This document provides an overview of AutoCAD commands for creating technical drawings. It begins by stating the objectives of understanding and using basic AutoCAD drawing tools. It then explains how to give commands in AutoCAD and demonstrates how to draw basic shapes like lines, rectangles, and circles using coordinate input. The document outlines several editing commands for modifying objects like copy, move, mirror, and scale. It also covers more advanced topics like hatching, object snaps for accurate placement, and provides a performance task for drafting a building foundation plan using suggested AutoCAD tools and commands. Ratings rubrics are provided to evaluate the completed performance task.

5. Objectives:
Identify appropriate drawing tools as
per job requirements
Understand the definition and uses of
each drawing tool
Create illustrations using basic CAD
drawing tools

6. Autocad
commonly known as
computer aided design is a
software application for
writing and design 2D and
3D.

7. How do we give a command?
 Command line

8. Lets draw a LINE:
 remember that AutoCAD recognizes an
object by its coordinates. You will need two
given points to draw a line.
 You can start at a random point on your
WCS for your FIRST POINT, but you should
specify the coordinates of your SECOND
POINT.
(x1,y1,z1)
(x2,y2,z2)

9. Lets draw a LINE (2):
1. Hit F8 (ortho on)
2. Give the command
3. Specify the first point
4. Specify the second point in
relation to the first point
a b
7 units

10.  Rectangle: two diagonal lines
(pick first point, select the second
one with relation to the first.
 Circle/Arc: center and radius
a
b
a
d

 COPY
 MOVE
 MIRROR
- Used to create one or
more duplicates of any
drawing object.
- Moves an object or
objects
- Allows you to mirror
selected objects

12. editing…
 ARRAY
 SCALE
 STRETCH
- Can duplicate existing
objects in a rectangle or
circular (polar) pattern.
- used to change the size
of an object or group of
objects.
- used to move one or
more vertices of an
object.

13. More editing…
 OFFSET
 ROTATE
 ERASE
- creates a new object
parallel to or concentric
with a selected object.
- allows an object or
objects to be rotated
about a point selected by
the user
- erases (deletes) any
selected object(s) from
the drawing.

14. More editing…
 EXPLODE
 TRIM
- Explodes a block or
other compound object
into its component parts.
- Used to trim a part of
an object

15. What is OSNAP?
 Osnap (Object Snap) settings make it easier
to select a 2d object’s points
 Endpoint
 Midpoint
 Perpendicular
 Center
 İntersection

16. Hatching
 Hatching is used to add shaded
patterns to objects and shapes
within an Autocad drawing.
 You will pick:
 Pattern
 Scale
 Angle
 points

17. VIDEO TUTORIAL:

18. Performance Task:
Directions: With the suggested
command, draft a Foundation
plan of Quarantine Facility or
Poultry.
Suggested Commands:
OFFSET, LINE, ROTATE,
ERASE, TRIM, OSNAP, &
ORTHO, REC

19. Performance Task:
Directions: Draft a Foundation
plan of Quarantine Facility or
Poultry.
Suggested Tools and Materials:
Bond Paper, Pencil, Eraser,
Ruler, Drawing Pen, tape
