    This document provides instructions for a series of AutoCAD practice exercises to be completed. The exercises involve drawing basic geometric shapes and figures using coordinates. Exercise 1 involves drawing a simple figure to become familiar with using the command window. Exercise 2 orients the figure within a coordinate system. Later exercises involve drawing figures with given points, distances, and diameters to practice various AutoCAD drawing skills like activating ortho mode, drawing tangential lines, and using specified distances to draw segments between points. The assignment involves completing 11 total exercises that reinforce foundational AutoCAD skills.

    Auto CAD Practice (to be submitted next week)

    Exercise 1
    To begin, we will start by trying to draw this simple figure below. Too simple right? The
    objective here is to learn how to use the command window in AutoCAD in order to draw
    without using the mouse. This will help us have a first glimpse on how this window
    works.

    We have 4 points and we have the coordinate of each of them. So, basically we have
    each starting point of our lines and each ending point.

    Exercise 2

    AutoCAD draws lines using coordinates. To better explain, we put our figure in a system
    of coordinates in the image below in order to improve our understanding. If we consider
    a coordinate system formed by X, Y, this is how our exercise will fit in the system.
    To draw this, open a new file in AutoCAD

    1. Type “LINE”
    2. Specify first point: 5,0
    3. Specify next point or [Undo]: 10,0
    4. Specify next point or [Undo]: 10,7
    5. Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: 5,5
    6. Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: 5,0
    7. Hit the ENTER once more
    8. Click on 8  (look at the figure below)
    (The part in bold is what AutoCAD is asking you to enter. You will see those same words displayed in
    the command windows. You should enter are those coordinates, e.g. 5,0 -> 10,0 -> 10,7 and so on.
    However, remember after each step you need to validate your action by pressing the ENTER key on
    your keyboard)
    There you go! We are done with creating the figure. You noticed how we are able to
    draw without using a mouse. It may be difficult for a newcomer but not impossible.
    AutoCAD draws lines from one point to the other and starts the next line where the
    previous one ended. In step 7, we disabled the LINE command and at that step you can
    also press the ESC key instead of the ENTER key, it will serve the same purpose. Step 8 is
    just to zoom out completely so you may see what you have just drawn.

    Exercise 3

    Welcome to Day 2 of our 20 Days of 2D Exercises in AutoCAD. Today we have the


    exercise below where we are given a basic figure to draw. Our figure has 6 points: A, B,
    C, D, E and F, and we know the distance of each segment as AB=5, BC= 7, DC= 2.5, DE= 3,
    EF= 2.5, FA=4.

    The coordinate of the starting point is given but is not that important for this exercise.
    Check 2D AutoCAD exercise Day #1 to see its importance.
    To draw this figure.

    1. Type LINE
    2. Specify first point: 5,0
    3. Make sure ORTHO is activated, give a right orientation to your line using your
    mouse, and type 5
    4. Orientate your line upward using your mouse and type 7
    5. Give the left direction to your line using your mouse and type 2.5
    6. Orientate your line downward and type 3
    7. Give the left direction to your line and type 2.5
    8. Orientate your line downward and type 4
    9. Press ESC
    If you do not know how to activate the ORTHO mode, you should read the 9 tips on
    AutoCAD for beginners. As an example, below is a typical exercise you should be able to
    perform after following the steps above.
    Exercise 4

    Welcome to Day #3 of this series of learning AutoCAD with exercises. Today, we have a


    but more complex exercise compared to the two previous ones.
    On Day #2, you learned how to draw lines with specific distances. In this exercise, all
    distances are given but remember that while drawing a circle in AutoCAD that by
    default, the software will ask you to enter the radius of the circle. In this exercise,
    however, we are given diameters.
    Make sure to learn and understand the Day 1 exercise so you will be able to stick your
    line on the circle at A and A' the proper way.
    The TANGENT should be activated. Start from the bottom, meaning start the line at the
    point W' and end it at A'. While approaching the circle, AutoCAD will help you snap the
    end of the line on a right tangentially to the circle.

    9 tips you should know on your Day 1 of Using AutoCAD


    You should notice the green circle in AutoCAD, as shown below.

    Using this technique, you should be able to draw the complete figure below.
    We reached the end of today's exercise, feel free to comment, like and share.

    Assignment (50 marks)


    The value of A will unveil itself after drawing the part you are given
    information about.
    Exercise 2
    You can find this same Exercise in the post where we learned how to work
    with layers in AutoCAD.
    The following image gives some missing information you will need.
    Exercise 3
    This is an easy one. It was actually first introduced when we learned how
    to draw circles and how to trim in AutoCAD.

    Exercise 4
    This is a cool exercise that will help you think a little bit. All dimensions are
    given!
    While you are it, I believe you should check this AutoCAD quiz.
    Exercise 5
    This exercise first appeared in this AutoCAD practice exercise.
     
    Exercise 6
    If you were able to complete previous exercises, this one could be boring
    nevertheless it is not totally unnecessary to have it on the list. I should

    have put it above 

    Exercise 7
    Exercise 8
    Exercise 9
    Exercise 10
    Exercise 11
    If you find any difficulties working on these Exercises, Here is what you
    need to do. Either drop a comment below or simply visit the series learn
    AutoCAD Basics, Each of these exercises was treated in depth in the last
    CAD series.
    Let’s use the image below to practice in AutoCAD.

    The following figure is a 2D figure and where all data are being provided.
    We should be able to replicate this with ease.
