TITLE : INTRODUCTION TO AUTOCAD FOR WINDOWS
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME:
CLO2: Key-in data and commands using various data input techniques to produce
standard drawing.
OBJECTIVES: The students should be able to:
1. Start AutoCAD commands using various input devices and how to save
finished drawing and exit from AutoCAD.
2. Key-in data entries by using:
a. Absolute Coordinate system technique.
b. Relative Coordinate system technique.
c. Polar Coordinate system technique
3. Compare the techniques of data inputs.
EQUIPMENT : 1. Desktop Computer/Laptop
2. AutoCAD 2004 Software
PROCEDURE :
1. Create a new drawing space using the Metric measurement.
2. Display the grid to the extent of all the drawing limits.
3. From the diagram in Fig. 7.1 given below, redraw to full scale:
i. Using Absolute Coordinate System
The start point is at coordinates X,Y = 20,30
ii. Using Relative Coordinate System
The start point is at coordinates X,Y = 90,120
iii. Using Polar Coordinate System
The start point is at coordinates X,Y = 170,30
