To work with arcs

Arcs are the curved objects which can be made by many combinations of  3points, by specifying start, center, angle, length, end, direction, radius.

To draw arcs in clockwise direction.
    Arcs always traces anti clockwise direction, if you want to change the tracing of arc in clockwise direction then press ctrl and start tracing you arc.

Draw an arc by specifying 3 Point method.
  1. Click Home tabDraw panel Arc drop-down 3-Point.  Find
  2. Specify the start point.
  3. Specify a point on the arc.
  4. Specify the endpoint
OR

Command: A (Enter)
ARC
Specify start point of arc or [Center]: Click

Specify second point of arc or [Center/End]: Click

Specify end point of arc: Click

Draw an arc by start center endpoint.
  1. Click Home tabDraw panel Arc drop-down Start, Center, End.  Find
  2. Specify a start point.
  3. Specify the center point.
  4. Specify the endpoint.
OR

Command: A ARC

Specify start point of arc or [Center]: Click to specify start point

Specify second point of arc or [Center/End]: C (Enter) // This will prompt autocad that next point will be center point of arc.

Specify center point of arc: Click

Specify end point of arc (hold Ctrl to switch direction) or [Angle/chord Length]: Click.

Continue tangential line with arc:
  1. Complete the arc.
  2. Click Home tabDraw panelLine.  Find
  3. Press Enter at the first prompt.
  4. Enter the length of the line and press Enter.
Continue an arc with tangential line:
  1. Complete the arc.
  2. Click Home tab  Draw panel  Arc drop-down  Continue.  Find
  3. Specify the second endpoint of the tangent arc.

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.

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, ...
