& MODELING CO- ORDINATE SYSTEM

AIM
To Study of capabilities of software for Drafting

COMPUTER AIDED DRAWING

A drawing is prepared traditionally using instruments. The modern alternative is to draw with
the aid of computers. This method is known as computer aided drafting (or) Computer aided
drawing (or) computer assisted drafting (or) computer argument drafting and computer
automated drafting.
Modern CAD systems are based on the interactive computer graphics. Interactive computer
graphics denotes a user defined system in which the computer is employed to create and display
data in the terms of pictures and symbols, by the communication between the user and the
system. A typical interactive computer graphics system in combination of both hardware and
software.
The four fundamental elements of drawing are points, straight lines, arcs and circles. In
computer aided drawing systems, the points on the screen be located by selected with the
cursor, snapping to the grip, points (or) by entering the numerical values of the co-
ordinates of the points. The other elements can be drawn easily by using relevant commands.
Scaling The capacity to enlarge (or) diminish the size of a displayed feature without changing
its shape.
Zooming The capacity to enlarge (or) reduce a selected area of the drawing seen on the screen.
Translating The capacity to move parts of a drawing and redrawing them in the new position
to a selected scale.
Rotation The capability of rotating the features about a selected position and redraw them in
a new angular position.
Mirroring To reverse the image of a feature about the chosen line of symmetry.
Duplicating The capability of redrawing a feature (or) component many times and
displaying in orderly manner of our choice. The CAD system offers a number of automatic
features such as fillet, chamfering, hatching and shading of any specified area, dimensioning and
text displayed in the required format.
Array You can create copies of objects in a rectangular or polar (circular) pattern called an
array. For rectangular arrays, you control the number of rows and columns and the distance
between each. For polar arrays, you control the number of copies of the object and whether the
copies are rotated. To create many regularly spaced objects, arraying is faster than copying.
Rectangular Arrays A rectangular array is built along a baseline defined by the current snap
rotation angle. This angle is zero by default, so the rows and columns of a rectangular
array are orthogonal with respect to the X and Y axes. The default angle 0 direction setting can
be changed in UNITS.

6
 `

Polar Arrays When you create a polar array, the array is drawn counter clockwise or
clockwise, depending on whether you enter a positive or a negative value for the angle to fill.
The radius of the array is determined by the distance from the specified center point to a
reference or base point on the last selected object. You can use the default reference point
(usually an arbitrary point that coincides with a snap point), or you can specify a new base
point to be used as the reference point.

Hatch You can hatch an area using a predefined hatch pattern, define a simple line pattern using
line type, or create more complex hatch patterns. One type of pattern is called solid, which fills
an area with a solid color.

You can choose from several methods to specify the boundaries of a hatch.
• Specify a point in an area that is enclosed by objects.
• Select objects that enclose an area.
• Drag a hatch pattern into an enclosed area from a tool palette or Design Center.

When you hatch a drawing, whole or partial objects that are not part of the object boundary are
ignored. If a hatch line encounters an object such as text, an attribute, or a solid-fill object,
and if the object is selected as part of the boundary set, HATCH hatches around the object.
7
 `

Dimensions Dimensions have several distinct elements: dimension text, dimension lines,
arrowheads, and extension lines Dimension text is a text string that usually indicate the
measurement value. The text can also include prefixes, suffixes, and tolerances. A dimension
line indicates the direction and extent of a dimension. For angular dimensions, the dimension
line is an arc. Arrowheads, also called symbols of termination, are displayed at each end of the
dimension line. You can specify different sizes and shapes for arrowheads or tick marks.
Extension lines, also called projection lines or witness lines, extend from the feature to the
dimension line.
A center mark is a small cross that marks the center of a circle or arc. Center lines are broken
lines that mark the center of a circle or arc.

Trim You can shorten or lengthen objects to meet the edges of other objects. This means you
can first create an object such as a line and then later adjust it to fit exactly between other
objects. Objects you select as cutting edges or boundary edges are not required to intersect the
object being trimmed. You can trim or extend an object to a projected edge or to an extrapolated
intersection; that is, where the objects would intersect if they were extended. If you do not
specify a boundary and press ENTER at the Select Objects prompt, all displayed objects become
potential boundaries. When you trim several objects, the different selection methods can help
you choose the current cutting edges and objects to trim. In the following example, the cutting
edges are selected using crossing selection

Move You can move objects at a specified distance and direction from the originals. Use
Coordinates, grid snap, object snaps, and other tools to move objects with precision. A practical
example is moving a door in a wall. The door in the illustration is entirely within a crossing
selection, while the wall lines are only partly within the crossing selection area.

Advantages of using CAD:

To increase the productivity of designer:
The designer to visualize the product and its component sub-assemblies and parts, by
reading the time required in synthesis and documenting the design.
To improve quality of design:
The CAD system permits a more analysis and a number of design alternative can be
investigated, designs are also through the greater accuracy provided by the system.
To improve communication:
Use of Cad system provides better engineering drawing, more standardization in the
drawing, better documentation of the design, greater legibility and saving in time.
To create library:
Commonly used architectural building, electrical and mechanical components can be
drawn and stored in memory and recalled when needed. Further they can be positioned anywhere
on the screen and redraw to any scale angle and angle of inclination.
To create database for manufacturing:
The process of creating the documentation in the product using design much of required
database to manufacture the product is also created.
