Introduction To AutoCAD ‫ﻣﻘﺪﻣﺔ‬

AutoCAD is a computer-aided design program
,‫ ھﻮ ﺑﺮﻧﺎﻣﺞ رﺳﻢ ھﻨﺪﺳﻲ ﺑﻤﺴﺎﻋﺪة اﻟﺤﺎﺳﻮب‬AutoCAD
(CAD) used for 2-D and 3-D design and drafting.

AutoCAD is developed and marketed by

Learning to use a CAD system is like to learning
a new language. It is necessary to begin with the

and effectively through practice. This will ‫ﺻﺤﯿﺢ وﻓ ّﻌﺎل ﻣﻦ ﺧﻼل اﻟﺘﻄﺒﯿﻖ اﻟﻌﻤﻠﻲ ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﺒﺮﻧﺎﻣﺞ وھﺬا‬

 Draw Commands in AutoCAD

1. Line
line in AutoCAD can be drawn as follow:

Command Line Line or L

Menu Bar Draw Line
Draw Bar

When select line command, programme requires specify first point, display in command line:
1. Specify first Point:
2. Specify next point or [Undo]:
3. Specify next point or[Close/Undo]:
Note:
 close, C : this option close series of lines, connect first point with last point by line.
 Undo, U : enter U for undo. AutoCAD back up one segment, undoing it so that you
can recreate it.
2. Rectangle

Specify other corner Point:
1. Chamfer, C : the chamfer command enables to place a chamfer at the rectangle
corner
Specify first chamfer distance for rectangles<0.000>: in x direction

is zero layer which created by AutoCAD Automatically when open new drawing.
Appeared in new raw name of new layer we can change it to objective name to easily
access to layer we need. such as wall, column, steel, ground.
• To determine layer color click on black square under address (color) in new raw color
window appear select from it appropriate color.
• To determine line style click on (continuous) in new raw under address (line type),
window appear, select from it appropriate line type. click on (load) to appear more line
types.
• To determine line weight used for drawing objects click (default) under address (line
weight) then select weight we need from the window that appear.
• Repeat the operation for other layers then click (ok).

Layers Managements
Select drawing layer to be activate.
1. Click on manager Layer List.
