AutoCAD
AutoCAD provides countless methods and tools for producing, viewing, and editing 2- dimensional
drawings and 3- dimensional models. The software permits designers, drafters, engineers, and others
to create , revise, model, and document industrial parts and assemblies for prototyping, model
making, and manufacturing around the word, organizations also use AutoCAD for the design of
maps, buildings, bridges, factories, and about every product imaginable, ranging from car parts and
stereo equipment to snow skis and cellular phones.

The tools used to assist in accuracy of the drawing:
Alignment Grid
The grid command allows you to set an alignment grid of dots of any desired spacing, making it
easier to visualize distances and drawing size. you can turn the grid on and off by pick the grid
button located in the status bar or( by pressing Ctrl+g or the F7 function key).The drafting setting
dialog box permits you to review and make changes to the grid settings:
 Menu bar Tools drafting setting

Snap grid
The snap grid is similar to the visual grid, but it is an invisible one. You cannot see the snap feature,
but you can see the effects of it as you move the crosshairs. It is like a set of invisible magnetic
points. The crosshairs jump from point to point as you move the pointing device. This allows you to
layout drawings quickly, yet you have he freedom to toggle snap off at any time.
Pick the snap button in the status bar to turn on the snap grid ,(or pressing Ctrl+b or the F9
function key).

The Ortho Mode

Ortho short for orthogonal, allows you to draw horizontal or vertical lines quickly and easily.
Ortho is on when the Ortho button on the status bar is depressed. You can toggle Ortho on and off
by clicking the Ortho button.(or press F8 function key).
Polar
Polar makes it easy to draw lines at regular angular increments, such as 30,45,or 90 degree. Using
the F10 key or polar button toggles polar tracking on or off.

3
Object Snap (Osnap)
AutoCAD provides a capability called "object snap" , or OSNAP for short, that enables you to
"snap" to existing object end points, midpoints, centers , intersections, etc. available object snap
mode are illustrated bellow:

Object Snap Tracking (Otrack)

Object snap tracking is active when the alignment paths appear from one or more acquired object
snaps. this feature is a part of AutoCAD's Auto tracking. You can toggle Auto Tracking on and off
with the Otrack button on the status bar or by toggling F11.
DYN
DYN ,or dynamic input, is a feature that helps you visualize and specify coordinate vales angular
values when drawing lines, arcs, circles, etc. DYN may display absolute Cartesian coordinates (X
and Y values) or relative polar coordinates (distance and angle) depending on the current command
prompt and the setting you prefer. Pick the DYN button in the status bar to turn on the dynamic
,(or press the F12 function key).

LWT
LWT short of line weight produces the line weight settings dialog box , this dialog box assigns line
weights to objects.

Model
Model Space used to construct engineering model where paper space used to print or draw
engineering model.

Units
The units command open dialog box to determine measurement units for drawing angles and
direction and precision. Access the command by:
 Menu bar: format units

4
 Length type: determine length types(scientific, decimal, engineering, architectural,
fractional).
 Angle type. Determine angle type. (the default decimal degree).
 Precision.determine accuracy of angles and lengths. Precision is the number of places to the
right of the decimal to display.
 Clock wise control angle direction.

Limits
Limits used To determine the limits of board. To access the command by:
 Menu bar format Drawing limits

Specify lower left corner or [on / off]<0.0000,0.0000>:

Specify upper right corner <420,297>:

Angles in AutoCAD Programs

Angles measure sets the direction for angle 0 .east (x positive) is the AutoCAD default.
( select clock wise from units dialog box if you want to change the AutoCAD default setting for
measuring angles)

Methods of Zooming
Zoom: zooming does not change the size of the drawing objects, zooming change only the display of
objects.
 Real time :Real time is the default option of zoom. if you type zoom ,just press enter to
activate the real time option. you can type Rtzoom to invoke this option directly.

 Window :to zoom with a window is to draw a rectangular window around the desired viewing
area. The windowed area is magnified to fill the screen.

 All, or enter Z and A at the key board. AutoCAD zooms the drawing to its original size.

 Extents, or enter Z and E at the keyboard. AutoCAD zooms the drawing as large as possible
while still showing the entire drawing on the screen.

 Scale: this option allows to enter a scale factor for the desired display.

 In: zoom in magnifies the current display by a factor of 2X.

 Out :zoom out makes the current display smaller by a factor of 0.5X.

 Center :first specify a location as the center of the zoomed area. Then specify either a
magnification factor, a height value for the resulting display, or pick two points forming a
vertical to indicate the height for the resulting display.

 Previous: selecting this option automatically changes to the previous display.

Pan:Pan means to move the display area slightly without changing the size of current view
window. using the pan function ,you drag the drawing across the screen to display an area outside
of the current view in the drawing editor.

REMARK
In all examples must change the
Limit , Units , grid, snap
to appropriate measurement scale
then click View  Zoom  all
to apply changes to the drawing board.

 Hide layer windows.
 Lock layer door.
 Change layer walls color from white to yellow.

Text
AutoCAD supplies two different types of text objects:
1. The Dtext command inserts one or more lines of text as single line objects. The Dtext
command enables you to display Auto CAD text dynamically in the drawing as you type it.
it also allows you to justify ,or align, the text in several ways, including left, right, and
center justification.

2. The Mtext Command ,treats one or more paragraphs of text as single objects. the Mtext
command creates a multiple line object called Mtext. AutoCAD uses a text editor to create
Mtext objects.

Access the command by:

1. Command Line :Mtext
2. Menu Bar : Draw  text
3. Draw Bar :

Command: text
Specify start point of text or [ justify / style]:
Specify height <default height>:
Specify rotation angle of text < 0 >:
Enter text:
51
Dimensions
AutoCAD dimensioning is semi automatic ,when you invoke a command to create a linear dimension
,AutoCAD only requires that you Pick an object or specify the extension line origins ,and pick the
location of the dimension line .AutoCAD then measures the feature and draws the extension line
,arrow heads ,and dimension text.

 Linear dimensions: are those with horizontal, vertical, or aligned dimension lines. a
dimension line is the part of the dimension that typically contains arrowheads at each of its
ends.

Command: dim linear

Specify first extension line origin or <select object>:
Select object to dimension:

 Dimensioning Round Features: use radius dimensions for features such as fillets and rounds.

Command: dim Diameter

Select arc or circle:
Select object to dimension:

 Dimensioning Angles: Dimension the angles.

Command: dim Angular

Select arc, line or (specify vertex):
Specify second angle end point:
Specify dimension arc line location or [Mtext ,text, angle]:

Example: add dimensions to the following figure:

52
Assigning Colors
AutoCAD offers a command named color that allows you to set the color for subsequently drawn
objects, regardless of the current layer. therefore , you can control the color of each object
individually.
To access the command by:
1. Command Line Window: Color or Col
2. Tool Bar: format color
3. layer properties manager:

Assigning Line types

Various types of lines are used in drafting to show different elements of a drawing. by convention,
for example, hidden lines(those that would not be visible if you were looking at the actual object) are
shown as dashed or broken lines. Center Lines(imaginary lines that mark the exact center of an
object or feature) are shown by a series of long and short line segments.
To access the command by:
1. Command line Window: line type or l type or lf
2. tool bar: format  line type
3. layer properties manager:

Setting Line weights

Line weights are important in technical drawing. for example, object lines should be thicker so they
stand out more than dimensions. normally , object lines are thick ,hidden lines and text are of
medium thickness, and center lines, dimensions, and hatch lines are thin.
To access the command by:
1. Command line Window: Lweight or lw
2. Tool Bar: format  line weight
3. layer properties manager
