The latest AutoCAD releases are AutoCAD 2013 and AutoCAD 2013 for Mac. The
release marked the 27th major release for the AutoCAD for Windows, and the third
consecutive year for AutoCAD for Mac.
e PARTS OF AUTOCAD
We divide AutoCAD in three parts according to working:
A. 2D
B. Advance Commands/ Productivity tools.
C. 3D

(A) 2D(2Dimension)
In this section we come to know how to draw 2D drawings in
AutoCAD.
2D means two dimensional objects .In 2D we show only two
dimension of an object like :
LX B=Plan
BXH =Elevations I sections 1- - - - - - - x
2DUCS
LXH=Elevations/ sections.
In 2D there is only 2 co-ordinates x,y because of these co-ordinates we show only

2 dimensions of an object.

WORK SPACES OF AUTOCAD

- ..stly we discuss about workspaces of AutoCAD:

AutoCAD Classic
Lets see screen of different work spaces of AutoCAD:
DRAFTING & ANNOTATION
HATRONYKS
AutoCAD Interface Elements
1. Your AutoCAD drawing area or viewport : This is where you will drawing your
AutoCAD objects.
2. AutoCAD Ribbon : This is where you can access AutoCAD tools and settings.
3. AutoCAD Ribbon has several tabs : Each tab holds AutoCAD tools based on your
drawing task. For example, we can use drawing tools and modify tools in home
tab. But when we need to add text and dimensions, we need to open the Annotate
tab. When we need to insert blocks, we need to move to insert tab.
4. In each tab have several panels : These panels have similar AutoCAD tools inside
them.
5. Command Line : We can activate tools and change the tool settings by typing in
command line. Command line is also providing information what you should do
next.
6. Drafting Settings : While we draw, we need to change some drafting settings. This
is where you can change it.
7. The AutoCAD logo : Click it once.
8. AutoCAD will show you the AutoCAD menu : Some will say 'application menu',
since the application name is AutoCAD, I prefer to call it AutoCAD menu:) This is
where you can access tools related to applications, such as saving files.

Basic Drawing Commands
)
Command: Line
Alias : L
is Home Tab---7 Draw Panel---7 Line

Use: To draw line to create objects. We draw line segment in between two points.
L .J Cross hairs
Specify first point: (pick P1)
Specify next point(Undo): (pick P2)
Specify next point(Undo): (pick P3)
Specify next point(Close/Undo): .J (to P2
Rubber
band line
With the Line command you can draw a

_ -:::>le line from one point to another. When
# pick the first point and move the
P1
- ss-hairs to the location of the second point
_ will see a rubber band line which shows you where the line will be drawn when the
=- ond point is picked. Line objects have two ends (the first point and the last point). You
2 continue picking points and AutoCAD will draw a straight line between each picked
· t and the previous point. Each line segment drawn is a separate object and can be
ved or erased as required. To end this command, just hit the .J key on the keyboard.

You can also draw lines by entering the co-ordinates of their end points at the
command prompt rather than picking their position from the screen. You can also draw
lines using something called direct distance entry or point fixing methods.
e POINT FIXING METHODS IN AUTOCAD

(a) . Absolute Co-ordinate System.
(b) Relative Rectangular Co-ordinate System.
(c) Relative Polar Co-ordinate System.

In the example given above, we drew the rectangle(5X2) by line(fig:1). We gave
the point information that is asked by AutoCAD by entering real coordinates in form of x,
y.
(B) Relative Rectangular Co-ordinate System

Entering relative coordinates is entering another point as referenced to another point as
it can be understood from its name. Format of entries in relative rectangular co-ordinate

(C) Relative Polar Co-ordinate System

Another co-ordinate system that you can use to enter points is POLAR coordinates
system. It fs a coordinate that is reached by a distance and an angle from a certain origin
point. We know that angles increase in counter clockwise direction.

Entering coordinates by using AutoCAD drawing aid (dynamic) tools:
If you select a point on the screen by using your mouse cursor, then you cannot
enter and exact coordinate. Of course, it would be better if we could have entered the
exact coordinate that we wanted just by using the mouse cursor. Since AutoCAD 2000,
entering coordinates by using mouse cursor has been improved. And in final versions
AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, this has been improved even better. This is called dynamic
coordinate entry in AutoCAD. Now, let's take a look the subject by giving some examples:
Angle by cursor, but distance is dynamic:
2001
FIG. 5
As you move your cursor and approach to angles that are defined in POLAR
settings, then you will see that your cursor is locked on that angle. As the cursor fs
locked, then we can move as much as we want that along the angle we are locked onto.
Angle locked, distance fs dynamic:
200

ifferent Selection Methods
There are some methods which are used to select objects. They are following:
(a) Window Selection

The Window option is invoked by typing Win response to the "Select objects" prompt.
Window allows you to define a rectangle using two points. Once the window is defined,
all objects which lie entirely within the window will be selected.
(THE WINDOW SELECTIO~ BOX IS SHOWN (ONLY OBJECTS ENTIRELY WITHIN

AS A RECTANGLE WITH A SOLID LINE) THE WINDOW WILL BE SELECTED)
Command Sequence:
Command: (start one of the Modify commands such as ERASE)
Select objects: W .J
First corner: (pick first corner) e Se
Specify opposite corner: (pick second corner)
Select objects: (at this point you can either select more objects or .J to complete
the selection set and continue with the current command.)

b) Crossing Window Selection

e Crossing Window option is invoked by typing C at the "Select objects" prompt and is
a variation of the Window command. The command sequence is exactly the same but
jects are selected which lie entirely within the window and those which cross the
. 'ndow border.

_ .. ely done. Both of these selection options are so commonly used that AutoCAD provides
efined,
� ethod of implied windowing so that you don't have to use the keyboard at all. You can
:est this out without using any command. If you pick a point in space on the graphic
dow, you will notice that AutoCAD automatically assumes that you want to define a
.se ection window and uses the pick point as the first point of that window. If you move
--e cursor to the right of the pick point you will get a Window selection box (solid line). If
move the cursor the left you will get a Crossing Window selection box (broken line).
· ·� a little bit of practice the use of implied windowing can make the whole drawing
-�ocess very efficient and you will rarely find yourself having to explicitly invoke the
dow selection options from the keyboard.
The Undo Option

-often happens that you inadvertently add objects which you don't want to a selection
se· during its compilation. When this occurs in the middle of a complicated selection it
::a be pretty annoying. Fortunately AutoCAD allows you to undo the last selection made
::�ring the compilation of a selection set. All you need to do is enter U at the next "Select
- jects" prompt to remove the objects previously added.
e) Selecting All Objects

e All option is invoked by typing ALL at the "Select objects" prompt. You can use this
1plete : tion to select all the objects in the current drawing, no picking is required. Objects on
_ocked or Frozen layers are not selected but objects on layers which are simply turned
-�f are selected.

(f) Fence Selection
The Fence option allows you to draw a multi-segment line, like a Polyline. All objects
which cross the fence will be selected. The Fence option is invoked by typing F at the
"Select objects" prompt.

(g) Window Polygon Selection

The Window Polygon option, invoked by typing WP is similar to the Window option exce�
that you can define an irregular polygon shape within which objects will be selected. 1
with the Window option, only objects which fall entirely within the polygon will t

A polygon is formed by picking at least three points.
) Crossing Polygon Selection

-..,e Crossing Polygon option can be used in exactly the same way as the Window Polygon
:;)tion but it has the same selection criteria as the Crossing Window option, i.e. objects
l be selected if they fall entirely within or touch the polygon boundary. This option is
•oked by typing CP at the "Select objects" prompt.
•Ote : Lines, polygons and windows drawn using the selection options do not exist as
drawing objects. Once the selection has been made they disappear.
Using a Previous Selection

--toCAD always remembers the last selection set you defined. This is very useful because
1ce :: .. may need to make a number of changes using different commands to the same group
:<'objects. In order tore-select the last selection set you can use the Previous option.
--e previous option is invoked by typing P at the "Select objects" prompt.
Selecting the Last Object

pt can select the last object created by entering L at the "Select objects" prompt.
As Object Cycling : When drawings become complicated it is sometimes difficult to
be := ect the particular object you want because it is either very close to or overlies another
-:~ect. In such a case it may happen that the other object is selected and not the one you
~ t. Object cycling is designed to overcome this problem. If you make a pick whilst

<::ycle off>", the required object is added to the selection set and you can continue to

• Adding and Removing Objects

--:oCAD provides two methods for adding and removing objects to and from a selection
-=:. As you know, objects can be added to a selection set simply by picking them or by
_- g one of the methods outlined above. You can remove selected objects from a
ection set just as easily by shift picking. If you hold the Shift key down on the keyboard
-=c
CAD DESK
HATRONYKS
while picking a selected object, that object will be deselected (removed from the
current selection set). You can tell when a selected object has been deselected because
it is no longer highlighted. You can remove more than one object at a time by holding
down the Shift key while using implied windowing. However, none of the other selection
options which require keyboard input will work using the shift pick method.
If you need to remove a more complex selection from the current selection set
you should use the Remove option to switch to Remove mode. If you enter R at the
"Select objects" prompt, AutoCAD will respond:
Remove Objects : Objects now picked or selected using any of the above
methods will be removed from the current selection set. When you have finished
removing objects, you can return to Add mode by entering A at the "Remove objects"
prompt.
You can use any combination of picking, selection options and add/remove modes
to define your selection set. Once you are happy that you have selected all the objects
you need, just hit to complete the selection process and to continue with the current
command.
Tips 8: Tricks: When you are picking objects in a complex drawing, use the ZOOM
command transparently to make object selection easier. All Zoom
options selected from the toolbars are automatically transparent but if
you invoke the command from the keyboard you will need to enter
'zoom' or z.

HATRONYKS
(A) Ortho Mode : (ORTHO or F8)
Ortho is short for orthogonal, which means either vertical or horizontal. Like the other
options on the status bar, Ortho is not really a command, it is a drawing mode which can
either be turned on or off. Ortho mode can be toggled on or off in one of three ways. The
quickest way is just to click on the ORTHO button on the status bar. The appearance of
the button tells you whether Ortho is currently turned on or turned off. When Ortho is
turned on, the ORTHO button appears pressed in. Ortho can also be toggled on and off
using the F8 Function key.
Ortho mode is probably the simplest of all the drawing aids, and historically one
of the oldest. It is either on or it is off and there are no special settings to make. Also, it
does a very simple job; it constrains drawn lines to the horizontal or the vertical. You
may not be surprised to learn, therefore, that its use .has largely been superceded by
more recent features, particularly Polar Tracking, described below.

(B) Object Snap 0

Object snap is a tool that you can use to refer for a location from existing objects. For
example, a center point of an arc or circle. You can snap to a reference point after you
see the snap symbol on that point. Below is an example for midpoint snap.
Object snap is only working when AutoCAD is asking you for a point. You will not
see the object snap symbol when AutoCAD is not asking for point. ·
Object Snap Settings

There are many modes of object snap you can use. Activating all of the object snaps is
not a wise decision. You will find difficulties snapping to objects when you have complex
drawing. You need to decide which object snaps you commonly use. To activate or
deactivate object snaps, you can right click on object snap button, and choose the object
snap.

(C) Polar Tracking

When you draw an object, and your pointer is about parallel to AutoCAD axis, what wil
happen? It's getting sticky and the angle show multiplication of 90 degrees. This is the
polar tracking. It will track your pointer when at certain angle and snap your pointer. Ym.

Once you've selected a Snap type, you can set your spacing. Since only one Snap

When you have been drawing in AutoCAD, almost all of the lines have been

·
one line type. More advanced drawings will require different line types such as
-- ·er lines, hidden lines, phantom lines and others.
When you first start AutoCAD, the default template has only one line type is ·

Instead of creating a new linetype , you will have to LOAD it into your drawing.
AutoCAD has many different linetypes that you can load, as well as giving you the optior
to create your own. (This will not be covered in this lesson. ) To load a linetype, press the
_boad . . . button that is towards the top-right corner. When you do this, you'll see another
dialog box appear (shown above ) .
Notice that AutoCAD i s giving you a choice of different linetypes as defined in the
acad. lin file. Scroll throueh the list to see what options you have available. You'll see the
most common ones (hidden, center, etc) as well as some that are only for certain appli
cations. Click on the Hidden linetype and then press OK.
Adding a linetype to your drawing is that easy. Notice that there are three
different hidden linetype options: HIDDEN, HIDDEN2, HIDDENX2. All of these a re valid
linetypes, but as you can see from the samples shown in the right side of the dialog box,
they are slightly different. Which one you choose is up to you. Remember one thing
though. If you pick HIDDEN2, then you should also pick CENTER2, if you need a center
line. This will keep your linetype scale consistent. Only change your linetype scale singly
if you have a specific reason to.

Here is an example of 3 different linetypes:

Command: Line Type Scale

Alias : LTS
Use: Your linetype scale determines how the linetype is displayed and plotted.
epending on your linetype or original area you set up, you may have to change it. This is
: e more reason, why you should set up your drawing properly from the beginning. If you
-:ed to change your linetype scale, type in LTSCALE and try different values to get the
k you want.

Note: You can change the linetype scale separately on each object, but this is no
- recommended as it can be very difficult to keep track of, and therefore lose
consistency.
Here is a single linetype (hidden) with 3 different linetype scales applied. NoticE
that the line with a LTS of 5 has lines and dashes that are 1 /2 the size of line above i

The line with a LTS of 5 has lines and dashes that are 5 times longer.

You can change the linetype of an object by changing its properties, or use the
droplist of layers on the main drawing screen. This is a simpler, quicker method - jus�
select the object, then pick the linetype from the list.

The options are quite straightforward, but you also have the option of displaying
lineweight.
By working with different linetypes & lineweights you can make a drawing
clearer. Some people will make their objects have a heavier lineweight than the dimen

Filleting Parallel lines

Not all the lines to be filleted need to have an intersection point or to intersect if they
were extended. Fillet can also apply an arc to lines that are parallel. Use Snap and Ortho
to draw two parallel lines with different lengths as shown below.
Apply the Fillet command to the lines at both right hand ends, picking the shorter
one fi rst. The fillet is positioned so that it is trimmed back to the end of the line you
picked first regardless of length. The size of the radius is adjusted to join the lines with a
semicircle regardless of the fillet setting.
------
CAD DESK
HATRONYKS
Undo the fillet and then re-install the Fillet com and and apply it again picking
the longer line fi rst. This time the radius is positioned at e end of the longer line and
the shorter one is extended.
__ ___)
Install the Fillet command again to see that the radius used to fillet the parallel
lines is only a temporary value and the Current value remains unaltered.
Now, Fillet has one more very useful function.
Radius 0
1
This option is very valuable in the trimming and cleaning up of
30
lines that have been drawn freehand, ( lines drawn not using
Snap, "continuous", etc . )
Reinstate the Fillet command and pick one of the lines

making up the corner with a radius of 25. At the second

prompt:
Select second object or shift-select to apply corner: 40
Hold the Shift key down and pick the opposite line that makes up the corner. The
initial arc remains, but the corner will also be squared off as the current radius setting is
overridden and becomes a value of 0.
Another option is to set the radius to 0 and then Fillet. Draw two lines like those
below somewhere away from your two squares

Home Tab ---? Draw Panel ---? Polyline ____)
Use: The Polyline or Pline command is similar to the line command except that
the resulting object may be composed of a number of segments which form a single
object. In addition to the two ends a polyline is said to have vertices (singular vertex)
where intermediate line segments join .
Polylines have some unique qualities that make them very useful:
1. They can have width (constant or varying)
2. They can consist of a rcs and lines.
3. They can be edited
4. They can be joined together.
5. They can be exploded into individual segments.

Next
Moves the X marker to the next vertex. The marker does not wrap around from
the end to the start of the polyline even if the polyline is closed.
Previous
Moves the X marker to the previous vertex. The marker does not wrap around
from the start to the end of the polyline even if the polyline is closed.
Break
Saves the location of the marked vertex while you move the X marker to any other
vertex.
If one of the specified vertices is at an end of the polyline, the result is one
truncated polyline. If both specified vertices are at endpoints of the polyline, or if just
one vertex is specified and it is at an endpoint, you cannot use Break.

In d rawings you need to d raw some data tables to show different schedules, legends
related to drawings. By table command you can easily create tables by specifying number
of rows & columns.
A table is a compound object that contains data i n rows and columns. It can be
created from an empty table or a table style. When you create a table, the number o
columns and rows created is determined by the two points picked to define the size o·
the table.

You can define the parameters (color, text height, borders, etc . ) i n your
custom style. This preview is used in the other dialog boxes as well. Make sure you
your Text Styles defined first.
So now that you have defined your table style, you can insert one i nto the drawing
enter data using the Mtext editor and tabbing through the cells. Anyone who has usee
simple spreadsheet will be able to use this. One major d rawback is that there is
formula function in the table.

this setting should remain unchecked.
Zero suppression:Controls the suppression of leading and trailing zeros and o

feet and inches that have a value of zero.
Leading: Suppresses leading zeros in all decimal dimensions. For example

0. 5000 becomes . 5000. Select leading to enable display of dimension distances less thar
one unit in sub units.
(a) Sub-units factor: Sets the number of sub units to a unit. It is used to calculate thE
dimension distance in a sub unit when the distance is less than one unit. Fo
