This document provides an overview of AutoCAD, including its history and uses. It discusses the AutoCAD screen and interface, 2D and 3D commands, coordinate systems, toolbars, and examples of how AutoCAD can be used for drafting and 3D modeling. The document also outlines some benefits of using AutoCAD such as accuracy, time and cost savings, controllable design changes, and integration with manufacturing databases.

3.  AutoCAD is an industry-leading commercial CAD software.
 AutoCAD is used by AEC(Architecture, Engineer, and
Construction) to generate and optimize 2D and 3D designs.
AutoCAD is a widely used software program that can help
you draft construction documentation, explore design ideas,
visualize concepts through photorealistic renderings, and
simulate how a design performs in the real world. (Autodesk)
 AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop
app. In 2010, AutoCAD was released as a mobile- and web
app, marketed as AutoCAD 360. (Autodesk and AutoCAD)

7. AutoCAD allows users to use lines, polygons,
shapes, text and other visual items to create scale-
model blueprints of whatever structure they
happen to be designing. This is incredibly
important to the process of building, as someone
well-versed in the workings of AutoCAD can
provide a blueprint accurate down to the
millimeter. Newer versions of AutoCAD also allow
the user to see the finished blueprint design in
three dimensions, adding to the program's overall
usefulness to design and construction.

8. There are two coordinate systems in
AutoCAD. World Coordinate System (WCS)
and User Coordinate System (UCS) which define
the angle of the XY plane you are working in.
The WCS should always be used to reference
geometry to ensure everything aligns to the centre of
a file in real-world location. The UCS can be used to
orientate the screen to a site.Drawing files will
usually have the WCS set by default.The
current WCS or UCS orientation is indicated by
the UCS icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

9.  Toolbars provide one of several customizable ways to start
commands and change settings.
 Types of Toolbars
 Toolbars contain buttons that start commands. Buttons with a
small black triangle in the lower-right corner are flyout
toolbars that contain related commands. With the cursor over
the icon, hold down the left button on your mouse until the
flyout toolbar displays.
 The Quick Access toolbar at the top of the application window
is displayed by default. It contains frequently used commands
as well as standard commands for opening and saving your
file.

10.  LINE and POLYLINE
 ARC
 RECTANGLE
 CIRCLE
 SCALE
 TRIM
 ERASE
 TEXT
 MOVE
 COPY
 ROTATE

11. The process of creating a mathematical
representation of any surface of an object in
three dimensions by using special software is
called 3D modeling. A 3D model can even be
represented as a two-dimensional image by
using the 3D rendering process. The user can
also create 3D models physically using 3D
printers.

13.  A 2D isometric drawing, which may be created from
an isometric projection, is a flat representation of a 3D
isometric projection. This method of drawing provides a fast
way to create an isometric view of a simple design. Distances
measured along an isometric axis are correct to scale. But
because you are drawing in 2D, you cannot expect to extract
other 3D distances and areas, display objects from different
viewpoints, or remove hidden lines automatically.
 Before the advent of CAD, we created isometric drawings
with our T-square (or drafting arm) and our trusty 30-60-90
triangle. But you can accomplish the same thing in AutoCAD
