AutoCAD Tutorial - Part1:     Draw the front view of the mechanical
.                             part from Tutorial 3.




    ME1105 – CAD Tutorial 1       1               Prepared by A.Kovacevic
In this tutorial you will learn how to start AutoCAD, make the new drawing,
                             draw the front view of the object shown and how to save a drawing.

Starting AutoCAD
                             Log on to the computer using your university login name and password.
                             Start AutoCAD by double clicking on the AutoCAD icon or through
                             Start/Programs/Main Applications/AutoCAD 2009 menu.
                      Once AutoCAD has loaded, first cancel AutoCAD Today window by pressing
                      on the X on the top right side of the window. Then move the mouse around until
                      you see a crosshair cursor. The AutoCAD window has a number of important

Command Entry
                                 Typically there are three ways of giving a command!
                                    1. Type the command using the keyboard - the command is displayed in the
                                       command area.
Not all commands are on the         2. Select the command from a menu (under the big red A).
     Menus and/or toolbars!
                                    3. Select the command's icon from a ribbon panel.

                                 When we want you to type a command in the command area the AutoCAD
   This means : type the text command will be written like:
  (qsave) and then press the
Enter key (or the space-bar).    type: QSAVE
     This means: click on the When we want you to select a command from a menu, it will look like:
  'File' menu and then 'Save'
 (which should be one of the
    items on the 'File' menu).
                                 select File - Save

    AutoCAD also supports
common shortcuts like Ctrl-S When I want you to pick a command from a toolbar, I'll write:
                  for Save!!

                                     select Save
 Here I'm trying to cover all
 the bases by giving you the
 command to type, the menu
   options and showing you
 what the toolbar icon looks
                        like! Despite all of the above, I'll probably use a combination of the above like:

                                     select File - Save (or type QSAVE )

Create and set up New Drawing
                                 Go to City Space ME1105 page and Click on City A3 – V2004Template.
  This will create new blank
                     drawing
                             Switch to the model space by clicking on Model icon (from the Status area
                                 (underneath the command line).

  Set up the drawing limits -     Select: Format – Drawing Limits, then type:

   This repeats last executed
                   command
                                 Press: ENTER to repeat the last command

This turns drawing limits on,
  which enables you to draw
        only within that area.
  Attempts to draw outside it
                                 Type: ON
    result only with message
             **Outside limits

Show the grid Select: GRID from the Status area or type: GRID             and then ON
                                 Select: SNAP or type: SNAP        and then ON

                                 Select Layer Properties manager          or type LAYER
         Select current layer Double click on Layer DRAW to make it the Current layer (green tick).

                                 Hopefully AutoCAD drew a rectangle, which fits comfortably in the AutoCAD
                                 graphics area!? If you can't see the rectangle, type z [space] a [space] (zoom all) -
                                 this instructs AutoCAD to redraw the view, "zooming out" to show all the
                                 graphics on the drawing.

Coordinate Systems
                                 When specifying positions you can use Cartesian or Polar Coordinates. Cartesian
        AutoCAD is a three
dimensional CAD system, so coordinates are simply a X value, a comma, and a Y value, for example: 100,100.
     you can also enter XYZ Polar coordinates are a Distance followed by a < symbol and an angle, for
    values instead of the XY example: 10<25. Angles are measured in degrees, with 0 = East and 90 = North.
         values shown here.
                                 Any of these numbers can have decimal values.
                                 AutoCAD defaults to use "relative coordinates" to specify a position relative to
           Consider relative the current position, for example: 5.6,-3.4 and 16.32<62. To specify a particular
       coordinates simply as
                  distances! position we need to use "absolute coordinates" by preceding the coordinate
                             with #, eg #5.6,-3.4 and #16.32<62.

Draw some lines using Line command
    Instead of LINE, you can We will now draw some more graphics and then save and exit AutoCAD.
      also type: L this is an
"alias" - which is a short-cut. Type LINE     or select     from the draw menu
                                 Type 112,100
                                 Type 0,70

      and select "Settings...".
  To get AutoCAD to display
     the Object Snap Modes
                              The object snap modes can either be typed or they can be selected from the
              toolbar, select
         "Tools","Toolbars", standard toolbar or from the snap toolbar:
   "Autocad","Object Snap".


     To display the "Drafting Settings" dialog, click on the
   "horse-shoe" shaped icon on the end of the Object Snap
                                                   Toolbar.


                                  From the Modify panel Select FILLET icon            or type F or FILLET .
                                  Type R and then type 6 . Note the question Autocad is asking you in

                                  Select the second vertical line from the left and the horizontal line on top of it.
                                  AutoCAD will make fillet in that corner.
                                  Press to repeat the last command and select the next vertical line on right and

is showing the correct directory then double-click on your CADTutorial1.dwg drawing.
If AutoCAD 2009 Today window appears, turn it off by pressing on X in the top right corner.
If you can't find your drawing (in Windows Explorer) then press F5 (function key 5), this tells Explorer to
update the directory display; if you still can't find your drawing then perhaps you saved the drawing in
some other directory - load AutoCAD and then select the File menu, at the bottom of the File menu is a list
of recently opened drawings, select your drawing from the list.

Layers
Most CAD systems have some kind of overlay concept. AutoCAD uses layers. Layers are used to separate
and structure drawings; layers can be turned on and off (for example to vary the amount of detail in a
drawing), and can have linetypes associated with them....




When using AutoCAD, the graphics appears on the current layer, so be careful that the current layer is
correct. Look in the Layers panel: the current layer and its colour is displayed there (see previous figure).

  • 2. In this tutorial you will learn how to start AutoCAD, make the new drawing, draw the front view of the object shown and how to save a drawing. Starting AutoCAD Log on to the computer using your university login name and password. Start AutoCAD by double clicking on the AutoCAD icon or through Start/Programs/Main Applications/AutoCAD 2009 menu. Once AutoCAD has loaded, first cancel AutoCAD Today window by pressing on the X on the top right side of the window. Then move the mouse around until you see a crosshair cursor. The AutoCAD window has a number of important Despite command line features: interfaces being considered totally 1. The standard Windows ribbons and panels. archaic the command 2.

Select the command from a menu (under the big red A). Menus and/or toolbars! 3. Select the command's icon from a ribbon panel. When we want you to type a command in the command area the AutoCAD This means : type the text command will be written like: (qsave) and then press the Enter key (or the space-bar). type: QSAVE This means: click on the When we want you to select a command from a menu, it will look like: 'File' menu and then 'Save' (which should be one of the items on the 'File' menu). select File - Save AutoCAD also supports common shortcuts like Ctrl-S When I want you to pick a command from a toolbar, I'll write: for Save!! select Save Here I'm trying to cover all the bases by giving you the command to type, the menu options and showing you what the toolbar icon looks like! Despite all of the above, I'll probably use a combination of the above like: select File - Save (or type QSAVE ) Create and set up New Drawing Go to City Space ME1105 page and Click on City A3 – V2004Template. This will create new blank drawing Switch to the model space by clicking on Model icon (from the Status area (underneath the command line).

Show the grid Select: GRID from the Status area or type: GRID and then ON Select: SNAP or type: SNAP and then ON Snap to grid Type: SNAP and then 5 Turn SNAP OFF Enter ortho mode Select: ORTHO or type: ORTHO and then ON Select Layer Properties manager or type LAYER Select current layer Double click on Layer DRAW to make it the Current layer (green tick). Close Layer Properties manager. Start drawing the front view of the mechanical part In this part of the exercise you will make a front view of the part drawn in exercise DrE-3 Select Rectangle (or type RECTANG ), then type: The text typed is displayed in the command area at the 100,100 starting point is absolute Cartesian coordinates bottom of AutoCAD's 110,105 continues in relative (Incremental) Cartesian coordinates window. Hopefully AutoCAD drew a rectangle, which fits comfortably in the AutoCAD graphics area!? If you can't see the rectangle, type z [space] a [space] (zoom all) - this instructs AutoCAD to redraw the view, "zooming out" to show all the graphics on the drawing. Coordinate Systems When specifying positions you can use Cartesian or Polar Coordinates. Cartesian AutoCAD is a three dimensional CAD system, so coordinates are simply a X value, a comma, and a Y value, for example: 100,100. you can also enter XYZ Polar coordinates are a Distance followed by a < symbol and an angle, for values instead of the XY example: 10<25. Angles are measured in degrees, with 0 = East and 90 = North. values shown here. Any of these numbers can have decimal values. AutoCAD defaults to use "relative coordinates" to specify a position relative to Consider relative the current position, for example: 5.6,-3.4 and 16.32<62. To specify a particular coordinates simply as distances! position we need to use "absolute coordinates" by preceding the coordinate with #, eg #5.6,-3.4 and #16.32<62. Draw some lines using Line command Instead of LINE, you can We will now draw some more graphics and then save and exit AutoCAD. also type: L this is an "alias" - which is a short-cut. Type LINE or select from the draw menu Type 112,100 Type 0,70 Type 37,0 Type 0,-70 Remember: If you press Press to terminate the command, and then press again to re-start the after you finish a command, the command is re-issued. command!

Snap Modes A simple way to turn Object Snap ON or OFF, is to click It is often useful to be able to draw something from (for example) the end of on "OSNAP" in the status another shape. AutoCAD has a large selection of "snap modes" for this purpose. Area. To see the various The most commonly used snap modes are "Endpoint" (which snaps to the end of snap options "right-click" on the selected graphics entity) and "Intersection" (which snaps to the intersection of "OSNAP" (in the status area) two graphics entities). and select "Settings...". To get AutoCAD to display the Object Snap Modes The object snap modes can either be typed or they can be selected from the toolbar, select "Tools","Toolbars", standard toolbar or from the snap toolbar: "Autocad","Object Snap". To display the "Drafting Settings" dialog, click on the "horse-shoe" shaped icon on the end of the Object Snap Toolbar. From the Modify panel Select FILLET icon or type F or FILLET . Type R and then type 6 . Note the question Autocad is asking you in Make fillet in the corner Command line. Select the second vertical line from the left and the horizontal line on top of it.
