Ellipse command

Command: EL ELLIPSE

Prompts Under EL command are explained below:
  • Specify axis endpoint of ellipse : It will specify the first end point on the axis of ellipse.
  • Specify other endpoint of axis : It will specify the second end point on the axis of ellipse. distance between first end point and second end point becomes the length of that axis.
  • Specify distance to other axis : It will specify end point on other axis. This will specify end point from the center of ellipse. So, the length of axis will be twice the distance between center point of ellipse and end point specified.
  • Arc: This will start to form an elliptical arc.
    • Promts under Arc are as follows
      • Specify start angle: You can enter numeric value from where elliptical arc starts or click the known point from where arc starts. This will consider the start point or first point which you specified as endpoint as 0 degree and will increment along anticlokwise direction.
        • Prompt Under Start angle:
          • Parameter: It will ask for a numeric value of angle to start the arc. parameter converts the angle in cartesian co-ordinates by taking x and y co-ordinate of center of ellipse. calculation goes as follows:                                                                        Major axis co-ordinate for the start point of ellipse=major axis co-ordinate of center + Vector of major* cos(specified angle) and minor axis co-ordinate for the start point of ellipse=minor axis co-ordinate of center + vector of minor axis* sin(specified angle).
      • Specify end angle: You can enter numeric value from where elliptical arc ends or click the known point from where arc ends. This will consider the start point or first point which you specified as endpoint as 0 degree and will increment along anticlokwise direction.
      • Included angle: You can enter numeric value for angle for elliptical arc. This will consider the right end of your elliptical arc as 0 degree and will increment in anticlockwise direction. This dosent depend on which point you specify first.
  • Rotation: This will ask for a numeric value of angle and will create an ellipse with ratio of major axis to minor axis as cos of the specified angle.
  • Center: This will specify the center point of your ellipse.

How to draw objects faster with perfect precision in AutoCAD | Object snap| polar tracking | Tracking method | Direct distance entry

 Hello Friends, This blog covers topic basesd on object snap tracking, polar tracking, direct distance entry, tracking method for drafting drawing without any any errors at faster speed.  OBJECT SNAP TRACKING: Object snap tracking (F11) works when object snap option (F3) is kept on. object snap tracks various points of object such as end point, mid point, intersection of two objects etc. they are also used to draw parallel lines and perpendicular lines with to respect to a given object.  You can get object snap and object snap tracking option under drafting settings for which you can press "DS" in command box. below diagram shows all the snap points which Autotrack uses. While tracking any objects a "+" sign is displayed on tracking point with a green extension line with a "x" mark. POLAR TRACKING: In autoCAD ortho mode makes it possible to track in vertical or horizontal direction with increment angle as 0, 90, 180, 270. how ever we can set out increme...

How to use direct distance entry system

DIRECT DISTANCE ENTRY (Command modifier)                                                              This will locate the next point at a specified distance along the direction of your cursor. When it prompts for "specify next point" , enter a numeric value. With direct distance entry system you can specify the next point relative to previous point your previous point on which you were working. At any prompt for specifying other point, move your cursor to specify the direction and then enter a numeric value to create or move any object. In the following example, the second point for the line will be located 5 units toward the direction of the cursor. The direct distance that you enter is measured along the path from the last point to the current location of the cursor. This feature is usually used with Ortho or Snap mode turned on. E...

From command

From:  fro (enter) From command is used to draw a line or any objects base point at a specific distance from a particular reference point. (Video link attached at the end of commands)   Command: L LINE Specify first point: fro Base point: Click at corner A <Offset>: 5 Specify next point or [Undo]: fro Base point: Click at corner B  <Offset>: 50 Specify next point or [Undo]: ESC click here to see how to use from command.
