Line Points: These can be activated/selected by pressing Shift + Right Mouse Button.
Basic Terminology:
 Absolute coordinates: a method of inputting points based on the origin.
 Acad.dwt: default template that loads when you start a new drawing.
 Block: a pre-drawn image that you can insert into your drawing.
 Extent: the outer boundaries of the objects you’ve drawn.
 Grid: this can be used as a guide for drawings—you can toggle on/off with F7.
 Linetype: objects are all drawn with a linetype, e.g. solid or dashed.
 Object: any item in the AutoCAD database, otherwise known as an entity.
 Origin: this is the (0,0) point of your coordinate system.
 Ortho Mode: a mode that only permits you to draw perpendicular lines—you can
toggle on/off with F8.
 Onsnap (Object Snap): the method of ‘snapping’ to precise points on an object.
 Pan: to move around your drawing by dragging the drawing area.
 Polar coordinates: a method of inputting points based on distance and angle.
 Relative coordinates: a method of inputting points based on a start point.
 Ribbon: the ribbon runs across the top of the drawing space and contains panels.
 Snap: a drawing mode that lets you snap your cursor to precise points on a grid
pattern.
 User Coordinate System (UCS): a Cartesian coordinate system that establishes the XY
work plane, horizontal and vertical directions.
 Viewport: a window that lets you view your drawing—you can have multiple
viewports to see different areas of a drawing.
Draw Commands:

LINE Command:
Tool Bar Draw
Keyboard LINE Shortcut L
With the Line command you can draw a simple line from one point to another.
When you pick the first point and move the cross-hairs to the location of the second point
you will see a rubber band line which shows you where the line will be drawn when the
second point is picked. Line objects have two ends (the first point and the last point). You
can continue picking points and AutoCAD will draw a straight line between each picked
point and the previous point.
Each line segment drawn is a separate object and can be moved or erased as
required. To end this command, just hit the key on the keyboard. You can also draw
lines by entering the co-ordinates of their end points at the command prompt rather than
picking their position from the screen. This enables you to draw lines that are off screen,
should you want to. You can also draw lines using something called direct distance entry.
Command Sequence
Command: LINE
Specify first point: (pick P1)
Specify next point or [Undo]: (pick P2)
Specify next point or [Undo]: (to end)
XLINE Command:
Toolbar Draw
Pull-down Draw Construction Line
Keyboard XLINE short-cut XL
The Construction Line command creates a line of infinite length which passes
through two picked points. Construction lines are very useful for creating construction
frameworks or grids within which to design. Construction lines are not normally used as
objects in finished drawings, it is usual, therefore, to draw all your construction lines on a
separate layer which will be turned off or frozen prior to printing. See the Object
Properties tutorial to find out how to create new layers. Because of their nature, the Zoom
Extents command option ignores construction lines.
Command Sequence
Command: XLINE
Specify a point or [Hor/Ver/Ang/Bisect/Offset]: (pick a point)
Specify through point: (pick a second point)
Specify through point: (to end or pick another point)
Example:

Command: XLINE
Hor/Ver/Ang/Bisect/Offset/<From point>: H
Through point: (pick a point to position the line)
Through point: (to end or pick a point for another horizontal line)
RAY Command:
Toolbar custom
Pull-down Draw Ray
Keyboard RAY
The Ray command creates a line similar to a construction line except that it extends
infinitely in only one direction from the first pick point. The direction of the Ray is
determined by the position of the second pick point.
Command Sequence
Command: RAY
Specify start point: (pick the start point)
Specify through point: (pick a second point to determine direction)
Specify through point: (to end or pick another point)
POLYLINE Command:
Polylines differ from lines in that they are more complex objects. A single polyline
can be composed of a number of straight-line or arc segments. Polylines can also be given
line widths to make them appear solid. The illustration below shows a number of polylines
to give you an idea of the flexibility of this type of line.
You may be wondering, if Polylines are so useful, why bother using ordinary lines at
all? There are a number of answers to this question. The most frequently given answer is
that because of their complexity, polylines use up more disk space than the equivalent line.
As it is desirable to keep file sizes as small as possible, it is a good idea to use lines rather
than polylines unless you have a particular requirement. You will also find, as you work
with AutoCAD that lines and polylines are operationally different. Sometimes it is easier to
work with polylines for certain tasks and at other times lines are best. You will quickly
learn the pros and cons of these two sorts of line when you begin drawing with AutoCAD.
Toolbar Draw
Pull-down Draw Polyline
Keyboard PLINE Short-cut PL

The Polyline or Pline command is similar to the line command except that the
resulting object may be composed of a number of segments which form a single object. In
addition to the two ends a polyline is said to have vertices (singular vertex) where
intermediate line segments join. In practice the Polyline command works in the same way
as the Line command allowing you to pick as many points as you like. Again, just hit to
end. As with the Line command, you also have the option to automatically close a polyline
end to end. To do this, type C to use the close option instead of hitting . Follow the
command sequence below to see how this works.
Command Sequence
Command: PLINE
Specify start point: (pick P1)
Current line-width is 0.0000
Specify next point or [Arc/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]: (pick P2)
Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]: (pick P3)
Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]: (or C to close)
Polylines can be edited after they are created to, for example, change their width. You can
do this using the PEDIT command, Modify Object Polyline from the pull-down menu.
RECTANGLE Command:
Toolbar Draw
Pull-down Draw Rectangle
Keyboard RECTANGLE Short-cut REC, RECTANG
The Rectangle command is used to draw a rectangle whose sides are vertical and
horizontal. The position and size of the rectangle are defined by picking two diagonal
corners. The rectangle isn't really an AutoCAD object at all. It is, in fact, just a closed
polyline which is automatically drawn for you.
Command Sequence
Command: RECTANG
Specify first corner point or [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: (pick P1)
Specify other corner point or [Dimensions]: (pick P2)
The Rectangle command also has a number of options. Width works in the same way as
for the Polyline command. The Chamfer and Fillet options have the same effect as

the Chamfer and Fillet commands; see the Modifying Objects tutorial for details. Elevation
and Thickness are 3D options.
Notice that, instead of picking a second point to draw the rectangle, you have the option of
entering dimensions. Say you wanted to draw a rectangle 20 drawing units long and 10
drawing units wide. The command sequence would look like this:
Example:
Command Sequence
Command: RECTANG
Specify first corner point or [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: (pick a point)
Specify other corner point or [Dimensions]: D
Specify length for rectangles <0.0000>: 20
Specify width for rectangles <0.0000>: 10
Specify other corner point or [Dimensions]: (pick a point to fix the orientation)
This method provides a good alternative to using relative Cartesian co-ordinates for
determining length and width. See the Using Co-ordinates tutorial for more details.
POLYGON Command:
Toolbar Draw
Pull-down Draw Polygon
Keyboard POLYGON Short-cut POL
The Polygon command can be used to draw any regular polygon from 3 sides up to
1024 sides. This command requires four inputs from the user, the number of sides, a pick
point for the centre of the polygon, whether you want the
polygon inscribed or circumscribed and then a pick point which determines both the radius
of this imaginary circle and the orientation of the polygon. The polygon command creates a
closed polyline in the shape of the required polygon.
This command also allows you to define the polygon by entering the length of a side
using the Edge option. You can also control the size of the polygon by entering an exact
radius for the circle. Follow the command sequence below to see how this command
works.
Command Sequence
Command: POLYGON
Enter number of sides <4>: 5
Specify center of polygon or [Edge]: (pick P1 or type E to define by edge length)
Enter an option [Inscribed in circle/Circumscribed about circle] <I>: (to accept the inscribed
default or type C for circumscribed)
Specify radius of circle: (pick P2 or enter exact radius)

In the illustration above, the polygon on the left is inscribed (inside the circle with
the polygon vertexes touching it), the one in the middle is circumscribed (outside the circle
with the polyline edges tangential to it) and the one on the right is defined by the length of
an edge.
DONUT Command:
Toolbar Draw
Pull-down Draw Donut
Keyboard DONUT Short-cut DO
This command draws a solid donut shape, actually it's just a closed polyline consisting of
two arc segments which have been given a width. AutoCAD asks you to define the inside
diameter i.e. the diameter of the hole and then the outside diameter of the donut.The donut
is then drawn in outline and you are asked to pick the centre point in order to position the
donut. You can continue picking centre points to draw more donuts or you can hit to
end the command. Surprisingly, donuts are constructed from single closed polylines
composed of two arc segments which have been given a width. Fortunately AutoCAD
works all this out for you, so all you see is a donut.
Command Sequence
Command: DONUT
Specify inside diameter of donut <0.5000>: (pick any two points to define a
diameter or enter the exact length)
Specify outside diameter of donut <1.0000>: (pick any two points to define a diameter or enter
the exact length)
Specify center of donut or <exit>: (pick P1)
Specify center of donut or <exit>: (to end or continue to pick for more doughnuts)
REVCLOUD Command:
Toolbar Draw
Pull-down Draw Revision Cloud
Keyboard REVCLOUD
Command Sequence
Command: REVCLOUD
Minimum arc length: 66.6377 Maximum arc length: 116.6159
Specify start point or [Arc length/Object] <Object>: (Pick P1)
Guide crosshairs along cloud path...
Move the mouse to form a closed shape; the command automatically ends when a closed
shape is formed.

Coordinates: A=(100,100), B=(105,100), C=(105,102), D=(109,102),E=(109,104),

F=(105,104), G=(105,106), H=(109,106), I=(109,111), J=(100,111), k=(100,109),
L=(98,109), M=(98,107), N=(100,107), O=(100,105), P=(102,105), Q=(102,101),
R=(100,101).
1. Draw the shape with following data.

Coordinates: A=(290,100), B=(340,100), C=(390,150), D=(440,100),E=(490,100),
F=(490,150), G=(440,200), H=(490,250), I=(490,300), J=(440,300), k=(390,250),
L=(340,300), M=(290,300), N=(290,250), O=(340,200), P=(290,150).

2. Draw below shape. ii) Select Length as 5.5mm
3. Though this object can be made through lines and arcs, the objective is to make this
one using polylines wherein the lines and arcs are connected.
4. object starts with the smaller circles with the diameter or 0.50 and the rest follows. A
circle-ttr command is more useful than using arc to make the curves.
5. In this objects the direct distance entry could be useful to make the perimeter. For the
curves on the edge, fillet command could also be used. Relative rectangular entry with
snap-from command could ould locate the circles’ center. To make the dash
dash-dot
dot center line
you need to load the line in the linetype box.
6. To make this object, notice the absolute coordinate location of the smaller circle (4, 4.5)
which is where you are going to start with. And tthe
he rest of the object follows with it.
