command :Break Select object: Enter 1st point Enter 2nd point Result: Ex.:

Modify - Fillet
Connects two lines, arcs, or circles by means of a smoothly fitted are of a specified radius It adjusts the Length of the original lines or arcs, so they end exactly on the fillet arc. Command: FILLET Polyline/Radius/<select two object> Ex.:

Modify - Chamfer
Trim two intersecting lines a specified distance from the intersection and connects the trimmed ends with a new line segment. Its operation similar to FILLET Command: Chamfer Polyline /Distance/<select 1st line >:distance Chamfering two Lines Chamfering works by extending two selected lines, if necessary, until they intersect. It then trims the 1st line by the 1st chamfer distance, trims the 2nd line by 2nd chamfer distance and connects the trimmed ends with a straight line Ex.:

Modify - Stretch

For stretch a part of an object as per requirement. Command: Stretch Select object: select Again click the selected object Then stretch as per requirement Ex.:

Modify - Explode
