TOPIC: BASIC DRAWING TOOLS
In AutoCAD every time you create a
project, you always start with the draw
commands as the foundation of your
drawing.
As a beginner, this lesson will introduce
you the most commonly-used draw
commands.
Draw commands are used in creating
objects such as line, polyline, arcs, circle,
TOPIC: BASIC DRAWING TOOLS
Draw commands can be activated in a
numerous way.
Command names and shortcuts can be
entered in the command line using the

DRAW COMMANDS
1. LINE
Used to create or draw
straight line segment.
• Command: LINE or L
(enter)
• Specify first point: (pick
P1)
• Specify next point: (pick
P2)
DRAW COMMANDS
2. POLYLINE
A polyline is a connected
series of segments created
as a single object or entity.
The Polyline command or
Pline or PL is similar to the
Line command.
POLYLINE
•Command: PLINE or PL [enter]
•Specify start point: (pick P1)
•Specify next point or: (pick P2)
•Specify next point or: (pick P3)
•Specify next point or: (pick P4)
•Specify next point or [Arc/Close/ Half
width/Length/Undo/Width]: (or C to
close)
DRAW COMMANDS
3. RECTANGLE
Rectangle command creates a
rectangular polyline whose
sides are vertical and
horizontal from the specified
rectangle parameters (length,
width, rotation) and the type
of corners (fillet, chamfer, or
square).
RECTANGLE
•Command: RECTANG or REC
[enter]
•Specify first corner point or
[Chamfer/ Elevation/ Fillet/
Thickness/ Width]: (pick P1)
•Specify other corner point or
[Dimensions]: (pick P2)
DRAW COMMANDS
4. POLYGON
The Polygon command creates
an equilateral closed polyline
from 3 sides up to 1024 sides.
It requires four inputs from
the user:
- the number of sides
-a pick point for the center of the
polygon,
4. POLYGON
- an option whether you want
the polygon inscribed or
circumscribed,
- and a pick point which
determines both the radius of
this imaginary circle and the
orientation of the polygon.
POLYGON
•Command: POLYGON or POL [enter]
•Enter number of sides <4>: type 6 for
hexagon or six-sided polygon
•Specify center of polygon or [Edge]:
(pick P1 for center of Polygon or
type E to define by edge length)
POLYGON
•Enter an option [Inscribed in circle/
Circumscribed about circle] <I>:
(To accept the inscribed default or
type C for circumscribed)
•Specify radius of circle: (pick P2 or
enter exact radius)
POLYGON
