Arc Command.

Command: A (Enter)
ARC

Prompts Under Arc command.

Specify start point of arc: specifies start point of your arc

Specify second point of arc: Specfies seond point of your arc

Specify end point of arc: Specifies third point i.e End point of your arc.

Center: specifies the center point of your arc, after the first point has been specified.

End: This will allow you to specify the end point of your arc after specifying the first point.

Prompts Under Center option of arc:

Angle: Specify your included angle of arc in anticlockwise direction. Arcs are traced in anticlockwise direction, to make an arc in clockwise direction press ctrl. even when you are making arc in clockwise direction, specify included angles in anticlockwise direction only. 

Chord length: Specify the chord length of your arc. chord length of arc will decide the included angle of the arc

Prompts Under End option of arc:

Angle: Specify your included angle of arc in anticlockwise direction. Arcs are traced in anticlockwise direction, to make an arc in clockwise direction press ctrl. even when you are making arc in clockwise direction, specify included angles in anticlockwise direction only. 

Direction: This will specify a tangential direction to arc at the start point of arc.

Radius: Specifies the radius of your arc and completes the arc from point 1 to point 2. If radius is negative major arc is created.

Boundary Command

BOUNDARY (COMMAND) Boundary command creates region or polylines from the closed areas.  There two methods to work with boundary option  Boundary creation dialog box "-Boundary" Command. 1. BOUNDARY CREATION DIALOG BOX. Command: BOUNDARY // Following dialog box will open. Pick Points Determines a boundary from existing objects that form an enclosed  area around the specified point. Island Detection Controls whether the BOUNDARY command detects all internal  closed boundaries, called islands, in addition to the objects enclosing the pick point. Object Type Controls the type of the new boundary object. BOUNDARY creates the boundary as a region or a polyline object. Boundary Set Defines the set of objects BOUNDARY analyzes when defining a boundary from a specified point. Current Viewport Defines the boundary set from everything in the current viewport extents. Selecting this option discards any current boundary set. New Prompts you to select the objects that define the b...

Co-ordinate systems

Hello Friends,             This is my first blog on AutoCAD tutorials. I won’t waste time on overview of AutoCAD and its uses which everyone knows. I will start directly with Co-ordinate systems of AutoCAD.             Co-ordinates systems are not of more use left in recent versions but still knowledge of co-ordinate systems is important as this keeps your mind sharp.  ABOUT CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM:     If you want to make any object in autocad you have two options.  1. you can directly click at any know point or  2. you can specify co ordinates of the point in command box. CARTESIAN AND POLAR CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: Cartesian co ordinate system works only on linear distance. it have 3 axis X,Y,Z. when u specify any point with (+ or -) sign it prompts autocad to move along positive axis or negative axis at a specified distance. while working in 2D drafting, ...
