Instructions
The following instructions are to be followed while performing the labs:
• The manual must be thoroughly read before starting the lab.

• The theoretical concepts related to the lab and experiments must be revised.
• All attempts shall be made to complete the lab during the lab session.
• Any attempt to plagiarize from any source will be reported to the disciplinary committee for further action, so keep
the work original.
Objectives
• To get hands on experience of AutoCAD software.
Background Information
Basic drawing tools are used to create some simple drawings. However, to create complex drawings, various
editing operations are required to perform. The tools to perform the editing operations are available in the
Modify panel on the home ribbon. Using these editing tools, existing objects are modified or use existing
objects to create new or similar objects.
Move tool
The Move tool moves a selected object(s) from one location to a new location without changing its
orientation. To move objects, you must activate this tool and select the objects from the graphics window.
After selecting objects, you must define the ‘base point’ and the ‘destination point’.
Example:
Create the drawing as shown below.
Click Home > Modify > Move on the ribbon or enter M in the command line. Click on the circle located at
the right-side, and then right-click to accept the selection. Select the center of the circle as the base point.
Make sure that the Ortho Mode is activated. Move the pointer toward right and pick a point as shown below.
This moves the circle to the new location.
The Copy tool

The Copy tool is used to copy objects and place them at a required location. This tool is similar to the Move
tool, except that the object will remain at its original position and a copy of it will be placed at the new
location.
Rotate Tool
The Rotate tool rotates an object or a group of objects about a base point.
Scale Tool
The Scale tool changes the size of objects. It reduces or enlarges the size without changing the shape of an
object.
Trim Tool
When an object intersects with another object, you can remove its unwanted portion by using the Trim tool.
If there are multiple intersection points in a drawing, then it simply selects the select all option from the
command line; all the objects in the drawing objects will act as ‘cutting edges.
• Click Home > Modify > Trim on the ribbon or enter TR in the command line. Now, you must select the
cutting edges.
• Press ENTER to select all the objects as cutting edges. Now, you must select the objects to be trimmed.
The Extend tool

The Extend tool is similar to the Trim tool but its use is opposite of it. This tool is used to extend lines, arcs
and other open entities to connect to other objects. To do so, you must select the boundary up to which you
want to extend the objects, and then select the objects to be extended.
• Start a new drawing.
• Create a sketch using the Line tool.
• Click Home > Modify > Extend on the ribbon or enter EX in the command line.  Select the vertical line as
the boundary edge. Next, right-click.
• Select the horizontal open line. This will extend the line up to the boundary edge.
Fillet Tool
The Fillet tool converts the sharp corners into round corners. It is required to define the radius and select the
objects forming a corner.
You must define the radius and select the objects forming a corner.
• Start a new drawing.
• Type Limmax in the command line and press ENTER.
• Set the maximum limit to 100,100 and press ENTER.
• Click Zoom All on the Navigation Bar.
• Click Home > Draw > Polyline on the ribbon.  Define the start point as 20, 50.
• Draw the lines as shown below
• Right-click and select Enter.
• Click Home > Modify > Fillet on the ribbon or enter F in the command line.
• Select the Radius option from the command line.  Type 5 and press ENTER.
• Select the vertical line and the horizontal line as shown below.
• Notice that a fillet is created.
The Chamfer tool

The Chamfer tool replaces the sharp corners with an angled line. This tool is similar to the Fillet tool, except
that an angled line is placed at the corners instead of rounds.
• Click Home > Modify > Fillet > Chamfer on the ribbon or enter CHA in the command line.
• Follow the prompt sequence given next: Select first line or
[Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method/Multiple]:
• Select the Distance option from the command line.
• Define first chamfer distance: Enter 8 as the first chamfer distance and press ENTER.
• Define second chamfer distance: Press ENTER to accept 8 as the second chamfer distance.
• Select first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method/Multiple]: Select the vertical line on the right-
side.
• Select second line or shift-select to apply corner or [Distance/Angle/Method]: Select the horizontal line
connected to the vertical line.
Task:
Draw the drawing as shown below. Also, write the procedure aided with the command sequence.
Task1:
Procedure:
Following are the steps to make this diagram:
 I draw two circles
 then using trim tool perform a few changes and trim the desired part so to get the required arc
 then set the arc according to the dimensions
 draw a horizontal line at the left of the arc and join it with the arc
 Draw the same line at bottom with few distant.
 Than draw the arc to connect the two lines
 Draw the circle at the centre of these lines
 Copy the left part and mirror it at the right side of the upper arc.
 Similarly copy the upper arc, mirror it and connect with the horizontal lines
 Using the fillet tool round all the edges in the diagram
 Draw a large circle at the centre of the diagram
