Lesson 3.1
Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, 80% of the students


will be able to;
► Identify appropriate drawing tools as per job
requirement;
► Create illustrations using basic CAD drawing
tools; and
► Understand the definition and uses of each
tool.
Basic Drawing Tools

► Line Command
► Polyline Command
► Rectangle Command
► Polygon Command
► Donut Command
► Circle and Arc Commands
► Spline Command
► Ellipse Command
Line Command
► With the line command you'll draw a simple line from one point to another.
Once you choose the first point and move the cross-hairs to the location of the
second point.

Command: LINE or L [enter]


Polyline Command
► Comparable to the line command but the resulting protest may be composed of
a several of fragments that form a single object. In expansion to the two ends, a
polyline is said to have vertices (singular vertex) where middle line segments
connect.
Command: PLINE or PL [enter]
Rectangle Command
► The rectangle command is utilized to draw a rectangle whose sides are vertical
and flat. The position and measure of the rectangle are characterized by picking
two inclining corners.
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)
Polygon Command
► Can be utilized to draw any customary polygon from 3 sides up to 1024 sides.
This command requires four inputs from the user, the number of sides, and a
Choose point for the center of the polygon, whether you want the polygon
inscribed or circumscribed.

Command: POLYGON or POL [enter]


Enter number of sides <4>: 6
Specify center of polygon or [Edge]: (pick P1 or type E to define by edge length)
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)
Donut Command

► This command draws a solid donut shape. It is a fair closed polyline comprising
of two arc segments that are given width.

Command: DONUT or DO [enter]


Specify inside diameter of donut <0.5000>:
(Pick any two points to define a diameter or enter the exact length)
Specify outside diameter of donut <1.0000>: (pick any two points to define a
diameter or enter the exact length) Specify center of donut or <exit>: (pick P1)
Specify center of donut or <exit>: [Enter]
Cirlce Command
Command: CIRCLE or C[enter]
Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)]: (pick P1) Specify
radius of circle or [Diameter] <50.0195>: (pick P2 or enter the exact radius)
Arc Command
► The arc command permits you to draw a circular segment of a circle. There
are various ways to define an arc. The default strategy uses three pick points
- a beginning point, a second point and an endpoint. Utilizing this strategy,
the drawn arc will begin at the first pick point, passing through the second
point and end at the third point.

Command: ARC or A[enter]


Specify start point of arc or [Center]: (pick P1)
Specify second point of arc or [Center/End]: (pick P2) Specify end
point of arc: (pick P3)
Spline Command
► The spline command makes a sort of spline known as a non-uniform rational
B-spline, NURBS for short. A spline could be a smooth bend that's fitted
along with several control points. The fit tolerance option can be utilized to
control how closely the spline acclimates to the control points. A low tolerance
value causes the spline to make near to the control points.

Command: SPLINE or SPL [enter]


Specify first point or [Object]: (Pick P1)
Specify next point: (Pick P2)
Specify next point or [Close/Fit tolerance] <start tangent>: (Pick P3)
Specify next point or [Close/Fit tolerance] <start tangent>: (Pick P4) Specify
next point or [Close/Fit tolerance] <start tangent>:
Specify start tangent: (pick a point)
Specify end tangent: (pick a point)
Ellipse Command
Command: ELLIPSE or EL [enter]
Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center]: (pick P1)
Specify other endpoint of axis: (pick P2)
Specify distance to other axis or
[Rotation]: (pick P3)
