CAD (2D) - Importance of 2D

Engineers still love 2D Sometimes with 2D, less is more Work across industries view and edit 2D in Workbench Universal language

Role of CAD/CAM/CAE in Tool Design

CAD (2D) - Productivity tools

Copy
You can create duplicates of objects at a specified distance and direction from the originals. With in drawing Between drawings To some other software (MS Word)

CAD (2D) - Productivity tools

Mirror
Mirroring is useful for creating symmetrical objects because you can quickly draw half the object and then mirror it instead of drawing the entire object.

CAD (2D) - Productivity tools

Pattern
You can create copies of objects in a rectangular or polar (circular) pattern called an array.

DEMO

CAD (2D) - Productivity tools

Offset
Creates a new object whose shape parallels the shape of a selected object. Offsetting a circle or an arc creates a larger or smaller circle or arc, depending on which side you specify for the offset.

CAD (2D) - Productivity tools

Scale
You can resize objects to make them longer or shorter in only one direction or to make them proportionally larger or smaller. Unit conversion

Scale 1:1

Scale 1:2 DEMO

CAD (2D) - Productivity tools

STRETCH
you relocate the endpoints of objects that lie across or within a crossing selection window.

CAD (2D) - Layers

Layers are like transparent overlays on which you organize and group different kinds of drawing information.

DEMO

CAD (2D) - Blocks

You create blocks by associating objects and giving them a name. You can also attach information (attributes) to a block.
Create Blocks Within a Drawing Create Block Libraries
