INTRODUCTION

TO AUTOCAD
NAME – NAVNEET KUMAR
URN – 1805684
CRN - 1830087
• The computer-aided drafting program, AutoCAD, is the most
common such program. It has many, many aids to drawing
construction plans and detail drawings. If changes are later
made in the design, it is quick and easy to change the drawing
in AutoCAD.
• a considerable amount of time and money as compared to
traditional prototyping, as well as facilitating communication
and testing.
• Drawing is the language of engineers
• The AutoCAD or computer aided design machine has been a
great help to engineers and also for several architectures
that are finding it impossible to deal with drawings and
plans of the project engineering work and the bring on the
verge of perfection.
• Autocad or commonly known as computer aided design is a
software application for writing and design 2D and 3D. He
came on stage during the month of December nineteen
hundred and eighty two.
• AutoCAD is a software application for both 2D and 3D
computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting — available since
1982 as a desktop application and since 2010 as a mobile web-
and cloud-based app, currently marketed as Autocad 360.
• Developed and marketed by Autodesk, Inc., Autocad was first
released in December 1982 — having been purchased a year
prior in its original form by Autodesk founder John Walker. The
software is currently marketed in its eighteenth generation.

HOW DO WE GIVE A
COMMAND?
• Command line

• Toolbars

(view/Toolbars)

• Drop-down menus

You can pick any one(s) that you are comfortable with.
WHAT IS OSNAP?
• (Object Snap)settings make it easier to select
a 2dobject’s points
• Endpoint
• Midpoint
• Perpendicular
• Center
• İntersection
• Osnap will be active when
AutoCAD is expecting you to
pick a point on the working area
• Type osnap on your
command window:
ZOOMİNG...
• You will need to zoom in and out while drawing with
AutoCAD. This doesnt change your objects or UCS, only
the way you see your working space. This can be done
in many ways:
1. Scroll bars
2. Typing z or zoom in your command window.
• All
• Center
• Dynamic
• Extents
• Previous
• Scale
• Window
LETS DRAW A LINE:
• remember that AutoCAD recognizes an object by
its coordinates. You will need two given points to
draw a line.
(x2,y2,z2)

(x1,y1,z1)

• You can start at a random point on your WCS for


your FIRST POINT, but you should specify the
coordinates of your SECOND POINT.
LETS DRAW A LINE (1):
b
it s
n
5u
30
a
1. Give the command
• Type “line” on the command window, OR
• Click on the line icon on the Draw toolbar, OR
• Select Line on the Draw menu
2. Specify the first point (a)
• Click on a random point on your working area
(black space)
3. Specify the second point in relation to the
first point
• @distance<degrees
• @5<30
LETS DRAW A LINE (2):

7 units
a b

1. Hit F8 (ortho on)


2. Give the command
3. Specify the first point
4. Specify the second point in relation to the
first point
• Point the cursor to the left hand side. You will see
that the cursor snaps only to 0o-90o-180o-270o
• Type 7 and hit enter
LETS DRAW A LINE (3):
b
(5,22,13)
a
(4,8,11)

If we know the coordinates of the line we want to


draw, we can simply type them into the
command line. (However, this mostly is not the
case.)
1. Give the command
2. Specify the first point (4,8,11)
3. Specify the second point (5,11,23)
WHAT ELSE?
a

• Rectangle: two diagonal lines


b

(pick first point, select the second one with relation to the first.
@5<-33)
d
• Circle/Arc: center and radius a

• Polygon: specify the number of edges and length of a side

d
A small tip: you can use the EXPLODE command for the tool to split the object into its
components or lines
EDITING…
• COPY  ARRAY

• MOVE
 SCALE

• MIRROR

 STRETCH
MORE EDITING…
 OFFSET • STRETCH

• EXPLODE
 ROTATE

 ERASE
POLYLİNE (PLİNE)
• The PLINE command creates a chain line
with multiple vertexes and straight or
circular segments between the vertexes
• Draw a closed shape with the pline
command:
• Then type PEDIT (polyline edit) on the
command line and see what you can do
with it:
Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit
vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Undo]:

Try Width and Spline


HATCHİNG

• Hatching is used to add shaded patterns to objects and


shapes within an Autocad drawing. Hatch patterns can
be used to indicate a material to be used, such as a
concrete hatch. Alternatively it could be used to make
an area of a drawing stand out.

• You will pick:


• Pattern
• Scale
• Angle
• points
DRAWING SOLIDS

• Solids contain the “mass properties” of 3D objects.


• You can use the Solids toolbar for readily accessible
 Torus
objects
 Cone
• Box  Sphere
• Cylinder
• Wedge

• You can use the Boolean operations of more


complicated shapes.
• Union (join two solids)
• Subtract (carve out the second solid from the first)
TO İNCREASE THE NUMBER
OF FACES
• Tools > Options > Display tab >
WE CAN CREATE SOLIDS BY
EXTRUDING AS WELL

• If you “extrude” a surface into the


third dimension, you simply add a
thickness in section. This basically is
Extrude 5
same as creating
units a “solid”5 object
units

Extrude -4
units

4 units
UCS AND WCS
• The AutoCAD world is 3 dimensional. However, if we want
to draw a 2d object, such as a plan or a section, we will
use only 2 dimensions (x and y).
• WCS (world coordinate system) is the imaginary plane that
is parallel to the ground. It is the default coordinate
system.
• Modifications made to the World Coordinate System (WCS)
result in a User Coordinate System (UCS). It is the plane
that you work on. It enables the user to draw 3
dimensional objects.
• To create a new UCS, type ucs on the command window,
then say New and specify 3 points on your new UCS plane.

• Mechanical Drawings. Mechanical drawings designate
the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems;
electrical distribution requirements; fire and security
systems; sprinklers and the necessary plumbing
requirements.

• These drawings generally contain the ductwork sizes and


locations and designate required openings in the structure for
their paths.
