Easy autocad tutorial

Modifying and manipulating drawing. Part 4 — Drawing tools. What is the name of status bar icon encircled in red? Ortho mode. Polar tracking. Dynamic input. Object snap tracking. Which option of the status bar will activate the Tooltip as shown on the cursor? Object snap. State True or False: You can change polar tracking angle to any angle of your choice. To fill closed area with a single color which hatch pattern will you use? Filled area can't be made with hatch command.

Which function key enables object snap in AutoCAD? Which factor of hatch command you will change to correct the spacing between hatch lines or pattern?

Which object snap tool was added in AutoCAD version? Geometric center. Apparent intersection. To toggle between different fields of dynamic input which key can be used? Drawing Tools. Part 5 — Drawing features and properties. Which option of layer properties is indicated by light bulb icon here? To change a block into normal drawing object which command can be used? Which layer is automatically created when a dimension is added to the drawing? Layer 0. Layer 1. Which of the following layer can be deleted from layer property manager palette?

Layer containing objects. Frozen layer not containing objects. What is the highest value of layer transparency? At this time you will learn about global and relative coordinate, then snap tools. After finishing this step, you will be able to draw precisely. Next step: modify tools. There are many modify tools. But same as drawing tools, the name should describe what they do. Or at least the icon will describe more. You can just let your pointer above the icon, and let the help tooltip expand and explain more.

You can also try to activate the tool, then press F1. It will open help file with the related topic. They open then search the help file. After you playing with the modify tools, now you should learn about object selection. You will need to select objects when you modify or manipulate them.

Selecting one object is peace of cake. But if you have also need to modify drawing then you should learn more tricks. I have written about this before. When you get to this step, maybe you want to read more advanced object selection here. You can use noun-verb or verb-noun selection to modify objects. But I think the default is verb-noun selection, contrary to Windows default: noun-verb selection. Ok, now you can draw, you can modify your drawings.

Next step: creating annotations and understand using styles. What is annotation? It can be text, hatches, dimensions, tables, etc. The problem in this step might be setting up the annotation styles and scales. Styles are used to defining how your annotation will look like. There are a lot of option in styles, but what usually confusing is options related to the scale. What size are my dimension arrows should be set? Thanks to Autodesk, now you can set this comfortably using annotation scale.

If you work in a company that has to establish a drawing standard, you might not need to set styles anymore. Just use a template that already has all the styles, then use it. Now you need to get to be more productive. Remember, drawing with AutoCAD is not just about how fast you can finish the drawing.

But your drawing also needs to be easy to be modified. Not only by you, but also by your team member. You need to manage your drawing and objects inside it. In this step, you will learn about layers, layout, and may be sheet sets if you want to go further. If you see an AutoCAD drawing, many objects are repetitive. You can see symbols, standard parts, common objects and much more.

Yes, you can copy it multiple times, but we want to be more productive. Spline in AutoCAD. Muebles AutoCAD. Hatch AutoCAD. AutoCAD Fillet. Sweep in AutoCAD. Viewport AutoCAD. Revolve in AutoCAD. Offset in AutoCAD. Loft in AutoCAD. AutoCAD Stretch. Polyline in AutoCAD. Leader in AutoCAD. Block in AutoCAD. AutoCAD Alternatives. Creating layouts and maps Used with other 3D programs to generate models and drawings.

AutoCAD's paper space mode is a bit like having a page in a scrapbook onto which you can paste different views of your AutoCAD drawing. This whole page can then be plotted. This exercise demonstrates how. This tutorial demonstrates a number of workflows from quick and simple to high quality. This tutorial takes you through the steps required to add realistic sunlight effects to your 3D model.

This tutorial demonstartes how to create your own bitmap based materials using Photoshop and AutoCAD. This tutorial shows you how to create perfectly seamless image tiles in Photoshop. This tutorial takes a step-by-step approach to moving your AutoCAD 3D models into Bryce, applying materials and creating a setting. AutoCAD can be used to create a simple "walk through" of any 3D model.

This tutorial shows you how. Running time: 2min 23sec. This tutorial follows on from the Getting ready for 3D tutorial and describes how each of the 3D primitives work.

Running time: 15min 10sec. This tutorial follows on from the 3D Primitives tutorial and describes how 3D solid objects can be edited using grips and gizmos. Running time: 11min 53sec. This tutorial introduces the ViewCube and describes how it can be used for effectively navigating your 3D drawings.

Running time: 6min 13sec. This tutorial explains how to turn ground shadows on and how they help in defining the relationship between 3D objects and the ground plane. Running time: 1min 55sec. This tutorial introduces the subobjects Face, Edge and Vertex , describes how best to select them and demonstrates how they can be edited. Running time: 15min 56sec. A good understanding of both tools is important for developing 3D modeling skills. Running time: 9min 53sec.

Running time: 6min 35sec. This tutorial introduces the 3D Scale and 3D Align tools. Although 3D Scale is a bit of a damp squib, 3D Align is very powerful and can get you out of all sorts of scrapes if you know how to use it correctly. Running time: 3min 42sec. This tutorial introduces the 3D Mirror tool. This is similar to the normal 2D Mirror tool but it enables you to define a mirror about and plane in 3D space and there are a number of command line options to help you define that plane.
