Introduction to AutoCAD: The term CAD (Computer Aided Design) that allows the user to create
drawings, plans, and designs. AutoCAD is one such program to create 2D and some 3D Drawings and it
is very popular.
Advantages of CAD:
1. Saves time: When you are using the computer-aided design software, it will save your time and
you can make better and more efficient designs in shorter time duration.
2. Easy to edit:. When you are using computer-aided design software, it will be much easier to
make any changes because you can fix the errors and modify the drawings easily.
3. Decrease in error percentage: CAD software makes use of some of the best tools, to reduce
percentage of error that occurred.
4. Decrease design effort: When it comes to the amount of effort that the software automates most
of the task.
5. Code re-use: As the entire task is carried out with the help of computer tools, it removes the
problem of duplication of labor, you can copy the different parts of code and design which can then
be reused multiple times over and over again.
6. Easy to share: The CAD tools make it easier to save the files and store that you can use it time
and again and send it.
7. Improved accuracy: There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that the kind of accuracy

SCALE: Enlarges or reduces selected objects, keeping the proportions of the object the same after
scaling.
Find
To scale an object, specify a base point and a scale factor. The base point acts as the centre of the
scaling operation and remains stationary. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the object. A scale factor
between 0 and 1 shrinks the object.The following prompts are displayed.
BLOCK: A static block is a virtual grouping that may contain models and other block lists. A dynamic
block usually contains combinations of lines, curves, surfaces and solid. The major difference between
dynamic and static blocks is the methods with which they are inserted or created.
1. Open the block in the Block Editor.
2. In the Block Editor, make sure nothing is selected.
3. In the Properties palette (Ctrl+1), under Block, select the Allow Exploding option.

ATTRIBUTE: An attribute is a label or tag that attaches data to a block. Examples of data that might be
contained in an attribute are part numbers, prices, comments, and owners' names.
PURGE: Using the PURGE command will help to reduce these file sizes. PURGE will delete all the
unused blocks, layers, line types, and other attributes from the file. You can always select which
objects to delete, but only items that are not in use can be removed. PURGE can dramatically reduce
file sizes and is always worth using this command before saving a file.
AUTOCAD TABLE; the table command in AutoCAD is used to insert the table containing rows and
columns. We can resize the rows and columns, and can also stretch the entire table. We can insert the
appropriate data in rows and columns according to the requirements.

direction.
You can specify a single point, indicating a relative displacement of the view, or you can specify two
points, in which case the displacement is computed from the first point to the second point.
For example, if you specify 2,2 at the first prompt and press Enter at the second prompt, the drawing is
moved 2 units in the X direction and 2 units in the Y direction. If you specify a point at the Specify
Second Point prompt, the location of the first point is moved to the location of the second point.

First of two points. Represents the base point that will be moved to the second point.
Second point
Specifies point to which the first point moves. Leave this prompt empty to use the first point as a
displacement value.
The Match Properties command allows you to quickly copy properties such as layer, color, and line
type from one AutoCAD entity and apply them to another.
Once the command has been activated, you will be prompted to select the source object, i.e. the object
whose properties you would like to copy. You will then be asked to select the destination objects, i.e. the
new objects you would like to apply the properties to. If you would like to control which properties are
transferred, type 8s9 into the command line and press enter for 8settings9.

DC LAP WINDING
A lap winding is a winding in which successive coils overlap each other. It is named a <Lap= winding
because it doubles or laps back with its succeeding coils.

lap Winding. Show the position of brushes and direction of induced emf. Date:
AIM: To Draw the winding diagram of a D C Machine with 4 poles, 14 slots, progressive,
double layer lap Winding. Show the position of brushes and direction of induced emf.
COMMANDS USED: Line, Trim, Offset, Copy, Move, Text, Hatch, Array
Calculation
Number of poles = 4 ; Number of slots = 14, Number of conductors = 14 x 2 = 28
Pole pitch = Number of conductors/pole z/p = 28/4 = 7
Pole pitch = (Yb + Yf) / 2 = Yp
Yb + Yf) = 14
(Yb - Yf ) = 2
Solving above equations Yb = 8 and Yf = 6
For lap winding both Yb and Yf must be odd and differ by 2
Satisfying the above condition Yb = 7 and Yf = 5 (Winding diagram and ring diagrams are shown
below)
