INTRODUCTION TO AutoCAD
INTRODUCTION:

Auto CAD is a software package popularly used for Computer Aided Drafting
(CAD). Using Auto CAD we can easily draw 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional
system modeling with the help of computer.

The package Auto CAD has been developed by Auto Desk Inc. an American
Company in the year 1982. After the release of the first edition, several editions,
alterations and modifications have been done. At present version-2000 available and
widely used.
Auto CAD is also available for engineering drawings, project planning and
simulation, different types of graphs, designs, ensuring a high degree of precision and
accuracy. Another main advantage is after drafting any drawing it can be edited,
copied and modified as many number of times as required. Using this package a lot of
repetitive tasks of the draftsman can be reduced.
Today’s CAD technology can provided the engineer / designer the necessary
help in the following ways.

1. Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) is faster and more accurate than conventional
methods.
2. The various construction facilities available in CAD would make the job of
developing the drawing very easy task.
3. In contrast the traditional drawing methods under CAD it is possible to manipulate
various dimensions attributes and distances of the drawing elements. This quality
makes CAD useful for design work.
4. Under CAD you will never have to repeat the drawing of any component. Once a
component has been made it can be copied in all further works within seconds.
5. You can accurately call the dimensions of various components interactively in
CAD, without actually making their models and profiles.
6. A modification of drawing is very easy and would make the designer task of
improving a given product simple to take care of any future requirements.
7. Use of standard components (parts libraries) makes for a very fast drawing work.
Also a large number of components and sub-assemblies may be stored in drawing
library to be reproduced and used later.
Several professional CAD packages provide 3-D capabilities so that the designer can
see the products being designed from several different views.
SETTING UP A DRAWING :

By double clicking the Auto CAD 14 Icon on your Windows Desktop, create New
Drawing Dialog Box appears. This dialog is convenient tool for setting up new
drawings. Click cancelin the create new drawing dialog box.

The Auto CAD program window is divided into five parts.

 Roll No: Page No:

 Pull down menu bar ;

 Docked and floating tool bars
 Drawing area
 Command window
 Status bar

Menu :
Auto CAD is menu driven system. And the number of menu commands
available are many. The menu items are made available through a large number of
options such as :

 Direct command entry

 Through the side bar menu
 Through the pop up windows from the top menu bar
 Through the bottom bars located in any portion of the screen.

PLANING FOR DRAWING :

Units :

This allows us to set up the units in which Auto CAD will work. Internally Auto CAD
would be working in default co-ordinates called drawing units, it is necessary to
define the internal representation of these units in recognizable form. This is achieved
by units command.

Auto CAD offers different types of units to work in the drawing. These are

1. SCIENTIFIC
2. DECIMAL
3. ENGINEERING
4. ARCHITECTURAL
5. METRIC
The fractional part of the dimensions can be displayed to any accuracy desired. For
example in the case of decimal, it is the number of places to be displayed or the
maximum fractional denominator to be used based on the user’s choice. The co-
ordinate display on screen would be modified.

This option also lets the user to specify the way the angles are specified.
The various options available are.

1. Decimal degrees
2. Degrees / Minutes / Seconds
3. Grade

Department of Mechanical Engineering AMRITA SAI INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

 Roll No: Page No:

4. Radius
5. Surveyor’s units.

The positive direction for the angle measurement is considered as counter clockwise
movement from the positive X-axis is also possible to change this to any that the user
finds convenient.

The units specification is simplified by a pop up window. Choose format > units.

CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM :

The co-ordinate system used by all the CAD packages is generally the rectangular
criterion co-ordinate system which follows right hand rule. Any point in the 3-
Dimension space is therefore designed by the co-ordinates values of these 3 axis (x, y,
z). The co-ordinates can be input into the system in a number of ways.

 By the direct input of co-ordinates values in their respective order x, y, z.

For example if input co-ordinates are given in x and y.

+Y
(100, 100) (200,
100)

Command : line < Enter> +X

From, point : 100, 100

To point : 200, 100

 It is also possible to specify the co-ordinates in an incremental format, as the

distances from the current cursor position in the drawing area. The distance is
specified by using the “@ “ parameter before the actual value.
Command : Line < Enter>

From point : 100, 100

To point : @ 100, 0

 It is also possible to specify the co-ordinates using the polar co-ordinate format.
Command : Line < Enter>

From point : 100, 100

To point : @ 100 < 0

It is also possible to move the cursor to the designated point in the drawing area by
clicking the mouse button. This directly selects the point in the drawing plane.

Limits :
It is generally necessary to specify the limits of the drawing that one is about to
make. The actual size of the drawing would have to be specified using the keyboard
limits are set with the idea of final drawing in mind.

Command : Limits

ON | OFF| < lower left corner>< -75.00, -50.00> : -25, -25 <Enter>

Upper right corner <450.00,300.00> : 350,300 <Enter>

Choose format > Drawing limits

Grid :
Working on a plain drawing area is difficult since there is no means for the
user to understand or correlate the relative positions or straightness of the various
objects made in the drawing. The Grid command controls the display of a grid of
alignment dots to assist in the placement of objects in the drawing.

Command : GRID

Grid spacing (x) or ON|OFF|SNAP/ASPECT <10.00 > 5 < Enter>

Tools > Drawing Aids

Snap :
The resolution of the cursor movement can be effectively controlled using the
snap command. This mode forces the cursor to step a specific distance. When the
cross hair (cursor) is moved in the drawing area it moves in increments of snap
spacing value specified.

Command : SNAP

Snap spacing or (ON|OFF|ASPECT|STYLE) : 5.0

Choose Tools > Drawing aids.

Ortho :
The ortho command allows to draw lines which are perpendicular to one
another. As a result all lines and traces drawn while this mode is ON are constrained
to be horizontal or vertical.

OBJECT PROPERTIES
All object in Auto CAD when created would have certain properties such as
color, line type, and the layer on which they would be residing. The default settings
would be visible in the object properties button bar as shown in

Line Type :
The line type command sets the line type for new entities. It can also load line
type definitions from a library file.
To select a new type of line like hidden, center line, you can choose Format>Line
type.
Now from the line type dialog box load the required line and make the selected line as
current.
Line Scale :

The LT scale command governs the global scale factor for line type dash lengths.
Color :

The color command sets the color for new entities.

Layers :

A layer is basically one which contains some information which can be

geometric and alpha numeric. The reason of distributing all the information present in
the drawing into various layers is that at any given time. Some of the layers can be
deleted from view (OFF) or can be made visible (ON). This helps in organizing the
information in a drawing.

The layers can be

Turned ON – A selected layer is made visible

Turned OFF – A selected layer is made invisible

Frozen – A selected layer is turned off resulting in tool operation and any
regenerations of the screen being specifies when working in other layers.

Thaweal- A frozen layer is turned back ON

Locked – Objects on a locked layer cannot be modified

Although further objects can be added to a locked layer unlocked – a locked

layer can be unlocked.

FILE HANDLING COMMANDS :

Save :

This option is used to save the drawing in the current version with all the corrections
and additions made. The drawing would be saved in the current name with an
extension .DWG. The AutoCAD would return back to the drawing mode after the
extension of SAVE.

Quit : The quit command exists the drawing editor without saving the update version
of the current drawing and returns to main menu.

End : The end command exits the drawing editor (after saving the updated version of
the current drawing) and returns to main menu.

Shell :The shell command temporarily exists the AutoCAD and returns to the drawing
editor after executing any single implicit OS command.

DISPLAY CONTROL COMMANDS :

Zoom:Zoom is used to change the scale of display. This can be used to magnify part
of the drawing to any higher scale for looking closely at some fine details in the
drawing.

There are large number of options available with in ZOOM.

Scale :A numeric zoom factor. A value less than 1 zooms out (reduction) and greater
than 1 zooms in (magnification)

All :Allows the entire drawing upto the limits to be displayed on screen.

Dynamic :Graphically selects any portion of the drawing as your next screen view,
but also sees what part of your file is generated and therefore appears fast.

Extents : Shows everything in file ignoring the limits

Left :Pick a lower left corner and height of how much drawing information you want
to display to fill up the screen.

Previous : Returns the last zoom setting

Window : Pick two points that define a rectangular window or describe what part of
the drawing file will be seen on the screen.

Redraw : As the drawing proceeds there are many times objects would made,
crushed, copied and manipulated. Sometimes this makes the screen cluttered with
unwanted lines which are not part of the drawing, but are present. To clear all these
things REDRAW command is used.

Pan : The Pan command allows to move the display window in any direction without
changing the display magnification.

BASIC GEOMETRIC COMMANDS :

The various entities that can be used for making an Auto CAD drawing in 2-D are as
follows.

 Point
 Line
 Circle
 Arc
Point :

It is used to specify a point or a node in the drawing for any given purpose for
example it can be used for center of circle or for starting point of a straight line.

The point co-ordinates can be input into the system in a number of ways.

 By the direct input of co-ordinate values in their respective order x, y and z.

 It is also possible to specify the co-ordinates in an incremental format from the
current cursor position in the drawing area.
 The distance is specified by using @ parameter between the actual values.
 It is also possible to specify the point co-ordinates using the polar co-ordinate
format. This is an extension of the incremental format shown above.
Line :

The line command allows you to draw straight lines.

(100,200)
0)

(0,0) (100, 0)

Command : Line
From point : 0,0< Enter>

To point : 100,0<Enter>

To point : 100,200 <Enter>

To point : close
The close option use the start point of the first line segment in the current line
command as the next point.

The above figure is drawn only by absolute program with reference to distance
specified. However the same can be done through the use of incremental
programming.

Circle :

The circle command is used to draw full circle, you can specify the circle in many
ways for specifying a circle we need atleast two values.

 Center point and Radius

 Center point and Diameter
 Two points on the circumference across diameter
 Three points on the circumference
 Tangential to two other already drawn entities and radius.
Command : Circle

Specify centre point for circle or (3p/2p/Ttr):100,100

Specify radius of circle or (diameter) : 50

Arc :

The arc command draws an arc as specified by any of the following methods.

 Three point on the arc

 Start point, center, end point
 Start point, center, included angle
 Start point, center, length of chord
 Start point, end point, radius
 Start point, end point, included angle
 Start point, end point, starting direction

MORE GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION FEATURES :

 Object Snap
 Poly lines
 Polygon
 Ellipse
 Do nut
 Text handling

Object Snap :
The snap command is useful for drawing a new object into the drawing by
itself. However it is often desired to have drawings made with relation to already
existing objects. In such situations the object snap facility available in AutoCAD is
quite useful. Sometimes it is required to start a line from an unknown precise tangent
point in a circle. In such cases all that the user may know is a specific area where the
tangent may be lying. Then by selecting the Onap systems the system would be able to
automatically calculate the tangent point in the region selected.

When Osnap is set on either with a left click on the Osnap button in the status
bar by pressing key F3.Osnap dialogue box consists of different options.

 Roll No: Page No:

Center :The point would be snapped to the center of a circle or an arc.

End point :End point of an object is selected as the snap point snaps to the nearest end
point of a line, arc, polyline, vertex, solid.

Insert :Insert point of text, symbol or a block is considered as the snap point.

Intersection :nearest intersection point of two objects found in the target box is the
snap point.

Mid point:Mid point of the object (line or arc) present in the target box is selected.

Perpendicular :Snaps to a point in the selected entity such that a perpendicular or line
be drawn from the last point.

Quadrant :Snaps to the closet 0,90,180 or 270 degrees point on the selected are or
circle.

Tangent :Snaps to a point on a circle or an arc so that a tangent is formed from the last
point. The last point can also be a tangent point on a circle or an arc.

Polylines:
Polylines are like composite line segments and arc. A polygon may look like a series
of line segments but it acts like a single object.

Polygon :
Polygon option allows to make polygons from 3 to 24 sides on the drawing.

INSCRIBE CIRCLE CIRCUMSCRIBE CIRCLE

Command : Polygon
Number of sides : 6

 By means of axis end points

 By means of center and axis end points
 By means of center and rotation

Command : Ellipse

Specify axis end point of elliptical arc or (center) : 20,230

Specify other end point of axis : 190,220

Specify distance to other axis or (rotation) : 40

Donut :The Donut command draws a filled circle or ring, the solid filling of donuts is
subject to fill mode. Donuts are normally used for making the terminal points in
printed circuit board drawings.

Text Handling :Auto CAD provides a large range of text entering capabilities
including various fonts and other text handling features.

EDITING A DRAWING :

Erase : The erase command allows you to delete selected entities from the current drawing.

Move : It is used to move one or more existing drawing entities from one location on to
another.

Copy : It is used to duplicate one or more existing drawing entities to another location
without erasing the original.

Chamfer : The chamfer command creates a bevel between two intersecting lines at a given
distance from their intersection.

Fillet : The fillet command connects two lines, arcs or circles with a smooth arc of specified
radius.

Offset : The offset command construct an entity parallel to another entity at either a specified
distance or through a specified point.

 Roll No: Page No:

Rotate : It is used to change the orientation of the objects around a base point which can be
located anywhere with respect to the existing objects.

Scale : This option is used to change the scale of the displayed objects in the drawing similar
for zoom.

Mirror : The mirror command allows you to mirror selected entities in your drawing. The
mirror line you designate is the axis about which the selected objects are mirrored. It may be
at any angle.

Array : The array command make multiple copies of selected objects.

Break :The break command deletes part of a line, circle , arc or polyline.

Trim : Trim is a method by which the objects can be trimmed with scissors so that the
unwanted portions of the objects can be removed.

Extend : The extend command allows you to lengthen exiting objects in a drawing so that
they are precisely at a boundary defined by one or more objects in the drawing.

Change : The change command allows you to modify or change the properties of existing
objects in the drawing.

Explode : The explode command replaces a block reference with copies of the simple entities
comprising the block for example a polyline is replaced by simple lines and arcs.

Divide :The divide command allows you to divide the entity into a specified number of equal
length parts placing markers along the objects at the dividing point.

Measure : The measure command allows you to measure the entity placing markers along the
object at interval of the specified distance.

Stretch : It allows a selected polygon of a drawing to move preserving the connections to the
others parts of the drawing.

Undo : The command UNDO is used for correcting any errors made in the editing process.

Oops : The OOPS command reinserts the object or objects that were deleted by the most
recent erase command.

Redo :If something is undo by mistake it can be rectified by REDO command.

DIMENSIONING AND SECTIONING A DRAWING

After creating the various views of the model or after preparing the drawing it is necessary to
add dimensions at the appropriate places.

DIMENSION VARIABLES:

While dimensioning the information to be specified is as follows.

Department of Mechanical Engineering AMRITA SAI INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

 Roll No: Page No:

 Where is the Dimension

 Where the dimension text should go
 How big and what style the text will be
 If tolerance range is to be included
 How big and what the arrows look like

These variables actually control the way the dimensions appear in the drawings.
AutoCad gives great control over the way dimensions may appear in the drawings.
The dimension style specification is opened through the popup window format.

Format > dimension style or from Dimension >Style. The dimension style Manager
dialogue box appears.

Each of the dimension style is further sub divided into the following three options.

 Geometry
 Format
 Annotation

Each of these can be further specified based on dimensions family or for all of them.
The dimension families are specified as follows:

 Linear
 Diameter
 Radial
 Angular
 Leader

The geometry options allow control of the extension and dimension lines and their
appearance.The format options allow control of the placement of dimension values.

The annotation option allows control of the textual and dimensions that appear
in the dimensions and the associated leaders.

DIMENSIONING METHODS

1.Set up the basic parameters for dimensioning. They are

 Arrow head type
 Arrow head size
 Extension line offset
 Placement of Dimension text

2.Arrow head size Extension line offsetattacement of Dimension text Identify what
you want to measure pick end points lines, arcs or circles or other points of existing
drawing entities using O snap if necessary..

3.Specify where the dimension line & text are to be located.

4.Approve the Auto CAD ‘s measurements as dimension text or type in your own text

LINEAR DIMENSIONS:

Horizontal: To enter the horizontal dimensions for horizontal lines.

70

Vertical : To enter the dimensions for vertical lines.

70

Aligned: Inclined dimensions parallel to the object. The dimension would be shown parallel
to the object which it self may be inclined at any angle.

90

Angular: For dimensioning between two non parallel lines. Allows angles to be shown less
than 180 deg.

45O

Diameter: This shows the diameter of an arc or a circle. The value would be shown inside
the circle if the size permits, otherwise it would be taken out with a leader size to be specified
by the user.

30

Radius:The value would be shown starting from the center of the arc or circle.

Tolerencing: Simple tolerencing of the dimensions in Auto CAD can be controlled through
the variable DIMTOL and other variables as explained before. For the more complex form
tolerances such as flatness, concentricity, roundness, parallelism etc., can also be specified
through the dimension style option

hatch patterns. The hatch option can be reached through the command line by typing
the command or through the button in the draw tool bar option. This opens the
boundary hatch dialogue box.

It is important to select the boundary with in which the hatch pattern should appear.
The selection can be made by the boundary objects suchP as Line, Arcs etc., Care
needs to be taken to see that the selected boundary is completely closed with no gap
any where. Also the selected object forming the boundary should not overlap or
project beyond. In some cases it may be a good idea to define a poly line passing
through all the vertices in a separate layer and then do the hatch.
