    Uploaded by

    Jamil
    The document discusses how to draw rectangles in AutoCAD using the RECTANGLE command. It describes how to specify the first and second corners of the rectangle to define its location and dimensions. It also explains optional parameters like chamfer, fillet, width, thickness, and elevation that allow adjusting the geometry of the rectangle. Step-by-step command sequences are provided for each parameter to guide the user in properly executing the RECTANGLE command.

    • Command: RECTANG
    RECTANGLES
    • A Rectangle can be drawn using the
    RECTANGLE command. After invoking the
    RECTANGLE command, you are prompted to
    specify the first corner of the rectangle at the
    Specify first corner point: prompt.
    • Here you can enter the coordinates of the first
    corner or specify the desired point with the
    pointing device.
    RECTANGLES
    • The prompt sequence for drawing a rectangle
    with (3, 3) as its lower let corner coordinate
    and (6, 5) as its upper right corner is:
    COMMAND PROMPT SEQUENCE
    • Command: RECTANG or RECTANGLE [Enter]
    • Specify first corner point or
    [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]:
    3, 3 [Enter] (Lower left corner location)
    • Specify other corner point: 6, 5 [Enter] (Upper
    right corner location)
    CHAMFER
    The CHAMFER option creates a chamfer by
    specifying the chamfer distances.
    COMMAND PROMPT SEQUENCE
    • Command: RECTANG or RECTANGLE [Enter]
    • Specify first corner point or
    [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: C [Enter]
    • Specify first chamfer distance for rectangles <0.0000>:
    Enter a value
    • Specify second chamfer distance for rectangles
    <0.0000>: Enter a value
    • Specify first corner point or
    [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: select
    point as lower left corner location
    • Specify other corner point: Select a point as upper
    right corner location
    FILLET
    The FILLET option allows you to create a
    filleted rectangle by specifying the fillet radius.
    COMMAND PROMPT SEQUENCE
    • Specify first corner point or
    [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: F
    [Enter]
    • Specify fillet radius for rectangles <0.0000>:
    Enter a value
    WIDTH
    The WIDTH option allows you to control
    the line width of the rectangle by specifying the
    width.
    COMMAND PROMPT SEQUENCE
    • Specify first corner point or
    [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]:
    W [Enter]
    • Specify lines width for rectangles <0.0000>:
    Enter a value
    THICKNESS
    The THICKNESS option allows you to
    draw a rectangle that is extruded in the Z
    direction by the specified value of thickness. For
    example, if you draw a rectangle with thickness
    of 2 units, you will get a rectangular box whose
    height is 2 units.
    COMMAND PROMPT SEQUENCE
    • Specify first corner point or
    [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: T
    [Enter]
    • Specify thickness for rectangles <0.0000>:
    Enter a value
    ELEVATION
    The ELEVATION option allows you to draw
    a rectangle at a specified distance from the XY
    plane along the Z axis. For example, if the
    elevation is 2 units, the rectangle will be drawn
    two units above the XY plane. If the thickness of
    the rectangle is 1 unit, you will get a rectangular
    box of 1 unit height located 2 units above the XY
    plane.
    COMMAND PROMPT SEQUENCE
    • Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width/<Fi
    rst corner> E [Enter]
    • Specify elevation for rectangles <0.0000>:
    Enter a value
