To work with splines

To work with splines.

A spline is a smooth curve that passes through or near a set of points that influence the shape of the curve.

Draw a spline:
  1. Click Home tabDraw panelSpline.
  2. (Optional) Enter m (Method). Then enter either f (Fit Points) or cv (Control Vertices).
  3. Specify the first point of the spline.
  4. Specify the next point of the spline. Continue specifying points as needed.
  5. Press Enter to end, or enter c (Close) to close the spline.
OR

Command: SPL
SPLINE

Specify first point or [Method/Knots/Object]: Click.

Enter next point or [start Tangency/toLerance]: Click

Enter next point or [end Tangency/toLerance/Undo]: Click

Enter next point or [end Tangency/toLerance/Undo/Close]: Click

Enter next point or [end Tangency/toLerance/Undo/Close]: //This will continue till the spline is closed or you press esc or enter.


Draw a spline tangent to and connecting two lines and curves:
  1. Click Modify tab  Blend Curves.
  2. (Optional) Enter con (Continuity) and enter a tangency option.
  3. Select a line or curve near an endpoint.
  4. Select another line or curve near an endpoint
OR

Command: BLEND

Select first object or [CONtinuity]: click on first object

Select second object: click on second object.

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, ...
