 INTRODUCTION

 AutoCAD is the software majorly used for drafting purpose.

 The word AutoCAD is made up of two words “Auto” (digital) and “CAD” (Computer
Aided Designing).

 It is developed by Autodesk Company.

 CAD is a utility tool or technology that is used for sharing of information with the help
of computer.

BENEFITS OF AUTOCAD

 File Handling
 Global File Sharing
 Easy to Modify
 More Accurate and Precised
 Improved Quality Over Hand Drafting
 More Reliable

AUTOCAD SCREEN

TEXT COMMAND

To write the text in AutoCAD, type T then press ENTER key.

Then specify the corner points.
Then a rectangular window will appear where text can be typed. Also, from upper panel
text size, font and colour can be changed.

7
 BLOCK COMMAND

When the same object shown multiple times in a diagram then we use block command.
First, we draw that object then type B then press ENTER key. Then a pop-up window
will appear where we first provide a name then select the object then specify pick point.
Then click OK.
To insert the block, we first type I then press ENTER key. Then select the block
by choosing its name. Then click OK. Then click on screen with left mouse buttonto put
that object where it is required.

HATCH COMMAND

Hatching is used in technical drafting to communicate that an area of the drawing has a
particular attribute. It indicates that a section cut through a part is a particular material or
attribute.

For hatching, type H then press ENTER key then type T then press ENTER key. Then
a pop-up window will appear on screen. Then we change pattern, colour, angle and scale
according to the requirements. Then click OK.
8
If we have to edit the hatching, type HEDIT then press ENTER key and click on the
hatched area and do the changes.

DRAWINGS MADE IN AUTOCAD

 By the use of line, offset, osnap, trim, mirror, circle, ellipse, arc commands.

9
 By the use of line, offset, osnap, trim, mirror, circle, arrayclassic, ellipse, arc
commands.

 By the use of line, offset, copy, osnap, trim, mirror, circle, special line,
arrayclassic, ellipse, arc, construction line commands.

10
 By the use of line, offset, divide, point style, osnap, trim, fillet, construction line
commands.

 By the use of line, offset, block, insert, osnap, line type, trim, circle commands.

11
 By the use of line, offset, rotate, ellipse, fillet, osnap, line type, hatch,
arrayclassic, trim, circle, construction line, special line commands.

 By the use of line, offset, fillet, osnap, line type, hatch, trim, circle, special line,
arc commands.

12
 By the use of line, offset, fillet, osnap, line type, hatch, trim, circle, extend, stretch,
arc, construction line commands.

13
 LAYOUT

When we have to insert a diagram in required size of paper or with title box then we use
layout function. First, go to layout. Then right click on it and go to page setup manager.
Then go to modify and set the file type, paper size and orientation of paper. Then
right click on model view and delete it. Then create a new model view by typing MV
then press ENTER key. Then double click inside the model view to activate it and set
the desired scale and object for printout. Then double click outside the model view to
activate layout. Then CTRL + P and take the print out.

14
 DRAWING ON LAYOUT

 In DWG form on layout

 In PDF form

15
 ISOMETRIC DRAWING

Isometric projection is a method for visually representing 3D objects in 2D in technical

and engineering drawings. In this projection, all three angles made by X, Y and Z axis
are 120° each.
To make isometric drawing, we have to first go to drafting setting by typing DS then
press ENTER key. Then go to snap and grid. Then go to snap type and click on
Isometric snap.

 Rules on Isometric Drawing:-

1. Ortho should always be on.
2. Use F5 key to change between planes.
3. Circle, Rectangle, Mirror and Offset commands should not be used in isometry.

16
 3D DRAWING

3D Drawing is used to depict something that has volume or space.

 Rules on 3D Drawing:-

1. Object must be in polyline.

2. Object must be in a closed loop.
3. Loop should not be self- intersecting.

 Commands to convert objects from 2D to 3D:-

1. EXTRUDE:- Type EXT then press ENTER key. Then select the objects to extrude
then press ENTER key. Then specify height then press ENTER key. It is used to
create solid model.
2. PRESSPULL:- Type PRESS then press ENTER key. Then select face and specify
the changes.

3D DRAWING MADE IN AUTOCAD

 By the use of line, rectangle, circle, extrude, union, subtract, move, copy
commands.

 In 2D Wireframe Visual Style

17
 In Conceptual Visual Style

 CONCLUSION

This report covered the preview of our learning path and study materials. The use of
AutoCAD has many advantages. It can help to reduce the time it takes to produce the
drawing needed in the work environment. AutoCAD software is the most amazing
range of mechanical computer aided design tool. It is now considered to be the best
according to industry standards that can be obtained for a wide array of designing,
Mechanical Engineering Services and other industrial purposes.

The use of AutoCAD may also be relied on heavily in order to create efficiencies within
the industries. We were guided by the fact that there is more to learning AutoCAD
than drawing simple figures and lines. It has very vast application in the field of
manufacturing, architecture, electrical, and many more. With the help of AutoCAD,
we can create design very quickly. It improves the quality of the drawing which we
can’t get by hand drafting. With the help of this software, drawing can be easily
modified whenever wanted which reduces the human effort. We can easily transfer
files from one place to another in no time which reduces the time.

This software is utilized to provide some useful and practical designing software that
will allow users to visualize as well as create prototypes of a product in reality and
quick time. AutoCAD software allows developers to give form to their out of the box
ideas.
