    This document provides examples and instructions for using various drawing tools in AutoCAD, including ellipses, polygons, rectangles, and object snaps. It includes: 1) Three examples of drawing ellipses using different techniques - specifying endpoints, center point, or rotation. 2) Instructions for using the polygon tool to draw a 6-sided polygon with a specified radius inscribed in a circle. 3) Two examples of using the rectangle tool to add chamfers or fillets and set the line width. 4) A brief description of how object snaps can be used to place objects precisely relative to other existing objects in a drawing. 5) Mentions there are exercises at the end but

    CHAPTER 4 REVISION NOTES AND EXERCISES

    EXAMPLES
    FIRST EXAMPLE – ELLIPSE

    Left-click the Ellipse tool icon. The command sequence shows:

    ELLIPSE Specify axis endpoint of elliptical arc or [Center]: 30,190


    Specify other endpoint of axis: 150,190
    Specify distance to other axis or [Rotation] 25
    SECOND EXAMPLE – ELLIPSE

    In this second example, the coordinates of the centre of the ellipse (the point
    where the two axes intersect) are entered, followed by entering coordinates for the
    end of the major axis, followed by entering the units for the end of the minor axis.

    ELLIPSE Specify axis endpoint of elliptical arc or [Center]: c


    Specify center of ellipse: 260,190
    Specify endpoint of axis: 205,190
    Specify distance to other axis or [Rotation]: 30
    THIRD EXAMPLE – ELLIPSE

    In this third example, after setting the positions of the ends of the major axis,
    the angle of rotation of the circle from which an ellipse can be obtained is
    entered.

    ELLIPSE Specify axis endpoint of elliptical arc or [Center]: 30,100


    Specify other endpoint of axis: 120,100
    Specify distance to other axis or [Rotation]: r (Rotation)
    Specify rotation around major axis: 45
    POLYGON TOOL

    1. Call the Polygon tool – either with a click on its tool icon in the
    Home/Draw panel, from the Draw drop-down menu, or by entering pol or
    polygon at the command line. No matter how the tool is called, the
    command line shows:
    POLYGON enter number of sides : 6
    Specify center of polygon or [Edge]: 60,210 Enter an option
    [Inscribed in circle Circumscribed about circle] : right-click (accept
    Inscribed)
    Specify radius of circle: 60

    Complete the remaining polygon


    RECTANGLE TOOL

    RECTANGLE TOOL – FIRST EXAMPLE


    Call the Rectangle tool – either with a click on its tool icon in the Home/Draw panel or
    by entering rec or rectangle at the command line. The tool can be also called from the
    Draw dropdown menu. The command sequence shows:

    RECTANG [prompts]: c (Chamfer)


    Specify first chamfer distance for rectangles : 15
    Specify first chamfer distance for rectangles : right-click
    Specify first corner point: 200,240
    Specify other corner point: 300,160
    RECTANGLE TOOL – SECOND EXAMPLE

    RECTANG Specify first corner point or [Chamfer Elevation Fillet Thickness Width]: f
    (Fillet) Specify fillet radius for rectangles : 15
    Specify first corner point or [Chamfer Elevation Fillet Thickness Width]: w (Width)
    Specify line width for rectangles : 1
    Specify first corner point or [Chamfer Elevation Fillet Thickness Width]: 20,120
    Specify other corner point or [Area Dimensions Rotation]: 160,30
    OBJECT SNAP (OSNAPS)

    Object Snaps allow objects to be added to a drawing at precise positions in


    relation to other objects already on screen. With Object Snaps, objects can be
    added to the endpoints, mid points, to intersections of objects, to centres and/or
    quadrants of circles and so on. Object Snaps also override snap points even when
    snap is set on. To set Object Snaps: at the keyboard, enter os.
