Chapter 1:
(Autodesk Introduction)

Autodesk, Inc. is an American multinational software corpo-

ration that makes software for the architecture, engineering,
construction, manufacturing, media, and entertainment in-
dustries. Autodesk is headquartered in San Rafael, Califor-
nia, and features a gallery of its customers' work in its San
Francisco building.

Autodesk software has been used in many fields, from the

New York Freedom Tower to Tesla electric cars. Autodesk
became best known for AutoCAD but now develops a broad
range of software for design, engineering, and entertain-
ment as well as a line of software for consumers, including
Sketchbook, Homestyler, and Pixlr. The company makes
educational versions of its software available at no cost to
qualified students and faculty through the Autodesk Educa-
tion Community, and also as a donation to eligible nonprofits
through TechSoup Global. Autodesk's digital prototyping
software, including Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, and the
Autodesk Product Design Suite, are used in the manufactur-
ing industry to visualize, simulate, and
analyze real-world performance using a digital model during
the design process.

Autodesk - History

Autodesk's first notable product was AutoCAD, a computer-

aided design application designed to run on the systems
known as "microcomputers" at the time, including those
running the 8-bit CP/M operating system and two of the new
16-bit systems, the Victor 9000 and the IBM Personal Com-
puter (PC). This tool allowed users to create detailed techni-
cal drawings and was affordable to the much smaller de-
sign, engineering, and architecture companies. Release 2.1
of AutoCAD, released in 1986, included AutoLISP, a built-in
Lisp programming language interpreter initially based on
XLISP. This opened the door for third-party developers to
extend AutoCAD's functionality, to address a wide range of
vertical markets, strengthening AutoCAD's market penetra-
tion.

After AutoCAD Release 13, the company stopped support-

ing the Unix environment and the Apple Macintosh platform.
After AutoCAD Release 14 (R13 was the last DOS & Unix
release), first shipped in 1997, Autodesk discontinued de-
velopment under DOS and focused exclusively on Microsoft
Windows. AutoCAD has grown to become the most widely
used CAD program for 2D nonspecialized applications. The
native file formats written by AutoCAD, DXF, and DWG, are
also widely used for CAD data interoperability.

1. Introduction

AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD)

and drafting software application. Developed and marketed
by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in December 1982
as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal
graphics controllers. Before the introduction of AutoCAD,
most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe comput-
ers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) work-
ing at a separate graphics terminal. Since 2010, AutoCAD
was released as a mobile- and web app as well, marketed
as AutoCAD 360.

2. Autocad Window

Once the AutoCAD 2014 window is active, it should appear

as shown in the image shown below. However, if you look at
the upper left-hand corner there is a button with the letter
(A) written in red. That is called the application menu of the
AutoCAD software.

1 Application Menu

This provides the user with file options like save, open, print.
 6

2 Ribbon

This is a collection of tool panels representing groups of

tools and features where you will be selecting tools to draw,
edit, or perform other functions.

3 Drawing Area

This is a virtual sheet or modeling environment where your

designs appear. It is a boundless area on which your de-
signs are created on a 1:1 scale regardless of their actual
life-size. The drawing area is also called the canvas.

4 UCS

UCS stands for User Coordinate System. In the lower-left

corner of the drawing area, you see an L-shaped arrow. This
is the UCS icon, which tells you your orientation in the draw-
ing. This icon becomes helpful as you start to work with
complex 2D drawings and 3D models.

5 Command Window

It's located just below the drawing area. As you type in

commands on the command line or pick commands on the
ribbon panels, a message is displayed on the command
window telling you what to do next.

3. Selecting the workspace

A workspace is a task-oriented drawing environment-orient-

ed in such a way as to provide you with only the tools and
interface elements necessary to accomplish the tasks rele-
vant to that environment. You can switch between work-
spaces by using the Workspace Switching Tool. You can
also customize the workspace the way you want and then
save it. It will be appearing on the list of workspaces during
switching and you can select it as an option.

4. Drawing Units

The format, precision, and other settings used to display co-

ordinates, distances, and angles are set through this dialog
box and are saved in the current drawing. It is recommend-
ed that you save these settings to your drawing template
files to reduce your setup time when you start a new draw-
ing. The Drawing Units dialog box is displayed. Enter -units
at the Command prompt to display options.

5. Toolbars

Toolbars including Draw , Modify ,Hatch , Block ,Text and

Dimension are basics on any drawing to complete.

1 Draw - It includes drawing circle , rectangle , line , polyline

and ellipse.

2 Hatch - It is used to shade the drawing to represent differ-

ent components of plan.

3 Block - Blocks are named as group of objects used in 2D

or 3D drawing. You can use them to create repeated con-
tent, such as drawing symbols, common components and
standard details.

4 Modify - It performs operation such as erase,trim,fillet ,

chamfer, mirror, offset, array,move,copy and rotate etc .
 9

5 Text - single line text and multiline text are used to input
text in the drawing.

6 Dimension - Dimensioning of drawing is done by setting its

approriate units .

7. Isometric Drawing

AutoCAD has a command called Isoplane which allows you

to easily draw at a 30 degree angle as needed for an iso-
metric drawing. You can switch between the three 'iso-
planes' (top, right, left).

There are a couple of ways to turn on Isodraft to allow for

isometric drawings.Just click on the Isodraft icon on the Sta-
tus Bar to toggle it on or off. Click the small down arrow just
to its right to choose your isoplane mode.

8. 3D Drawing

3D solid primitives are standard shapes that are provided

among the ribbon options on the 3D modeling workspace.
They include box, wedge, cone, cylinder, sphere, pyramid,
and torus.

Box: Box command on the toolbar modeling is used to draw

3D models such as cubes and blocks. Creates a box with
sides of equal length.

Cylinder: The cylinder was created using a center point (1),

a point on the radius (2), and a point for the height (3). The
base of the cylinder is always on a plane parallel with the
workplace.
 13

Union: Combines two or more 3D solids, surfaces, or 2D re-

gions into a single, composite 3D solid, surface, or region.
Select two or more objects of the same
type to combine.

Subtract: Creates a new object by subtracting one overlap-

ping region or 3D solid from another. Obiects in the second
selection set are subtracted from objects in the first selec-
tion set . A single new 3D solid or surface is created.

Extrude : Extract 3D object from 2D surface.

 14

9.Printing And Plotting

Output a drawing layout to a printer, a plotter, or a file. Save

and restore the printer settings for each layout. Originally,
people printed text from printers and plotted drawings from
plotters. Now, you can do both with either.

For convenience, you can save and restore collections of

these settings by name. These are called page setups. With
page setups, you can store the settings that you need for
different printers, printing in gray scales, creating a PDF file
from your drawing, and so on.

Chapter 3 :
(Conclusions)

The use of AutoCAD has many advantages. It can help to

reduce the time it takes to produce the drawing needed in
the work environment. AutoCAD software is the most amaz-
ing range of mechanical computer-aided design tools. It is
now considered to be the best according to industry stan-
dards that can be obtained for a wide array of designing,
Mechanical Engineering Services, and other industrial pur-
poses. The use of AutoCAD may also be relied on heavily to
create efficiencies within the industries.

We explored different materials ranging from text, tutorials,

and Youtube videos so as get to grips with the finer details
of mastering AutoCAD. We were guided by the fact that
there is more to learning AutoCAD than drawing simple fig-
ures and lines. It has very vast applications in the field of
manufacturing, architecture, electrical, and many more. The
company Autodesk provides a wide range of applications
and software which reduces the effort to create complex
drawings and easy to maintain. With the help of AutoCAD,
we can create designs very quickly. It improves the quality
of the drawing which we can't get by hand drafting. With the
help of this software,drawing can be easily modified when-
ever wanted which reduces the human effort. We can easily
transfer files from one place to another in no time which re-
duces the time.

This software is utilized to provide some useful and practical

designing software that will allow users to visualize as well
as create prototypes of a product in reality and quick time.
