1. Introduction to AutoCAD
• CAD: Computer Aided Design
The use of computer methods to develop the geometric model of the product in
three dimensional forms, such that the geometric and manufacturing requirements can
beexamined.
If a pt.’s co-ordinates are given w.r.t previous pt. then these co- ordinates are called the Relative co-
ordinates of that pt.
Relative co-ordinates are specified in the following way:
1. If Dynamic Input is Off then we have to use @ symbol to enter relative co- ordinate.
2.If Dynamic Input is On by default the co-ordinates are entered relative to the previous pt.
We have 2 co-ordinates in this co- ordinate system as well but here the co-ordinates are radial distance
from the origin and angular displacement from the +ve x axis in Counter-Clockwise Direction (CCW).
The points are specified in the following way: r<θ.
7.Dimensioning
Arrow heads, also called symbols of termination, are displayed at each end of the dimension line. We can
specify different sizes and shapes for arrow heads 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.
Centerlines are broken lines that mark the center of a circle or arc.
The steps are listed below:
• Select Annotate tab>Quick Dimension, as shown in the
below image: Or. ...
• Select the geometry to dimension. We can select any part
of the object. ...
• Press Enter.
• Place the dimension to the desired position.
Types of dimensions:
4.Draw Toolbar:
Select Object allows you to select an object.
• Point allows you to place a point on the canvas.
• Arc allows you to draw an arc.
• Line allows you to draw a line.
• Rectangle allows you to draw a rectangle.
• Ellipse allows you to draw an ellipse.
