 INTRODUCTION
In this Learning AutoCAD training course, expert author will teach you
everything you need to know to be able to create 2D drawings and 3D models
using the latest version of AutoCAD. This course is designed for the absolute
beginner, meaning no previous experience with AutoCAD is required.

You will start by learning the basic operations of AutoCAD. From there, Awaits
will teach you about the drawing and drafting tools and complete 3D modelling
Tools.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have
learned everything you need to know to create your own 2D drawings and 3D
models in AutoCAD.
 ADVANTAGE OF AUTOCAD
1. A midrange Software
2. User Friendly
3. Fulfils most of the professional needs of a mechanical engineer
4. Lots of Time saving (but not always)
5. Paperless Environment
6. Ease of Accuracy — e.g. joining of lines head to head is not possible
manually with desired accuracy
7. Easy to edit
8. Ease of Repetition / Addition
9. Reproduction of Drawing is easy, rapid and reliable in terms of dimensional
accuracy and precision.
10.2D and 3D production of drawings is very easy.
11.Zoom Command Facility allows us to see the minute details on larger scale
view.
12.A facility of Modelling and making Parts library is available.
13.Parent – Child relationship allows multiple editing in single command,
means if one part is edited all other linked parts are auto edited
14.Data handling, data storage and data sorting become very easy in soft form
as compared to the conventional Printing and filing.
15.Data transmission to distant and remote areas is very easy and economical
via emailing and link sharing.
16.Layers option allows us to hide or show some specific details of a complex
assembly drawing for clear understanding.
17.There is no limitation of a Drawing size. You can draw a 2 light years long
line through proper scale stetting.
18.Auto scale option is available. Full scale drawings can be formed.
19.Geometrical relationship can make quick mathematical operations easy, e.
g. you can make an inscribed circle using dimensions of the triangle or
polygon etc.
20.BOM or BOQ can be produced with accuracy
21.Mass, Area, Volume, Centre of Gravity can be calculated
22.Auto Dimensioning – easy, accurate and rapidly done within no time.
23.Dimension Standards are strictly followed
24.Bullion operation is possible.
25.Copy, scale, Move, Stretch, rotate, Pattern commands make the task simple
and easy
26.Draw Guiding through Snap, Ortho etc.
27.Direct and Quick Drawing of Symmetrical objects. e.g circle, ellipse, polygon
rectangles and triangles etc.
28.Geometrical Relationships are possible. Like two parallel lines, Tangent
lines, perpendicular lines etc.
29.Fixed line thickness throughout the drawing. —– remember that,”by
default, the line thickness of auto Cad is zero”
30.Fill, Hatch, Section lines, Chamfer and fillet commands make the software a
blessing as these operations are very difficult in manual drafting.
31.Adding Text – Lettering – is a big facility
32.Images can be imported and traced out for digitization of conventional
diagrams and drawings.

DISADVANTAGE OF AUTOCAD

1. Expensive equipment is required. like Computer, Plotter, big screen

monitor etc.
2. Registered software is expensive and it requires a heavy re-occurring
annual fee.
3. Equipment is fragile, can be damaged drastically.
4. Continuous Updating of the equipment and software is needed.
5. Electricity is mandatory for running the equipment which is a big issue for
third world countries like Pakistan which is facing a severe power crises
these days.
6. Data storage is also fragile — high probability of data corruption, data loss
is a big threat for all soft form data banks. To overcome this potential
disaster, experts suggest “Mirroring of Data” that is storage of data on
multi hard drives on multiple locations which involves a big capital
allocation. Some disaster data recovery systems can also be implied to
recover the lost data.
7. Piracy and hacking threats are always there when you use internet for data
transfer or even storage of data on a computer which is connected to
internet.
8. Special computer Skills are required.
9. Proper Maintenance, supervision and administration is required for
computer networking.

Layer panel
There are lots of important panels to work with the layer in AutoCAD. When
we have to get a print of any design and we don’t want to show any object from
it then go to the layer panel and click on the print off after that, that object will
not be print. It is used to show & hide the diagram of any plan.
