    Nazar Ahmed
    This document provides an introduction to modifying commands in AutoCAD including move, copy, rotate, mirror, trim, extend, fillet, and chamfer. It describes how to use each command and the steps involved. For example, to move an object the user selects the object, specifies a base point, and drags the object to a new location. Homework and classwork exercises are also outlined to help students practice these modifying commands.

    Modifying commands
    ● Move: This command moves an object or any number of
    selected objects from one place to another. Objects are
    chosen in the same way as if they were being deleted, then
    a base point is selected and the objects are moved to the
    new location.

    • (1) Select the object to be moved


    • (2) Specify the base point for the move followed
    • (3) A second point
    Modifying commands
    ● Copy: The COPY command creates a duplicate set of the objects
    selected. The COPY command is similar to the MOVE command. You
    must select the objects to be copied, select a base point, and a new
    location that you want to copy objects to. The difference is, the Move
    command merely moves the objects to a new location. The Copy
    command makes a copy and you select the location for the new copy.

    • You can also copy paste objects by selecting objects and right-clicking
    on them. It will save objects in clipboard and allows you to copy things
    from one file to another. Select “copy with base point” to copy things
    between files at precise locations.
    Modifying commands
    ● Rotate: This command will rotate an object or group of objects.
    The user must select the object(s) and a base point. After these are
    chosen, the user can type in an angle of rotation or rotate the object(s)
    manually using the mouse.

    • (1), Select the objects


    • (2), specify a base point and specify an angle of rotation (3).

    • Rotate an Object to an Absolute Angle: you can rotate an object to align it to an


    absolute angle.
    - Select the objects to be rotated (1, 2).
    - Specify the base point (3), and enter the Reference option.
    - For the reference angle, specify the two endpoints of the diagonal line (4, 5).
    - Enter the new angle, 90.
    Modifying commands
    ● Mirror : The MIRROR command allows you to flip objects about a
    specified axis to create a symmetrical mirror image.

    • Mirroring is useful for creating symmetrical objects because you can quickly
    • draw half the object and then mirror it instead of drawing the entire object.

    • You flip objects about an axis called a mirror line to create a mirror image. To
    specify this temporary mirror line, you enter two points. You can choose
    whether to erase or retain the original objects.
    Modifying commands
    ● Trim: This command will cut intersecting lines. After the command
    is initiated, choose the line that will act as the “cutting edge,” then press
    Enter and select the part of the line that is to be cut.

    ● Extend: This command will connect a line to another line. After the
    command is initiated, select the surface that the line will extend to, then
    choose the line that is to be extended.

    ● NOTE You can extend objects without exiting the TRIM command. Press
    and hold Shift while selecting the objects to be extended.
    Modifying commands
    ● Fillet : A fillet connects two objects with an arc that is tangent to the
    objects and has a specified radius. After entering the fillet command, type r
    (for radius) and specify the fillet radius, then select the first and second
    lines. Fillet radius default is set for 0.000, so a radius must be entered.

    ● You can fillet arcs, circles, ellipses, lines, polylines, rays, and splines.
    ● If you set the fillet radius to 0, filleted objects are trimmed or extended until they
    intersect, but no arc is created.

    ● Control the Location of the Fillet Depending on the locations you


    specify, more than one possible fillet can exist between the selected
    objects. Compare the selection locations and resulting fillets in the
    illustrations.
    Modifying commands
    ● Chamfer: A chamfer connects two objects to meet in a flattened or
    beveled corner.
    • A chamfer connects two objects with an angled line. It is usually used
    to represent a beveled edge on a corner.
    • Use the Multiple option to chamfer more than one set of objects
    without leaving the command.
    • Chamfer by Specifying Distances: The chamfer distance is the amount
    each object is trimmed or extended to meet the chamfer line or to
    intersect the other. If both chamfer distances are 0, chamfering trims or
    extends the two objects until they intersect but does not create a chamfer
    line. You can press and hold Shift while selecting the objects to override
    the current chamfer distances with a value of 0.
