Types of object;
Smallest component of the drawing is called object.
Complex;
Let me explain by example.some body show you a polgon.ask is it comples or not then polgon can be
complex or simple let me explain how.if you click upon it and It gives one object it is complex and if it
turn into parts then it simple.
Simple;
Which on clicking gives you the different parts.
Draw command;
Line command;
Full command=Line
Aliase=l
Pull down menu

Rubber band line;
First point defined and second point undefined.the effect is called rubber band condition.
Show the distance among the first and the point you are standing(v.iportant during polar mode).i say it
is important in polar mode b/c when you move inside workspace it give you distance as well angle.like if
you want to make a triangle with one corner and distance to other end Is given with angle then just plot
the first point through absolute system move the rubber band line keep a eye on the distance and stop
that at given distance instead of finding the second through pythagoruse theorm.secondly it gives you a
preview before the construction that how will the object will form.
Contruction lines;
Used as view line.they are lines passing from the ends of the object.through we can draw different
views.they are infact projectors.they are infinite in two direction.
Command=xline
Two modes to keep construction line.(keep all or limit it by trimming,we will trim to the desired extent
but not taught in this class.
Purpose;
Its purpose is for refrence only.
Ray;
One point defined other undefined.

Ask start point and through point.

The basic difference b/w ray and construction line is that it is infinite in one d while construction line is
infinite in 2 d.
Purpose;
Refrence line.
Polyline;
Connected sequence of different line.
In one command you draw many lines.
Command=polyline
Alias=pl
Combine use of this command you can draw different length lines with different angles but keep in mind
it will behave as complex object.
Polygon command;
Limit 4--1024
Command=polygon
Alias=pol
Ask no of sides=let 1024
Ask for center=5
Radiuse=3
edge;
when we doesnot about the center.for this you need to mention the length of side.for switching from
center method to the edge just press the down scroll button.
Modify command;
1)erase command;
Command=erase
Aliase=e
After command it ask for the object.it can be done by;
Select object;
a)ctrl x
b)type e and then press enter
c)delete command.
Copy command;
Command=copy
Alias=co
It is important to be noted that in ctrl c(a window command) have no base point option.
Mirror commad;
Command=mirror
Alias=mi
Icon
Dropdown menu
Flipping object about its specified axis to its symmetrical image.
important about it is that you make half it will give you half,but for symmetrical only.
