    Introduction to AutoCAD
    What is CAD?

    • Computer Aided Drafting • Capabilities:


    • Autodesk is the most o 2D line drawings
    popular drawing program o 3D constructions
    • Many student versions o Rendering
    available for free online at o Part Assemblies
    students.autodesk.com
    o AutoCAD
    o Architecture
    o Mechanical
    o Revit
    o Inventor
    o Civil
    o MEP
    o etc.
    Workshop Goals

    • What we'll cover: • What we won't cover:


    o Setting up the workspace o Rendering
    o Basic/common commands o External References
    o Manipulating properties o Block creation
    o Viewports and printing o Parts/assemblies
    Starting a New Drawing
    • The big A is like the home button in
    MS Office or the File menu in most
    programs

    • The default template is good


    Setting Up the Workspace

    • The options window lets you set all your


    preferences within the drawing
    • Snap and Aperture settings are on a totally
    personal basis
    Right Click Customization
    • Right-click settings are
    also personal preference

    • Repeating commands and


    meaning enter make the
    drawing process faster
    Preferences
    • You can set the color of
    just about anything in the
    drawing

    • The pickbox and grip sizes


    will help you manipulate your
    drawing
    Snaps, etc.

    • Snap to Grid
    o cursor snaps to grid points
    • Show Grid
    o displays grid in model space
    • Orthographic
    o constrains lines to 90deg angles
    • Polar Snap
    o constrains lines to other angle increments
    • Object Snap
    o cursor snaps to points on objects
    • Dynamic UCS
    o shows UCS at all times
    • Dynamic Input
    o displays input text in space
    Some Common Commands

    • 3D Commands
     2D Commands
    o Line
    o Extrude
    o Union o Rectangle
    o Subtract o Circle
    o 3D Rotate o Polyline
    o Trim
    • Helpful Commands o Extend
    o Units
    o Offset
    o Properties
    o Measure o Move
    o Dimension o Mirror
    o Scale
    o Rotate
    Command Interface
    • Line (L)
    • Circle (C)
    • Rectangle (REC)
    • Polyline (PL)
    • Move (M)
    • Scale (SC)
    • Rotate (RO)
    • Offset (O)
    • Mirror (MI)
    • Trim (TR)
    • Extend (EX)
    3D Commands
    You can change the user interface to 3D
    Basics or Modeling if you want to use
    buttons, or you can use keyboard entries
    EXT
    UNI
    SU

    • You can rotate an object about the X or Y axis with the 3D rotate command
    (3R)
    Units and Properties

    • The units command will let you change the


    primary units you will be drawing in
    • Properties wil l let
    you change just
    about any- thing with
    respect to the
    selected item
    Measure and Dimension

    • The measure
    option has two
    important sub-
    commands:
    o Distance (DI)
    o Area (AREA)

    • The dimension tool


    has many options, and
    displays the
    measurement in the
    drawing
    Viewports

    • Viewports in layouts help you arrange your


    drawings into organized sheets at specific
    scales
    Setting up to Print

    • You can apply a page


    setup to your layout to
    make the printing
    process quicker every
    time
    More Topics to Investigate

    • CAD has lots of options and
