Unit 2 2.1 Geometrical Construction :
a)Draw Regular Polygons, Ellipse, Parabola, hyperbola
b) Draw Curve passing through given no. of points, cycloid, involute of a circle and polygon

Unit 3 3.1 Introduction to Orthographic Projection : Concept of First Angle & Third Angle of projection.
Projections of lines( limited to both ends in 1st quadrant) : parallel to the reference planes,
inclined to the reference planes (1st Angle Method)
3.2 Projections of solid body: Regular Polygonal Pyramid, Cylinder, Cone - inclined to only one
reference plane (1st Angle Method)
Unit 4 4.1 Conversion of Pictorial Views into orthographic views
(Simple Objects &First Angle Projection Method Only)

Unit 5 5.1 Introduction to Isometric Projections, Concept of Isometric Scale

and Isometric Views
5.2 Conversion of Orthographic views into Isometric Views/Projections : Simple Objects e.g. regular
prism, pyramid, cone, cylinder.
Unit 6 6.1 Free hand sketches of engineering elements such as thread profile, nuts, bolts,
studs, set screws, washers, locking arrangements etc. and their conventional
representation (For branches other than Mechanical Engineering, the teachers
should select branch specific elements for free hand sketching)

Unit 7 7.1 Introduction to different commands and toolbars of AutoCAD

a) Draw command : Lines, Circle, Polygon, Arc, Ellipse, Polyline, Fillet, Chamfer,
Hatch, Array (Rectangular & Polar) etc.
b) Modify Command : Offset, Trim, Extend, Erase, Fillet, Chamfer, Break, Lengthen,
Copy, Move, Mirror, Stretch, Match Properties, Pedit etc.
c) View : Zoom All, Zoom Window, Zoom Extent etc.
d) Dimensioning : Dimension Setting, Linear, Aligned, Radial, Diameter, Leader,
Angular etc.
c) Text : Text Style, Dtext, Mtext, DDedit etc.
d) Format : Limits, Layers, Pan etc.
7.2 Making a few simple 2D drawings in AutoCAD.
