To work with Ellipse

To work with ellipse:

Shape of ellipse is detemined by two lengths i.e length along major axis, length along minor axis.

To draw true ellipse by specifying 3 points:

Command: EL ELLIPSE

Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center]: Click for the first end point on the axis of ellipse.

Specify other endpoint of axis: Click for the second end point on the axis of ellipse.

Specify distance to other axis or [Rotation]: Click for the point on other axis. this distance will be have of your axis length.

To draw an elliptical arc:

Command: EL

ELLIPSE

Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center]: a //This will prompt AutoCAD to draw an elliptical arc.

Specify axis endpoint of elliptical arc or [Center]: Click for the first end point on the axis of ellipse.

Specify other endpoint of axis: Click for the second end point on the axis of ellipse.

Specify distance to other axis or [Rotation]:Click for the point on other axis. this distance will be have of your axis length.

Specify start angle or [Parameter]: Enter a numeric value of start angle or click at the point along which you have to start the arc.

Specify end angle or [Parameter/Included angle]:Enter a numeric value of start angle or click at the point along which you have to end the arc.

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...

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, ...
