AutoCAD : -
Autocad mean’s automatic computer aided design.
AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design and
drafting software application. Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was
first released in December 1982.
It is a computer application, used for creating 2d
and 3d design.
Difference between 2D & 3D:- In
2D drawing we use for 2 dimension (Length & Width ) But in 3D drawing we
use for 3 dimension (Length ,Width & Height/Thickness, Depth )
Engineering Drawing : - It
is the graphical language use by engineers of architects, civil, mechanical
engineers etc. to convey represent their design.
Unit Command :- (Un enter)
For measurement purpose such as for length units
are used Millimeter,Centimeter,Inch and Feet etc.
Dimension Styles:- It
is the formatting of dimension’s to be display.
(D enter) > Go to Modify > Set the
formate
1-
Line
a)
Dimension line
color= magenta
b)
Extension line
color = grey
c)
Extend beyond dim.
Line =1.25
d)
Offset from origin
= 1.50
2-
Symbol
& Arrows
a) Arrows size = 2
b) Arrows format = Closed filled
3-
Text
a) Text height = 2
b) Text
color = green
c) Text placement –vertical = above
d) Offset from dim. Line = 0.5
e) ISO Standard
4-
Scale
a)
Scale = 2 or more
5-
Primary
Unit Decimal
a)
Unit format =
Decimal or Your Choice
b)
Precision = 0 , 0.0
or more
Edit the more option in this dialog box as a
situation according you.
Click OK then Set Current. Close the dialog box.
Co-ordinate system:- It is use to locate/create any object/point within
drawing with respect to UCS(User Co-ordinate System)
In AutoCAD we use three type of Co-ordinate
system.
a) Absolute Co-ordinate system (x,y)
b) Relative rectangular Co-ordinate system (@x,y)
c) Relative Polar Co-ordinate system (@dimension<angle)
Limits (Limit enter):- It is used for specify fix
the region for drawing creation.
Workspace:-
It is the space available for creating a design.
Command Line ( Ctrl + 9) :- It
is show the commands being used to create the design.
UCS (User Co-ordinate System) :- Icon
display used to show the virtual reference of an object by using Co-ordinates.
Cross Hair: -
It is the cursor used to create design.
Standard Toolbar: - Top most toolbar consist of standard toolbar.
Status Bar : - Bottom most toolbar consist of various modes to be
used in design creation.
Draw Tool Bar: - Left vertical tool bar consist of drawing tools.
Status Bar : - Bottom most tool
bar consist of various mode to use in design creation.
Draw Tool Bar : - Left
vertical toolbar consist of drawing tools.
Modify Tool Bar : - Right vertical toolbar consist of modification
tools.
Calculator (Ctrl + 8)
: - Show the veridical scientific calculator use for calculation.
Snap ( F9) : - Used to
control the movement of cross hair via point X,Y coordinates.
Grid (F7) : - Used to control
the display of grid on the workspace.
Ortho Mode (F8) : - Used to control the alignment of object. It
allows the free movement of object only on quadrants (0,90,180,270,360).
Polar Tracking (F10) : -
Used to track the angle. We have to set the increment angle for tracking.
Object Snap (F3) : - Used
to Show/enable the snap point of objects such as Endpoint ,Midpoint and Center point
etc.
Object Snap Tracking (F11) : -
Used to track the vertical snap point of object such as intersaction point of
the two object.
Dynamic Input (F12) : -
Used to enable the dynamic input. It show the dimension and angle which can be
changed. To switch from dimension to Angle ‘Tab’ key will be used.
LWT : - Used to show/hide
the Line weight/thickness . More Update Coming soon
