Title:
“Introduction to GUI and Drafting in AutoCAD”.
Procedure:
Computer-aided design (CAD) is a computer technology that designs a product and
documents the design's process. CAD may facilitate the manufacturing process by
transferring detailed diagrams of a product’s materials, processes, tolerances and
dimensions with specific conventions for the product in question.
AutoCAD® is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and
construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.

 Draft and edit 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects
 Annotate drawings with text, dimensions, leaders, and tables
 Customize with add-on apps and APIs
Advantages of using AutoCAD:
1. Accurate and Reduces Errors:
The principle on which AutoCAD works is a dynamic Engineering model. This model blends
design and production drafting together which allows the changes to be made to any part
of the design at any point of time in the entire project. This results in error reduction and
fewer chances of mistakes. Furthermore, the designs which are made digitally always
have room for enhancements and improvement.
2. Save Time & Money:
With a specific and user-friendly interface and workflow, AutoCAD works speedily which
saves the time of the designer. AutoCAD support documentation tools that not only
increase productivity but also help the designers and architects to streamline the designs
and documentation workflows. It also provides solutions to implement modifications in
the projects, thus reducing the time taken. It is an efficient program that undertakes the
work process of the designer and helps in saving time and money and reducing errors.
3. Database for manufacturing :
AutoCAD allows in creating manufacturing data such as materials required for
components, dimensions, and shape of the models, product and component drawings.
This helps in creating and managing a wide database which is an important part of the
production process.
4. Easier Data Transfer:
Using AutoCAD in Architect Designing has made it easier to share files with multiple
people simultaneously. It is not easy to work on heavy files and then share them without
any data loss. But this software has made it easy to upload the designed data on the
internet and sharing it with numerous other designers.
Applications of AutoCAD:
There is virtually no limit to the kinds of line drawings using AutoCAD. If a drawing can be
created by hand, it can be generated by AutoCAD. Here are a few of the applications of
the AutoCAD:

 Architectural drawing of all kinds

 Interior design and facility planning
 Work-flow charts and organizational diagrams
 Proposals and presentations
 Graphs of all kinds
 Drawings for electronic, chemical, civil, mechanical, automotive and aerospace
engineering applications
 Topographic maps and nautical charts
 Yacht design
 Plots and other representations of mathematical and scientific functions
 Theater set-lighting designs
 Musical scores
 Technical illustrations and assembly diagrams
 Company logos
 Greeting cards
 Line drawings for the fine art

“Introduction to draw panels and different
drawing tools.”
Basic drawing tools
Point:
Creates a symbol on the drawing that is tied to a specific point. It is defined by
coordinates (x,y,z). It is not necessary to create points when you want to draw other
geometric entities.
Construction line tools:
Ray = A line with a defined starting point with infinite length at a specified slope, the
command for which is "RAY" and then you need to give the specifications.
Xline = An infinite line with no start or end point at a specified slope. Base point can be
snapped with middle point snap mode. Shortcut "xl"
Polyline:
Polylines are the main business of most drawings. A polyline is made of numerous
lines/arcs/or both segmented together into one selectable object. Polylines are quite
versatile and the PEDIT(Polyline Edit) command can be used to access & edit many of the
features associated with them. Shortcut "pl"
Polygon:
Polygons are regular, multisided shapes such as pentagons, hexagons etc. When this tool
is employed, AutoCAD requests the number of sides desired and then asks whether the
shape is to be defined as sitting on a circle of specified radius, or by the length of a side.
The objects created from this command become "Closed Polylines" and can be edited
using PEDIT.
Rectangle:
This is a quick way of drawing a four-segment polyline with four right angles. Shortcut
"rec".
Arc:
An arc is a circle segment. When using this tool the user can define the arc by selecting
three points through which AutoCAD will generate an arc, or alternatively the user can
define a center point, a radius and a range of degrees to fill.
Circle:
The only variables here are radius and centre point. Shortcut "c"
Spline:
Splines are a particular form of curve generated by specific mathematical equations. The
user can select as many vertices as they wish, and AutoCAD will generate a spline curve
that incorporates all these points. Splines are generally used for cosmetic purposes, as
their mathematical complexity makes them hard to define from a technical design
perspective. Shortcut "spl"
Ellipse:
Basically an oval. Similar to a circle, except ellipses require a radius to be defined for both
their vertical and horizontal components. Shortcut "el"
Hatch:
Hatches are area fills. They can be made up of a solid color, a gradient (in later versions of
AutoCAD) or more usually a specific pattern. Hatches can be applied to a particular object
such as a looped polyline, or any enclosed area. They can be (and usually should be)
defined as being "associative" which means that if the area in which they are contained is
adjusted, the hatching will update automatically.
Text:
Inserts a text string into the drawing. AutoCAD uses two forms of text entry, single line
and multiline. These are known respectively as DTEXT and MTEXT. DTEXT is very much a
leftover from AutoCAD's early years and there is no real justification for using its very
basic system when the MTEXT option has features similar to a conventional text
editor.you may also select command TEXT for undefined area.

“Introduction to annotation panel and different
annotation tool in drafting.”

ANNOTATION is what make a project have all its meaning and its raison d’être to
the eyes of someone looking at it when the creator of the project is not around.
Annotations can also help CAD drafters keep track of all the important information a plain
image can not express in a project.
In AutoCAD, few of the many ways to Annotate a draft is to use DIMENSIONS pallet tools and the TEXT pallet tools.

Those will help you put written information on your design making it easier to vision and to elucidate.

TEXT

This pallet provides tools that help you write text in

the drawing area. A text after creation will be
just behaving as an ordinary object in AutoCAD.
You will be able to move it, to duplicate it or do
any other things you would with an image.

Create a text in AutoCAD

Multiline TEXT (MTEXT command)

This command will simply allow you to
create a multiline text object in AutoCAD
as you would if you are using Microsoft
word. To use it, you have to first specify
the area in the drawing window where
you would like the text to appear, then
you will be able to enter your text.

The following shows a result of a text

created using MTEXT
After creating a text (or while), you will be able to control its style and formatting, you
will be able to create paragraphs, to insert symbols, break the text into columns and
more.
To access to the formatting tools, double click
on the text you created.
Single LINE (TEXT command)
Contrary to the latter, TEXT allows you to
create a single line text object in AutoCAD.
The major difference between the TEXT
command and the MTEXT command is that
while creating a text object with the TEXT
command, each time you press the ENTER
key, you are creating a piece of text not in the same entity with the previous one. Both
can be selected separately and move independently one from another.

The TEXT command also easily allows creating texts while playing with their orientation.

DIMENSIONS

While annotating the series, we’ve solely used the following tools to annotate the
AutoCAD practice drawings we provided.
Linear, Aligned, Angular, Radius and Diameter.

DIMLINEAR command
DIMLINEAR most helps put the dimension in either horizontal or vertical lines.
DIMLINEAR settings
While using this command you can
choose to make use of the following
via the command window.

Where Mtext will help access the

properties of the dimension text,
Text will help edit the dimension
text, Angle will help rotate the
dimension text, Horizontal and Vertical will help specify the orientation of the dimension
and Rotate will help rotate the dimension line.
So, how do I achieve the following using the
DIMLINEAR command?

Figure 1

Figure 2

DIMSTYLE command
DIMYTYLE is the command that helps your access the Dimension Style manager.

If you click on the modify button on the right side, the following will show up
That can help you modify the whole dimension style properties of your project.

o There is 1.5 inch width of two vertical lines from the center of the 6 inch line
and a center line between these two vertical lines.
 The we draw the again two vertical lines of 0.5 inch above the horizontal line that is
above of these two vertical lines.
o Then again we draw two vertical lines and close these lines by width of 0.5
inch line.
For Side View:
 We draw two parallel horizontal lines of 3 inch and then we draw a vertical
line of 1.25 inch.
 Then we again draw a line of 1 inch away from the left side of 1.25 inch line.
 Then we draw a line of 0.5 inch above the vertical line of 1.25 inch and of same
parallel vertical line of width of 0.5.
 We draw a line of 1.5 inch from the left side and draw center line between the 3 ich
lower horizontal line.
 Then we draw two bold lines of 1 inch distance from each side.

Final Model:
Model 14:

Procedure:
For Front View:
1. First we draw 2 inch line horizontal and vertical line of 1 inch.
2. Then we draw two horizontal line of 0.5 inch and then again two vertical line and
join the these two vertical line.
3. Then again take vertical line of 1 inch and take 1 inch to left side and join the end of
the point.
4. Then we take the center line from the bottom line and 0.25 line above and below
the center line.
For Side View:
 We draw a vertical line of 2 inch and a horizontal line of 4 inch.
 Again we draw a vertical line of the left side of 1.25 inch and made a circle of 0.5
diameter.
 Then we draw a horizontal line of 1 inch from right side and a horizontal line of 1.25
from the left side.
 And draw a inclined line from left side to the right side and then draw a line from left
side to the inclined line.

For Top View:

 We draw vertical line of 4 inch and horizontal line of 2 inch and make a
rectangle.
 Then we draw a horizontal line from the above line and two vertical line from center
0.5 inch.
 Then we draw give the dimension to whole the lines and circular region .

Final Drawing:
 Model. 15:

Procedure:
For Top View:
 We draw a rectangular line of horizontal line of 2 inch and vertical line 1.50 inch.
 Then we draw a hidden line of 0.5 inch to the right side.
 Then we draw a permanent line at the center the lower side.
 Then we draw a line of horizontal at the distance of 1 inch.
 Then we give the dimension to the horizontal line and vertical line.
For Front View:
 First we draw 0.5 inch horizontal line and 1.5 inch more line.
 Then draw a circle of 0.5 radius and using trim we made lower circle. Then we
draw the inclined line with at the 2 inch height.
 Then we draw a vertical line of 0.5 inch from the left side and again a inclined
line to the other line.
 Then we draw 1 inch line to the right and move to the left and that line move
to up and again do this then make a curve of 1 inch radius.
For Side View:
 We draw two vertical lines of 2 inch and made close.
 Then we made two vertical lines of 3 inch of parallel lines and made three
lines of block lines of distance of 1 inch.
 Then we draw a center line of the circle.
