  1. AUTOCAD ACT AN ACADEMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION

  2. WHAT IS AUTOCAD ? • AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design or Computer Aided Drafting) software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting. It is developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc. First released in December 1982, AutoCAD was one of the first CAD programs to run on personal computers. • AutoCAD is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program used by just about every Engineering and Design office in the world. Although there are alternative CAD packages, AutoCAD is by far the most widely used system. Autodesk's AutoCAD is the industry leader in CAD packages. Used by Civil Engineers, Architects, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, Aeronautical Engineers plus many other disciplines. There have been several versions of Autocad over the years, with each new version introducing new and more powerful features than its predecessor Here comes your footer  Page 2

  3. WHAT IS CAD? • Computer aided design is a creative design process that is based on a computer system. It can be either hardware or software based; however, it is usually a software based program that is used for design purposes. This design process uses computer technology to assist certain types of professionals in the design and drawing of technical drawings. Computer aided design is also referred to as CAD or Computer aided drafting. Here comes your footer  Page 3

  5. Drawing Area • The large area in the center of the screen. • This is where you draw. • The size can be changed at any time. Model • Switches your drawing between paper space and model space. Here comes your footer  Page 5

  6. CrossHairs/ Cursor • The movement is controlled by the movement of the pointing device (mouse). • Use to locate points, make selections and draw objects. Here comes your footer  Page 6

  7. Command Line • The three lines at the bottom of the screen. • This is where you enter commands and AutoCAD will prompt you to input information. • The number of lines visible can be changed. Here comes your footer  Page 7

  8. Status Bar • Displays your content settings • The settings can be turned on/off by clicking on the word (SNAP, GRID, ORTHO, etc) or by pressing the function keys associated with each. Here comes your footer  Page 8

  9. 2. Introducing Tool BarsYou can see there is a number of different tool bars on the screen. The main tool bar which is located under the Menu bar. These are the most frequently used tool bars. If you place your mouse on it and right click, you will get a list of other tool bars that you may want to display (by scrolling down and clicking on them). This tool bar offers different shapes and objects to draw. You can see what they do by putting your mouse on each one and waiting until a balloon with description pops up. This tool bar offers different ways of editing your drawing(s). *Remember the name of the command that pops up in the help balloon by putting your mouse over each button. If you remember the command, you can later type it in the command line and achieve the same result. Here comes your footer  Page 9

  10. Toolbars There are many toolbars available in AutoCAD. Go to View > Toolbars from the drop down menu to see them all. For now make sure that the following toolbars are checked:Draw - Contains AutoCADs most common drawing tools Modify - Contains all of the common editing commands such as erase, copy etc.Object Properties - Contains 'layer' information as well as object colours and line style options.Standard Toolbar - Contains open & save options as well as zoom & pan options.Object Snap - AutoCAD's intelligent drawing aid - joins lines at specific points. Here comes your footer  Page 10

  11. CAD Coordinate System • Any point in CAD can be located precisely using X, Y and Z coordinates. • The Cartesian coordinate system has three axes: X, Y, and Z that intersect at the origin (0,0,0). • Coordinate values are always expressed as: (X, Y, Z) ANGLES in CAD: Coordinates in CAD: Here comes your footer  Page 11

  12. There is only 3 AutoCAD coordinates system you should know. Absolute coordinates Relative coordinates Polar coordinates. AutoCAD Coordinates System Here comes your footer  Page 12

  13. Absolute Coordinates • All input points specify in your drawing using standard Cartesian coordinates x and y. Using absolute coordinate, points entered by typing x,y [Enter] Here comes your footer  Page 13

  14. Relative Coordinates • After first points entered, your next points can be entered by specifying the next coordinate compare/relative from the first points. The relative coordinate started with symbol “@” tell AutoCAD it was a relative coordinates. Using relative coordinate, points entered by typing @x,y [Enter] Here comes your footer  Page 14

  15. Polar Coordinates • Polar coordinates used when you need to draw the next points at specify angle. Polar coordinates system in AutoCAD specifies distance length at which angle. Using polar coordinate, points entered by typing @distance<angle [Enter] Here comes your footer  Page 15

  16. Function Keys • F1 HELP • F2 FLIPSCREEN • F3 OSNAP • F4 TABLET • F5 ISOPLANE • F6 COORDINATE DISPLAY • F7 GRID • F8 ORTHO • F9 SNAP • F10 POLAR • F11 OTRACK Here comes your footer  Page 16

  17. Special Function Keys • ESC- Cancels the current command, menu, or dialog box. • ENTER- Ends a command; or will repeat the previous command if the command line is blank • SPACE BAR- Same as the end key except when entering text. Here comes your footer  Page 17

  18. Coordinate Display (F6) • In the ABSOLUTE mode: Displays the location of the crosshairs/ cursor in reference to the origin. The first number represents the horizontal (x axis) and the second number represents the vertical (y axis). • In RELATIVE POLAR mode: displays the distance and angle of the cursor from the last point entered. Here comes your footer  Page 18

  19. SNAP (F9) • Increment Snap controls the movement of the cursor. If it is off the cursor will move smoothly. If it is ON, the cursor will jump in an incremental movement. The increment spacing can be changed, at any time using TOOLS/DRAFTING SETTINGS. The default spacing is .250 Here comes your footer  Page 19

  20. GRID (F7) • The grid is merely a visual “drawing aid”. The default spacing is 1 unit. You may change the grid spacing at any time using: TOOLS/DRAFTING SETTINGS. ORTHO (F8) • When ORTHO is ON, the cursor movement is restricted to horizontal or vertical. When ORTHO is OFF, the cursor is free to move. Here comes your footer  Page 20

  21. POLAR (F10) • POLAR TRACKING creates “alignment paths” at specified angles. OSNAP (F3) • RUNNING OBJECT SNAP- specific object snaps can be set to stay active until you turn them off. OTRACK (F11) • OBJECT SNAP TRACKING creates “alignment paths” at precise positions using object snap locations. Here comes your footer  Page 21

  27. Important commands which used for making drawings • 29. Dimension - Now we will study about dimension of the drawing, it is very important that every drawing should have dimensions so that you can get information about the sizes of drawing. You can choose dimension from Dimension Toolbar let us study one by one: • Linear dimension-This command is used for the dimensions of straight lines. • Angular dimension- This command is used for the dimensions of angles between two lines or the angle of arcs and circles. • Radius Dimension - This command is used to give the radius of the circles and arc. • Diameter Dimension - this option is used to give the diameter of the circles and arc. • Centre mark - This command is used to mark the centre of the circles and arc. • Quick leader - This command is used to specify the notes for anything, click on this sign • Dimension style – you can change dimension style of dimensions, you can give more than one style to your dimensions for this you have to click on Format than choose dimension style or you can just write Dimstyle at command prompt a box will appear, you can create new styles, sets the current style, modifies styles, sets overrides on the current style • Current Dim style – it Display the current dimension style. AutoCAD assigns this style to all dimensions. If you do not change the current style, AutoCAD assigns the default STANDARD style to dimensions. Here comes your footer  Page 27

  28. Important commands which used for making drawings • 30. Layer – This command is very useful. We have do lot of work in one drawing for e.g. if make a plan for the house than we have to give dimensions, furniture position, electrical lining, plumbing and many more we cannot each every time erase this work for the printout so we do all the work in layers. For each and every work make different layer. Choose from format – LAYER or you can write Layer on command prompt a box will appear with all the layer it have if you want to make the new layer than click the right button of your mouse many options will appear choose New Layer - a box with cursor will appear change the name according to you requirement. You can also change the color, line type and line weight of your layer from this box. • On- bulb sign is used to make on off the layer; layer will disappear from the screen.Freeze- sign is used to freeze the layer; layer will disappear from the screen.Lock- lock sign is used to lock the layer, if the layer is lock than you cannot do any work in it. • By default 0 layer is current that means all the work you done is saved in this layer but if you want to do dimensions than make dimension layer and set it current. if you want to make the new layer current click the right button of your mouse many options will appear choose set current. Now if you do not want this layer to be shown in printing make it freeze.(P.S. You can operate you layer from layers toolbar also) Here comes your footer  Page 28
