EXERCISE 2: DRAW TOOLS
2.1 POLYGON
2.2 RECTANGLE
2.3 ARC
2.4 CIRCLE

2.1 POLYGON
AIM: TO DRAW A POLYGON
DEFINITION:
POLYGON COMMAND CREATES AN EQUILATERAL CLOSED POLYLINE
THE DIFFERNCE PARAMETERS OF THE POLYGON INCLUDING THE NUMBERS OF
SIDES CAN BE SPECIFIED
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INSCRIBED AND CIRCUMSERIBED OPTION IS ALSO
GIVEN.
COMMAND: POLYGON
COMMAND: ENTER NUMBER OF SIDES : 5
COMMAND: SPECIFY CENTRE OF POLYGON : 10, 10
COMMAND: ENTER AN OPTION : INSCRIBED IN CIRCLE
COMMAND: SPECIFY RADIUS OF CIRCLE : 5

2.2 RECTANGLE
AIM: TO DRAW A RECTANGLE
DEFINITION:
RECTANGLE COMMAND CREATES AN RECTANGLE POLYLINE
RECTANGLE PARAMTERS(LENGTH,WIDTH,ROTATION) CAN BE SPECIFIED OF
CORNER(FILLET,CHAMFER,OR SQUARE) CAN BE CONTROLLED
COMMAND: RECTANGLE
COMMAND: SPECIFYFIRST CENTRE POINT : 10, 0
COMMAND: SPECIFY OTHER CENTRE OF POINT : DIMENSIONS
COMMAND: SPECIFY LENGTH OF RECTANGLE : 5
COMMAND: SPECIFY WIDTH OF RECTANGLE : 5

2.3 ARC
AIM: TO DRAW A ARC
DEFINITION:
ARC COMMAND CREATES AN ARC USING THE POINTS
THESE THREE POINTS CAN BE COMBINATIONS OF CENTRE, ENDPOINT,
STARTPOINT RADIUS, ANGLE.CHORD LENGTH AND DIRECTION VALUES.
COMMAND: ARC
COMMAND: SPECIFY START OF ARC : 10, 0
COMMAND: SPECIFY SECOND OF ARC : CENTER
COMMAND: SPECIFY CENTRE OF ARC : 5, 10
COMMAND: SPECIFY ENDOF ARC : 5, 15



2.4 CIRCLE

AIM : TO DRAW CIRCLE
DEFINITION: CIRCLE COMMAND CREATES A CIRCLE USING:
I. CENTRE POINT AND RADIUS
II. THREE POINTS ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE
III. TWO END POINTS OF DIAMETER
IV. SPECIFIED RADIUS TANGENT TO TWO OBJECTS

COMMAND: CIRCLE
COMMAND: SPECIFY CENTRE POINT FOR CIRCLE:5,5
COMMAND: SPECIFY RADIUS OF CIRCLE:5
RESULT: THE FIGURES HAVE BEEN DRAWN USING DRAW TOOLS AND THE RESPECTIVE
PRINTOUT IS ATTACHED.


EXERCISE -3 : MODIFY TOOLS I
3.1 MIRROR
3.2 ARRAY
3.3 SCALE
3.4 MOVE

3.1 MIRROR
AIM: TO CREATE MIRROR IMAGES OF SELECTED OBJECTS.
DEFINITION: MIRROR COMMAND CREATES MIRRORED COPY OF SELECTED OBJECTS.
COMMAND: MIRROR
COMMAND:SELECT OBJECTS (SELECT OBJECTS WHOSE MIRROR IMAGES ARE REQUIRED)
COMMAND: SPECIFY FIRST OF MIRROR LINE:0,2
COMMAND: SPECIFY SECOND OF MIRROR LINE:0,6
COMMAND: ERASE SOURCE OBJECT: NO

3.2 ARRAY
AIM : TO OBTAIN AN ARRAY OF OBJETCS USING ARRAY COMMAND
DEFINITION:
ARRAY COMMAND CREATES MULTIPLE COPIES OF OBJECTS INA PATTERN.
IT CAN CREATE COPIES OF OBJECT INA REGULARLY SPACED RECTANGULAR (OR)
POLAR ARRAY.
COMMAND : ARRAY
A DIALOGUE BOX WILL APPEAR
FIRST CLICK SELECT OBJECTS BUTTON TO SELECT THE DESIRED
OBJECTS . ONCE YOU ARE DONE, PRESS ENTER.
NEXT SPECIFY THE CENTER POINT OF THE ARRAY EITHER BY INPUT (OR)
USING PICK CENTER POINT BUTTON.
ENTER ANY TWO OF INFORMATION:
(I) TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS
(II) ANGLE TO FILL
(III)ANGLE BETWEEN ITEMS
CLICK ON OK TO GET THE DESIRED ARRAY OF OBJEC
3.3 SCALE
AIM : TO SHRINK (OR) ENLARGE AN OBJECT.
DEFINITION:
SCALE COMMAND ENLARGES (OR) REDUCES SELECTED OBJECTS, KEEPING THE
PROPORTIONS OF THE OBJECTS THE SAME AFTER SCALING.
A SCALE FACTOR GREATER THAN 1 ENLARGES THE OBJECT AND THAT BETWEEN 0
AND 1 SHRINKS THE OBJECT.
COMMAND : SCALE
