BENEFITS OF CAD

Can Make Any Complicated Design/Model


Easily.

Accuracy Level Is Better.

Modification Is Better.
The Drawings Can Be Kept For Long Time.

It Consumes Less Time .


DRAFTING

Complete Representation
Of 2D Drawing Is Called
Drafting.
TYPES OF CAD SOFTWARE
 PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE:
We can modify the parameter of any stage of
model.
 SEMI-PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE:
We Can Modify The Parameters Up To Certain
Limit.

 NON-PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE:
We Can Not Modify The Parameters.
Low-end Software: we can do only
design
E.g.: Auto-cad
Medium-end Software:
Design +Manufacturing
E.g.: Solid works, Master-cam , del-
cam
High-end Software:
Design, +Manufacturing + Analysis
What is AUTO-CAD ?
Auto-cad Is Best
Drafting, Semi-
parametric, Low-end
Software.
HISTORY OF AUTOCAD

Auto-cad Is Developed By Auto-desk


Company. It Is An USA Based Company.

The 1st Version Of Auto-cad Is


R1(released1) Or Micro Cad In 1982.

It Is Released From R1……r14. Then Auto-


cad 2000-2013.
Graphical User Interface
(GUI) of AutoCAD
Note
 Extension file of AutoCAD -
*.dwg
MENUBAR ON / OFF
Write menubar in command
prompt
Enter
0/1 (0 for off/1for on)

How to use Mouse button
LEFT BUTTON: For Selection
 Window Selection Method
1.If you select from right to left (green
window) , AutoCAD is selecting every
element it touches.

2 . If you select from left to right (blue


window),it select only those elements which
are enclose in the window you select.
RIGHT BUTTON: For Contextual
Menu

MIDDLE BUTTON:
1.For Panning (To Moving)
2.Scrolling(zoom In/Zoom Out)
3.Fit To Screen By Double Click On
The Middle

CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM

 Absolute Coordinate System

 Relative Rectangular Coordinate


System / Incremental Coordinate
System

 Relative Polar Coordinate System


Absolute Coordinate System
In This System All Points Are Measured From
The Origin(0,0)

T O Enter An Absolute Coordinate System Use


The Format X , Y Where
X=distance And Direction Along Horizontal Axis
From Origin (0,0)

Y = Distance And Direction Along Vertical Axis


From Origin(0,0)
 X,Y
1. 0,0 3. 100,50
2. 100,0 4. 0,50
Incremental Coordinate System
In This System Any Point Is Measured From
The Last Point Entered.

T O Enter An Incremental Coordinate System


Use The Format @X , Y Where
X=distance Along X Axis From The Previous
Point
Y = Distance Along Y Axis From The Previous
Point
@X,Y
1.CLICK ON SCREEN TO GET THE FIRST POINT
2.@100,0
3.@0,50
4.@-100,0
Relative polar Coordinate System
 A Combination Of Angle & Distance Input Is
Called Polar Coordinate System.

 In AutoCAD Angles Are Measured Positive


(+) ,When Measured Counter Clock Wise &
Negative (-), When Measured Clock Wise .

 T O Enter Relative Polar Coordinate System Use


The Format @ L < A Where
L=length Of The Line
