Some Technical Terms in Operating CAD Software and Hardware
Hardware - is all the physical equipment that makes up the computer system.
Software - is the set of programs and other related applications associated with a
computer system.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - is the brain of the computer where most of
the “computing” takes place.
CAD Software and Hardware - Computer systems can be broken down into two
basic elements, the hardware and the software.
THE HARDWARE
The hardware is the bodily equipment that makes up the computer system. It is
divided into system hardware and peripherals. The system hardware includes the
Central Processing Unit (CPU), the keyboard, the monitor and primary storage
memory (RAM), and the secondary storage memory. Peripherals include disk drives,
mouse, digitizers, printers/plotters, etc.

THE SOFTWARE
The software is the set of programs, procedures, and related documentation

connected with a computer system. A program is a coded order of instructions that
interprets the information provided to the computer using the keyboard or mouse
and directs the computer to perform a task. Software can be classified into two main
groups: operating system software and application software.
Operating System Software
The operating system

software delivers various
levels of collaboration

Introduction to CAD System
Computer-aided design and drafting, then known as CADD has been around
since 1964. Though, it was not usually used until 1982, when CAD systems such as
AutoCAD developed accessible on microcomputers. ACAD software utilizes either
vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting or may also produce
swifter graphics showing the realistic images of the designed objects.Computer-aided
design (CAD), also known as computer-aided drafting and design (CADD), is the use
of computer systems to assist in the design, alteration, and analysis of a design. It
describes the process of creating technical drawings with the use of computer
software. CAD is an important industrial art broadly used in many applications,
including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries; industrial and
architectural design; prosthetics; and many more. CAD is also widely used to
produce computer animation for special effects in movies, advertising, and technical
manuals.

The AutoCAD Working Environment
Like other window-based applications, AutoCAD has many features that are used
in many different aspects of a working drawing.
A. Menu Browser – is a patron

software that lets operators
interpret or check documents
on the World Wide Web.
B. Quick Access Toolbar - is located along the top of the application window
(above or below the ribbon) and offers direct access to common or defined set
of commands like New, Open, Save, and Plot.
Procedure on how to add command/s to Quick Access Toolbar

1. Right-click the Quick Access toolbar >Customize Quick Access toolbar.
2. Select the preferred commands.
3. Drag the selected commands to the Quick Access Toolbar.
8
C. Filename - The name of the current file you are working on.
D. Menu Bar – is the straight strip across the top of an application’s window.
Each word on the strip has a context complex drop-down menu including
features and actions that are accessible for the application in use.
E. Search Box – is a device that allows you to search for a particular data or
document in a help file or to the web.
F. Toolbars/Ribbon - provide a single, compact placement for operations/tools
that are appropriate to the current workspace. By default (in its original
setting), it contains the Standard, Layers, Properties and Styles toolbars.
G. Command Line Bar - is where you enter the commands from the keyboard
and where the prompts are displayed. It has a text area where all the previous
commands are displayed.
H. Tray Settings/Info Bar - quickly search for a variety of information sources,

access product updates and announcements, and save topics in the
Info Center.
I. UCS – is located at the bottom left hand

corner of the AutoCAD drawing window.
This is called the UCS (User Coordinate
System) icon, and it is there to remind you
which is the X axis and which is the Y
axis.
J. WCS - By default when you start a new
(blank) drawing you use the World
Coordinate System (WCS). This indicates
your (0,0,0) point.
K. Draw Toolbar - Draw commands can be used to generate new objects such
as lines and circles. Most AutoCAD drawings are composed purely and
simply from these basic components.
9
L. Modify Toolbar – is used to modify the basic drawing objects in some way to
suit the image you need. AutoCAD provides a whole range of modify tools such
as Move, Copy, Rotate and Mirror.
M. Working/Drawing Area – is the place where your drawings are displayed and
modified.
N. Crosshairs – is a type of cursor consisting of two lines that intersect
and are used to locate points and select objects in your drawing.
O. Status Bar - displays the coordinate location of your crosshairs and
the current settings of grid, snap, and other drawing aids.
P. Dialog Box Launcher - displays the coordinate location of your
crosshairs and the current setting of grid, snap, and other drawing aids.
Directions: Label each number with the correspondent features of the AutoCAD
software program in working environment and his functions. Write your answer on
a separate sheet of paper.

AutoCAD Coordinate Systems
A good understanding of how coordinates work in AutoCAD is essential if you

are to make the best use of the program. If you are not familiar with coordinates and
coordinate systems, take some time to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts.
Coordinates have two types, namely Cartesian and Polar. They can be either
Absolute or Relative. The Cartesian coordinate system is the standard co-ordinate
system. The position of a point can be described by its distance from two axes, X and
Y. AutoCAD locates absolute X,Y coordinates with respect to the 0,0 point of the
drawing — usually, its lower-left corner. AutoCAD locates relative X,Y coordinates
and relative polar coordinates with respect to the previous point you picked or typed.
The Polar coordinates on the other hand, uses one distance and one angle to describe
the position of a point rather than the two distances. The distance and angle
measurements are made relative to an origin.
You will see how AutoCAD uses all three coordinate formats to draw a pair of
line segments that start at the absolute
coordinates 2,1 and then move to the right
2 units and up 1 unit (@ 2,1) relative to the
first point.
Note how the first two coordinate

pairs use the same numbers (2,1) but the
second pair defines a different point
because of the leading @ symbol, then
(relative to that point) move 2 units at an
angle of 60 degrees (@ 2<60).
Notice that the separator in the case

of polar coordinates is the < "less than"
mathematical symbol.
Basic Drawing Tools
The Draw commands can be used to create new objects such as lines and
circles. Most AutoCAD drawings are composed purely and simply from these basic
12
components. A good understanding of the
Draw commands is important to the efficient
use of AutoCAD.
The most frequently used Draw

commands such as Line, Polyline and Circle
as well as the more innovative commands
like, Multiline and Multiline Style. As a
newcomer to AutoCAD, you may wish to skip the more advanced commands to
appropriately master the basics. You can always return to this tutorial in the future
after you have learned the basics and become more confident.
In common with most AutoCAD commands, the Draw commands can be

started in several ways. Command names or shortcuts can be entered at the
keyboard, commands can be started from the Draw pull-down menu, shown on the
right or from the Draw toolbar. The method you use is dependent upon the type of
work you are doing and how experienced a user you are.
Line Command
The Command Line window by default is shown between
the drawing window and the status bar area. If you don’t
like its position, you can dock it above or along the left or
right side of the drawing window. The Command Line
window plays a key role in inputting commands, options,
and values to create and modify objects. With the Line
command you can draw a simple line from one point to
another. When you pick the first point and move the
crosshairs to the location of the second point you will see
a rubber band line which shows you where the line will
be drawn when the second point is picked.
Command: LINE or L(enter)
Specify first point: (pick P1), Specify next point or
[Undo]: (pick P2), Specify next point or [Undo]:
[press esc or enter]
Polyline Command
The Polyline or Pline command is like the line command except that the resulting
object may comprise several 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. In practice the Polyline command works in the same way as the Line
command allowing you to pick as many points as you like. As with the Line
command, you also have the option to automatically close a polyline end to end. To
do this, type C to use the close option instead of hitting. Follow the command
sequence.
Command: PLINE or PL[enter]

Specify start point: (pick P1), Current line-width is 0.0000,
Specify next point or [Arc/Half width/Length/Undo/Width]: (pick P2)
13
Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Half
width/Length/Undo/Width]: (pick P3)
width/Length/Undo/Width]: (or C to close)
Rectangle Command
The Rectangle Command is used to draw a rectangle whose sides are vertical and
horizontal. The position and size of the rectangle are described by picking two
diagonal corners. The rectangle isn't really an AutoCAD object at all. It is, in fact,
just a closed polyline which is automatically drawn for you. The Rectangle command
also has several options. Width works in the same way as for the Polyline command.
The Chamfer and Fillet options have the same effect as the Chamfer and Fillet
commands.
Command: RECTANG or REC[enter]
Specify first corner point or
[Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]:
(pick P1) Specify other corner point or
[Dimensions]: (pick P2).
Polygon Command
The Polygon command can be used to draw any regular polygon from 3 sides up to
1024 sides. This command requires four inputs from the user, the number of sides,
a pick point for the center of the polygon, whether you want the polygon inscribed or
circumscribed and then a pick point which determines both the radius of this
imaginary circle and the orientation of the polygon.
Command: POLYGON or POL[enter]
Enter number of sides <4>: 5
Specify center of polygon or [Edge]:
(pick P1 or type E to define by edge
length) Enter an option [Inscribed in
circle/Circumscribed about circle]
<I>: (To accept the inscribed default
or type C for circumscribed) Specify
radius of circle: (pick P2 or enter
exact radius).
Donut Command
This command draws a solid donut shape, it’s just a closed polyline consisting
of two arc segments which have been given a width. AutoCAD asks you to
define the inside diameter i.e. the diameter of the hole and then the outside
diameter of the donut. The donut is then drawn in outline, and you are asked
to pick the center point to position the donut. You can continue picking center
14
points to draw more donuts or you can hit
to end the command.
http://a2zcadcam.blogspot.com/2012/05/donut-revcloud-3d-polyline-commands.html
Command: DONUT or DO[enter]

Specify inside diameter of donut <0.5000>:
(pick any two points to define a diameter or
enter the exact length) Specify outside
diameter of donut <1.0000>: (pick any two
points to define a diameter or enter the
exact length) Specify center of donut or
<exit>: (pick P1) Specify center of donut or <exit>: [Enter]
Circle Command
The Circle command is used to draw circles. There are a number of ways you can
define the circle. The default method is to pick the center point and then to either
pick a second point on the circumference of the circle or enter the circle radius at
the keyboard.
Command: CIRCLE or C[enter]
Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)]: (pick P1)
Specify radius of circle or [Diameter] <50.0195>: (pick P2 or enter the exact
radius.
Arc Command
The Arc command allows you to draw an arc of a circle. There are numerous ways to
define an arc, the default method uses three pick points - a start point, a second
point and an endpoint. Using this method, the drawn arc will start at the first pick
point, pass through the second point and end at the third point.
Command: ARC or A[enter]

Specify start point of arc or [Center]: (pick P1)
Specify second point of arc or [Center/End]:
(pick P2) Specify end point of arc: (pick P3)
Ellipse Command
The Ellipse command gives you a number of different creation options whereas the
default option has only three options, that is, it picks the two endpoints of an axis
and then a third point to define the eccentricity of the ellipse. After you have
mastered the default option, try out the ellipse command.
Command: ELLIPSE or EL[enter] Specify axis
endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center]: (pick P1)
Specify other endpoint of axis: (pick P2) Specify
distance to other axis or [Rotation]: (pick P3)
Note: the ellipse command can also be used to
draw isometric circles.
15
Spline Command
The Spline command initiates a type of spline known as a non-uniform rational B-
spline, NURBS for short. A spline is a smooth curve that is fitted along a number of
control points. The Fit Tolerance option can be used to control how closely the spline
conforms to the control points. A low tolerance value causes the spline to form close
to the control points.
A tolerance of 0 (zero) forces the spline to pass through the control points. The
illustration on the right shows the effect of different tolerance values on a spline that
is defined using the same four control points, P1, P2, P3 and P4. Splines can be
edited after they have been created using the SPLINEDIT command, Modify Object
Spline from the pull-down menu. Using this command, you can change the tolerance,
add more control points, move control points and close splines, among other things.
However, if you just want to move spline control points, it is best to use grips.
Command: SPLINE or SPL[enter]
Specify first point or [Object]:
(Pick P1)Specify next point:
(Pick P2)Specify next point or
[Close/Fit tolerance] <start
tangent>:
(Pick P3)Specify next point or
tangent>:
(Pick P4) Specify next point or
tangent>: Specify start tangent:

MODULE 4
1. understand the function and use of Modify Command

2. explore the function and use of Modify Command
3. manipulate CAD features as per job

1 Computer hardware
Modifying Objects
AutoCAD drawings are rarely
completed simply by drawing lines, circles
etc. Most likely you will need to modify these
basic drawing objects in some way or
another to create the image you need.
AutoCAD provides a whole range of modify
tools such as Move, Copy, Rotate and Mirror.
As you can see, the command names are
easily understandable. However, the way
these commands work is not always obvious.
18
Erase Command
The Erase command is one of the simplest AutoCAD commands and is one of the
most used. The command erases (deletes) any selected object(s) from the drawing.
Remember you can always get deleted objects back by typing U to undo, from the
Standard toolbar or by using the OOPS command.
Command: ERASE or E[enter]
Select objects: (pick an object to erase)
Select objects: (to end the selection and erase the object)
Copy Command
The Copy command can be used to create one or more duplicates of any drawing
object or objects which you have previously created. Copy is a very useful and time-
saving command because you can create very complex drawing elements and then
simply copy them as many times as you like.
Command: COPY or CO[enter]
Select objects: (pick object to copy, P1)
Select objects: (to end selection)
Specify base point or displacement, or [Multiple]:
(pick P2 or M for multiple copies)
Specify second point of displacement or <use first point as displacement>:
(pick P3)The multiple option allows you to create additional copies of the
selected object(s) by picking as many new points as you like. To end a multiple
copy, just hit the key.
Mirror Command
The Mirror command allows you to mirror selected objects in your drawing by picking
them and then defining the position of an imaginary mirror line using two points.
Command: MIRROR or MI[enter]
Select objects: (pick object to
mirror, P1)
Specify first point of mirror line:
(pick P2)
Specify second point of mirror line:
(pick P3)
Delete source objects? [Yes/No]
<N>: (for No to keep the original
object)
Offset Command
Offset is probably one of the most useful commands for constructing drawings. The
Offset command creates a new object parallel to or concentric with a selected object.
The new object is drawn at a user-defined distance (the offset) from the original and
in a direction chosen by the user with a pick point. You can offset lines, arcs, circles,
ellipses, 2D polylines, xlines, rays and planar splines.
19
Command: OFFSET or O[enter]
Specify offset distance or [Through]
<1.0000>: 10 (specify distance)
Select object to offset or <exit>: (select
object, P1)
Specify point on side to offset: (pick
direction, P2)
Select object to offset or <exit>: (to end
or select another object to offset)
Move Command
The Move command works in a similar way to the Copy command except that no
copy is made, the selected object(s) is simply moved from one
location to another.
Command: MOVE or M[enter]
Select objects: (pick object to move, P1)
Specify base point or displacement: (pick
P2)
Specify second point of displacement or
<use first point as displacement>:
(pick P3)
Note: The Copy command, the two pick points, P2 and P3 are used only to
indicate the distance and direction of movement.
Rotate Command
The Rotate command allows an object or objects to be rotated about a point selected
by the user AutoCAD
Command: ROTATE or RO[enter]
Current positive angle in UCS:
ANGDIR=counterclockwise
ANGBASE=0
Select objects: (pick object to rotate,
P1)
Specify base point: (pick base point,
P2)
Specify rotation angle or [Reference]:
(pick second point, P3 or enter angle)
Note: You can change the angle direction and the base angle using the Units
command, Format Units… from the pull-down menu. Click the "Clockwise" check
box to change the direction and click the "Direction…" button to set the base
angle.
Scale Command
The Scale command can be used to change the size of an object or group of objects.
You are prompted for a pick point about which the selection set will be scaled. Scaling
can then be completed by picking a second point (not always easy because it can
20
sometimes be difficult to precisely control the scaling) or by entering a scale factor at
the keyboard.
Command: SCALE or SC[enter]
Select objects: (pick objects to be
scaled, P1)
Specify base point: (pick base point,
P2)
Specify scale factor or [Reference]:
(pick second point, P3 or enter scale
factor)
Stretch Command
The Stretch command can be used to move one or more vertices of an object while
leaving the rest of the object unchanged. In the example below, a rectangle has been
stretched by moving one vertex to create an irregular shape.
Command: STRETCH or S[enter]
Select objects to stretch by crossing-
window or crossing-polygon...
Select objects: (pick first point of
crossing window)
Specify opposite corner: (pick second
point of window)
Specify base point or displacement:
(pick base point)
Specify second point of
displacement: (pick second point)
Trim Command
The Trim command can be used to trim a part of an object. In order to trim an object
you must draw a second object which forms the "cutting edge". Cutting edges can be
lines, xlines, rays, polylines, circles, arcs or ellipses. Blocks and text cannot be
trimmed or used as cutting edges.
Command: TRIM or TR[enter]
Current settings: Projection=UCS Edge=None
Select cutting edges ...
Select objects: (select the cutting edge, P1)
Select objects: (to end cutting edge selection)
Select object to trim or shift-select to extend or
[Project/Edge/Undo]:(pick the part of the square
which you want to trim, P2)
[Project/Edge/Undo]: (pick the circle, P3)
[Project/Edge/Undo]: (to end)
21
Chamfer Command
The Chamfer command enables you to create a chamfer between any two non-
parallel lines as in the illustration below or any two adjacent polyline segments.
Usually, the Chamfer command is used to set the chamfer distances before drawing
the chamfer. Follow the command sequence below where the chamfer distances are
changed to 20 before the chamfer is made.
Command: CHAMFER or CHA[enter]
(TRIM mode) Current chamfer Dist1 =
10.0000, Dist2 = 10.0000 Select first line or
[Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method]: D
(to set distances)
Specify first chamfer distance <10.0000>:
20 (enter required distance)
Specify second chamfer distance
<20.0000>: (first distance value or enter a
different value)
Select first line or
[Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method]:
(pick P1) Select second line: (pick P2)
The chamfer is made and the command
ends.
Fillet Command
The Fillet command is a very useful tool which allows you to draw an arc between
two intersecting lines or adjacent polyline segments. You need first to use the
command to set the required radius and then a second time to select the two lines
Command: FILLET or F[enter]
Current settings: Mode = TRIM,
Radius = 10.0000
Select first object or
[Polyline/Radius/Trim]: R
Specify fillet radius <10.000>: 25
Select first object or
[Polyline/Radius/Trim]: (pick P1)
Select second object: (pick P2)
The Fillet command can also be

used to fillet arcs and circles. The
"Polyline" option also allows you
to fillet all vertices of a polyline
with a single command.
Tips: Make sure that the radius
you specify will fit the objects you
select, otherwise the fillet
command will not work.
22
Array Command
Using the Array command, you can duplicate existing objects in a rectangle or
circular (polar) pattern. You can select which type of array to use in the Array dialog
box. Click the Rectangular or Polar options to see point, distance, and method
requirements for each type.
The following illustration shows a rectangular and polar array.
Command: ARRAY or AR[enter]
Ribbon: Home tab > Modify panel > Array
Note: Do not confuse this command with the 3D Array command.
Menu Browser: Modify > Array
Array Dialog Box: Rectangular Array
1. Click to select the object(s) to
include in the array.
2. Enter the number of rows
(horizontal patterns) for the
array.
3. Enter the number of columns
(vertical patterns) for the array.
4. Enter a distance to offset each
row. Use the simulated preview
window to see the direction of
the pattern.
5. Enter a distance to offset each column.
6. Enter an angle for the pattern.
7. Click Preview to preview the array. Preview is not available until you select an
object or objects for the array.
Array Dialog Box: Polar Array

1. Click to select the object(s) to
include in the array.
2. Enter the center point's
coordinates in the X and Y fields or
click the
Select Point icon to select a
center point in the drawing window.
3. Select the method for calculating
the polar array.
- Total number of items and

- Total number of items and
angle between items.
- Angle to fill and angle between items.
4. Enter the total number of items for the array. This includes the original object.
5. Enter the total angle for the array. A negative number creates the array in a
clockwise direction.
6. Select to rotate each object as it is placed in the array
23
Explode Command
This tool is useful when you have inserted an entire drawing and you need to alter a
small detail. After you invoke the Explode tool, you are prompted to select the objects
you want to explode. After selecting the objects, press ENTER or right-click to explode
the selected objects and the end of the command.
Command: EXPLODE or X(press enter key)

1 Computer hardware
Drawing Aids
Drawing with AutoCAD is just like drawing on a drawing board. Most newcomers to
Computer Aided Design assume that they will need to learn how to draw all over
again. In fact, many of the drawing aids that AutoCAD provides are analogous to
traditional drafting tools
Ortho Mode
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.
26
Command: ORTHO
Enter mode [ON/OFF] <OFF>: (type ON or OFF)
Drawing Grid
The drawing grid is a regular pattern of dots displayed on the screen which acts as
a visual aid, it is the equivalent of having a sheet of graph paper behind your drawing
on a drawing board. You can control the grid spacing, so it can give you a general
idea about the size of drawn objects. It can also be used to define the extent of your
drawing.
Command: GRID
Specify grid spacing(X) or [ON/OFF/Snap/Aspect] <10.000>: (enter grid
spacing)
Snap Mode
Snap mode takes AutoCAD one step further than the drawing board. With Snap
mode turned on AutoCAD only allows you to pick points which lie on a regular grid.
The Snap grid is completely independent of the display grid.
Command: SNAP or SN[enter]
Specify snap spacing or [ON/OFF/Aspect/Rotate/Style/Type] <10.0000>:
(enter the required snap spacing in drawing units)
Units and Scales
Among the most important concepts that newcomers to AutoCAD need to come to
grips with are those of drawing scales and drawing units. You cannot start creating
sensible drawings with AutoCAD until you are familiar with scale units and the
commands you use to control them.
When drawing on paper you must decide to draw and say, 1:20 or 1:200 depending
upon the size of the object that you are drawing so that your scaled drawing will fit
on the drawing sheet, be that A3 or A1. In AutoCAD you do not need to decide upon
a drawing scale until you come to print the drawing and because the scaling of your
drawing takes place at the printing stage, you can create drawings at ascale of 1:1.
Units Control
When you start the Units command, the first thing you see is the Drawing Units
dialogue box, shown on the next page at the right. The dialogue box is divided into
four main sections. The upper two are "Length", which refers to linear units and
"Angles", referring to angular units. Settings for linear units and angular units can
be made independently and, in each case, you can control both the type and
precision.
Command: units
Object Snap
The main reason for this flexibility in using the Object Snaps is that they are used
very frequently. Experienced AutoCAD users will always use Object Snaps because
they are the only way to make sure that the objects they are drawing are drawn
accurately.
27
Endpoint Osnap
The Endpoint Osnap breaks to the end points of
lines and arcs and to polyline vertices. This is one
of the most useful and commonly used Osnaps.
Command: END
Short-cut: Shift + Right Click Endpoint
Midpoint Osnap
The Midpoint Osnap breaks to the midpoints of
lines and arcs and to the mid-point of polyline
segments.
Command: MID
Short-cut: Shift + Right Click Midpoint
Intersection
The Intersection Osnap snaps to the physical intersection of any two drawing objects
(i.e. where lines, arcs or circles etc. cross each other) and to Polyline vertices.
However, this osnap can also be used to snap to intersection points which do not
physically exist. This feature is called the Extended Intersection. To use the apparent
intersection feature, you must pick two points to indicate which two objects should
be used.
Extension Snap
The Extension Osnap enables you to snap to some
point along the imaginary extension of a line, arc or
polyline segment. To use this osnap, you must hover
the cursor over the end of the line you want to
extend. When the line end is found, a small cross
appears at the endpoint and a dashed extension line
is displayed from the endpoint to the cursor,
providing the cursor remains close to the extension.
Command: EXT
Short-cut: Shift + Right Click Extension
Parallel
The Parallel Osnap is used to draw a line parallel to
any other line in your drawing. In operation, this osnap
is slightly less intuitive than some of the others. To
draw a parallel line, first start the Line command,
specify the first point when prompted and then start
the Parallel Osnap. Hover the cursor over an existing
line until you see the Parallel snap marker. Now, move
the cursor close to a parallel position and a dotted line
will appear, indicating the parallel. You can now pick
the second point of your line. The Snap Tip also
includes a relative polar co-ordinate.
Node
The Node Osnap snaps to the center of a Point object. This osnap can be useful if
you have created a number of Points with the Measure or Divide commands. You
could, for example, insert a number of regularly spaced tree symbols (blocks) along
a line by using the Node Osnap for the insertion point of each block.
Command: NODE
Short-cut: Shift + Right Click Node
28
Tips:
⮚ When you are drawing, take a few
moments to consider how you will
construct each part of the drawing and
decide which Osnaps you will use before
starting to work. There is always more
than one way to draw anything in
AutoCAD but the quickest, most
accurate and the most efficient way
always requires the use of one or more
of the Osnap tools.
⮚ Dock the Object Snap toolbar to your
drawing window for quick access to the
Osnaps. You will be using them all the
time, one-click access is essential. See Object Snaps to find out how to display
the Object Snap toolbar. To dock the toolbar, click on the toolbar title and
drag it to the edge of the drawing window.

Creating AutoCAD Blocks

This lesson introduces the creation of AutoCAD blocks to make your AutoCAD book
for symbols. By definition, a block is a collection of objects (lines, arcs, circles, text,
etc.) that make up a more complex entity that typically represents something in the
real world, e.g. a door, a chair, a window, a computer.
There are many advantages to using blocks, here are the major ones:
A. Blocks are a creature. You can change (move, copy, rotate) a block by simply
selecting an object.
B. Using blocks helps maintain the size of your file. The definitions of AutoCAD
block its database. When you enter a block, AutoCAD stores only the name of
the block, its location (entry point), size and rotation. This is noticeable in
many drawings.
Here are the commands that you will need for using blocks in this lesson:
Steps in Creating
AutoCAD Blocks
1.Launch AutoCAD.
2.Create a new initial
layer.
3.Name it according
to the
standards.
4. Create the Zero
Layer.
NOTE: Zero Layer has special features. If blocks are
created, if the objects in the block are mapped to the
Zero layer, they will validate the properties of the
existing layer if they are entered.
5. Select one of the symbols you want to draw. This example uses
only arc / circle and line drawing.
6. Remove the menu or the icon and a dialog box appears.
31
7. Enter information you want to include.
8. The first thing you want to do is give your block a name. Type Fix the Ceiling
Outlet in the edit box next to Block Name. Some names may need to be more
specific, such as part number, or size. Give your block a name by typing in
Ceiling Outlets.
9. Select the Pick Point button and then select the midpoint on the bottom line. Make
sure the button is selected, it will keep your objects on the screen as individual
objects. If you cannot select a single point, your block defaults to 0,0,0 and
you enter all your blocks in the same location - the source.
(You will find out at some point that Pick Point with blocks is very important
when you later insert them into the drawing - always select a point that will
allow you to easily place the block in place.)
10. Pick the Select Objects button and then select all the parts of your drawing/object
and press <ENTER>.
11. Select the drawing units you used to create the original object.
12. Select the OK Button and close the dialog box. Your draw file contains a "Block
Definition" called Ceiling Outlet Repair. Congratulations, you made your first
block!
When the default "Convert to block" button on the radio is checked, move your
mouse over the objects and you will see that they are all highlighted -
indicating that they are now something.
Inserting the AutoCAD Blocks
Once a block is created you may insert it by typing, I <ENTER>. Change to the
Ceiling Outlet Fixture Layer. You will see this dialog box on the screen:
32
By default, all the options you need are already selected. Since there is only one block
in your drawing, its name is displayed.
Make sure the Insertion Point - Make sure the On-screen box is checked, and the
Explosion button is not checked. Scales - specify the On-screen checkbox. Then
press the OK button. Select anywhere on the screen and you will see a block appear.
Find out how the block you got in today's white Zero Layer is in Red and the Ceiling
Outlet Fixtures layer.You can now place a Ceiling Outlet inside each floor plan of
your drawing. You can also copy the block instead of submitting each time, but make
sure you know how you insert it.
A story of a Customer AutoCAD Customer

Rebuilding a career in metal—one template at a time
Thirty years ago, the East Village in New York City was a decidedly grittier and
more industrial place. With the combination of living there, hanging out with artists
and working in a nightclub, Wendy Stevens had an artistic inspiration: create
handbags made out of sheet metal.
With no experience in metalworking, Stevens set out learning the craft—

acquiring equipment and even asking plumbers in her building for tips. Over time,
she refined her handmade bags into, quite literally, works of art featured in museums
and in Vogue magazine.
33
After leaving New York City in 1997, Stevens moved to rural Pennsylvania,
setting up her business and studio in a converted barn. She stayed “low-tech” until
a devastating fire 12 years ago. It wiped out her entire workshop and all the metal
templates she had hammered and created over the years; she had never done any
drawings. As she looked to rebuild her business, she met with a man who owns and
operates a photochemical-machining company that etches sheet metal (and now
etches her metal today). He gave her a big reality check.
“He took one look at my work and said, ‘I know for a fact you're going to have
to do your own drawings—I am not doing them for you.' He was super clear about
that,” Stevens says. “It felt like a slap in the face at first, but my husband said, ‘He's
totally right. Your designs are so particular. You have got to do the drawings.'”
It became readily apparent that it was time to embrace technology. Stevens
enrolled in an AutoCAD LT online training class and went on to find other resources
and help at a local university to learn the software. Within a year, she went from
destroyed templates to completely digitized resources—and an entirely new approach
to her business.
Stevens continues to form every bag by hand with the help of a press brake,
a series of slip rolls, a hand brake and an assortment of small hand tools. But
AutoCAD LT freed her to explore new design opportunities she simply could not do
before. The photoetching possibilities with metal have completely transformed how
she works. Today she has more than 140 handbag designs in AutoCAD LT.
“I was hand-cutting the profiles of all these bags and then punching every
single hole for rivets,” Stevens says. “I work in millimeters to get everything so
precise. Before, the amount of time it took to cut and punch every rivet and hole was
immense. Now, once the design is created in AutoCAD LT and the photo tooling is
made from the drawing, I can order the material from the etcher and receive the parts
ready for fabrication. It's an incredibly efficient process to have the parts etched.
Really and truly, the way I was doing things before was like the Dark Ages. Everything
is figured out beforehand now.”

MODULE 7
1. know the Editing and Attributes of using AutoCAD

2. identified the Editing and Attributes of using AutoCAD

1 Computer hardware
Defining Attributes
Let's take the example of a room tag icon
that will show room number and name of
occupant in your drawing using attributes
as shown below.
Sample room tag.
To make this symbol, create a hexagon with a horizontal line passing through it.
Click the Definition in the attractive Insert tab definition. You can also use the
command equivalent, ATT. A new window on the Attributes definition pop-up. Select
the tag name from the Tags field in the Attributes panel. In the next field, you need
to enter the prompt that appears in the command line or in the Edit Properties
window. I use "Enter room number" as a snatch. In the Default field, enter the default
35
value, which is found without any input. I enter a default value of 00. Select the
Middle center in the Justification drop-down menu and select your preferred text
style from the Text style drop-down. From the text height field, specify the length you
want to attribute the text attribute to. You can also click on the Annotative check
box if you want to make this text announcement. Make sure the "Specify on screen"
box is selected from the Insertion Point panel. From the panel, remove all radio
buttons except the Lock position.
Assigning Attributes to Block Definition

To make the attribute definitions useful, you need to insert them into blocks. I
change this icon to the room and properties in a block. To create a block, click the
Create Block icon within the Block Definition field on the Insert tab. You can also
use the equivalent of this command, B. A new Block Definition window appears. Let's
call this Room Tag block. Now click on the Pick point icon from the base point panel
of the Block Definition window and set a basic point for the block. I chose the
geometric center of the hexagon as the main point. Then click the Items icon selected
from the Items panel and select all the items that make up the Room Tag block,
including properties. When you have made these changes, click OK to accept the
changes and close the Block Definition window.
Inserting Blocks with Attributes

You can insert blocks with attributes in the same way a normal block is inserted into
the drawing. Click the Insert icon in the Block Home tab panel and select the Tag
block from the flyout. Click on a point in
the drawing area to enter it.
If the ATTDIA system variable is set to 1,

you will see the Edit Attribute window
with all the instructions as shown in Fig.
2; however, if the ATTDIA system
variable is set to 0, the prompt will
appear in the command line. Insert
appropriate values in the fields and click
OK to add the block with the attribute in
the drawing area.
Modifying Attributes
To change the definition of an attribute, double-click it. A new Attribute Editing
window will appear in all specific fields, such as Tag, Prompt and Default values. You
can change their respective fields in
the Attribute Editing window and click
OK to accept the modified values.
We say we want to change the

attitude of the employer. To do this,
double-click the tag instructions from
the drawing area and then change the
tag value from OPTION to USE in the
Edit Attribute window.
36
A new Field window appears. From the field category drop-down menu, select
Document and then select Filename from the Uppercase panel and name from the
Format panel. Make sure the file name of the
radio button is selected. When you have made
these changes, click OK to accept the changes
and close the window.
You can also change the definition of attributes

from the Properties palette. To change any
attribute, select it and then right-click and
select Properties from the context menu. A new
Properties palette appears with a list of all field properties, which can be changed
directly by entering new values in the Properties palette.
To change the default properties of multiple drawing properties, select all properties
and then double-click any of the selected properties. A new Attribute Definition
palette will appear from the palette where you can change common features such as
TAG, Prompt or Text length.
Editing Attribute Values

To edit the value of the attribute,
double-click the block containing the
attribute. A new Enhanced Attribute
Editor window appears. This window
will contain a list of all the specific
properties of the selected block. Click
the attribute whose value you want to
change and then enter the new Value
field. Click OK to apply the changes
and close the Enhanced Attribute
Editor window.
Explode and Burst for Attributed Blocks

If you want to return a complex geometry such as blocks or a polyline to geometry
based, the EXPLODE command can be used. Likewise, in the case of blocks with
inherited properties, you can use the EXPLODE command to modify a block with the
underlying geometry and character definitions. The EXPLODE command changes the
specific value of the attribute to its default tag. But if you want to fire a block
containing the attribute in a way that the specified values are hidden at all, then the
BURST command can be used.
The BURST command is part of the
express equipment, and it is not a
native command of AutoCAD. So if
you do not have the installation
tools installed, you may need to
install them before using the
BURST command.
37
Here is an example of our sample block with attribute values like 00 and John.
Upstairs, we have an original block with designated tags. From left to left, we have a
block that explodes, and to the right, we have a block containing the BURST
command.

MODULE 8
1. understand the Object Linking and Embedding of using AutoCAD

2. enumerate the Function of Object Linking and Embedding of using
AutoCAD

1 Computer hardware
Embed Objects
An embedded OLE object is a copy of information
from another document. If you embed objects, there
is no link to the source document and any changes
to the source document will not be reflected in the
destination document. Embed objects if you want to
use the application that created them for editing, but
you do not want to update the OLE object when you
edit the source document information.
Link Objects
An involved object is a reference to information in another document. Link things up
if you want to use the same information in more than one document. Then, if you
39
are updating the original information,
you will need to update the links to
update the document that contains the
OLE objects. You can also set links to
be updated automatically. If you link to
a drawing, you will need to maintain
access to the source application and
the associated document. If you change
or delete any of these, you may need to re-establish the link.
Control the Plot Quality of OLE Objects

OLE objects are treated as raster objects when a plotter raster is used. Because large,
high resolution, rich color rasters can be expensive to plan, you can set the
INEQUALITY variable system to control how the OLED works. The default setting,
Automatic Selection, defines the quality level of the scheme based on the object type.
The higher the plan quality setting, the more time and memory used in planning.
You can also adjust the OLE design quality in the Plotter Configuration Editor. The
Graphics option displays a Raster Graphics dialog box with a slider that controls the
quality of the OLE design.
Note: OLE interrupted objects can cause problems. For example, an Excel spreadsheet
included in a Word document may fail in planning. Likewise, an OLE object that is not
present in the viewing plane is not designed, but the frame is designed based on the
OLEFRAME system setting.
Importing the OLE Object into the Drawing

Use one of the following methods to enter information from another application as
an OLE object:
•Copy or delete information from a file and paste it into the drawing.
• Import an existing file created in another application.
• Open another application from within the drawing and create the
information you want to use.
If you enter information, you specify a point of entry.
By default, the OLE object is displayed using the unplanned frame. OLE objects are
obscene and designed as smoke; they hide things behind them. The OLE object
supports the draw series. You control the display of OLE objects in two ways:
• Set the OLEHIDE variable system to display or prevent the display of all OLE
objects in the space of paper, model space, or both.
• Turn off or freeze a layer to prevent the display of OLE objects in that layer.
When OLE objects with text are printed, the size of the text is estimated as the text
size of the resource application.
Note: The OLE objects in the drawings are not displayed or designed in external
references or reference blocks.
40
Exporting the OLE Object into the Drawing
Link Views to Other Documents

Drawing can be a source document linked to one or more documents in other
applications. The COPYLINK command copies the current view of the Clipboard view.
You can paste the document view into the destination.
If you paste an anonymous view of a document, a lookup name like OLE1. If you exit
the drawing, you will be prompted to save your changes to the newly viewed view. In
order to establish the link and to save the view name, OLE1, you will need to save
the drawing.
Embed Drawing Objects in Other Documents
You can select items and embed them in documents created by other applications.
Embedded ones keep a copy of the selected objects in the destination document. If
you edit the embedded OLE object from within the destination document, the object
is not updated in the original drawing.
