2. INTRO.
 AUTOCAD - Meaning Automatic Computer Aided Design.
It is used for engineering drawing and design.
 It is an Aided Design software used in almost all the
professions in life such as Architectural, Project manager,
Engineering ,etc. AutoCAD is divided into two major
drafting namely :2D and 3D
 It is composed of various components such as the model,
crosshair, window, aided tools, coordinates, drawing bars
which involve the title bar, menu bar, tools bars, navigator
button, etc,.

6. POINT TO NOTE
 AUTOCAD USES ENTER OR ESCAPE KEY TO END A
COMMAND.
 TO START SOME AUTOCAD COMMANDS, YOU PICK
THE TOOL, CLICK ON THE OBJECT AND THEN
ENTER
 THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF HIGHLIGHTS, THE
LEFTWING(GREEN) AND THE RIGHTWING(BLUE)
HIGHLIGHT. THE GREEN IS MORE POWERFUL.
 COMMANDLINE IS USED TO DRAW OBJECT BY
ISSUING A COMMAND.

7. DRAWING AID
•INCLUDES;
•ORTHO,INFER CONSTRAIN, SNAP, GRID, POLAR
TRACKING, OBJECT SNAP, OBJECT SNAP TRACKING,
DYNAMIC INPUT, QUICK PROPERTY, ETC.
•THESE AIDED TOOLS ARE TO SIMPLIFY AND
CONSTRAIN DRAWING

8. AUTOCAD 2D
 AUTOCAD HAS NUMEROUS BARS BUT THE MOSTLY
USED ONES ARE THE MODIFY, DRAW, STANDARD,
LAYER, AS THE CLASS CONTINUES WE WILL KNOW
THE VARIOUS 2D COMPONENTS
