Introduction To Auto desk AutoCAD | DAY 20

Learn AutoCAD basics: DAY 20

Nothing new under the sun. Here we come again with a bushy one.

Today, you will need the ARRAY command, the FILLET command and the OFFSET command (we made an extensive use of the OFFSET command in DAY 7). There is no need to mention that you will need the LINE command, the CIRCLE command, may be the ROTATE command too.

For the sake of exercising with the HATCH command, you can HATCH the above project at the end if you wish.

Introduction To Auto desk AutoCAD | DAY 18

Learn AutoCAD basics: DAY 18

DAY 18, a lot must have happened by now. We wish you have been learning something valuable since the beginning of the series.

Here comes one of the easiest one of the series. You will agree with us that if this exercise appeared earlier that would look more difficult than it looks at this point. With all you have accomplished so far, this should be a piece of cake, just helping you retrain some of the stuff you have been learning here with the Learn AutoCAD Basics in 21 Days series.

 

In this session, it will be required to use the ROTATE command and the OFFSET command a lot.

Introduction To Auto desk AutoCAD | DAY 13

Learn AutoCAD basics: DAY 13

If you remember what we did in Learn AutoCAD DAY 7, you will notice that the following is quite similar to it. We had to learn how to use the OFFSET command and we have been using it throughout since sometime now. In this session, you have to use it as well.

 LEARNING AUTOCAD BASICS

We have bent this to push you to use the ROTATE command. But it you have eyes to look at the image in a more engineering point of view, you will quickly notice that you can draw the object without inclination angle and bending it just at the end of the project, but as we indicated earlier in this series, feel free to go free-style unless stated not to. But avoid wasting time!

Take the shortest way!

If you have difficulties, check how we solved the exercise on Learn AutoCAD DAY 7 and Learn AutoCAD DAY 8 that may help you. This exercise is simply the combination of those projects.

Introduction To Auto desk AutoCAD | DAY 7

Learn AutoCAD basics: DAY 7

The present is one of a kind. It is good to know that the objective is not only to be able to useAutoCAD commands but also to use-your-brain-cells to help combine all these commands to get to the final image.

One thing you should have in mind is that there is more than a way to get to a destination using AutoCAD, just remember to check your dimensions at the end of the exercise and make sure they match ones mentioned on the image-exercise.

We will look a little deeper into the OFFSET command today. It is needed.

OFFSET COMMAND IN AUTOCAD

learn-AutoCAD

The OFFSET command helps create parallel lines and parallel curves.

If you have a object and want a similar parallel object to it, this command will be helpful.

learn-AutoCAD

To use the OFFSET command

  1. Click on the OFFSET icon
  2. Specify the OFFSET distance and Press Enter
  3. Select object to OFFSET
  4. Specify a point on side to OFFSET

LEARNING AUTOCAD BASICS

The use of the ROTATE command will be required in this exercise, as well as the OFFSET command.

Below you will find diverse dimensions to help the replication of this session’s task.

EXECUTION

You need to start from the outer part of the object.

learn-AutoCAD

After getting the above figure done, OFFSET all circles with 10 units inwards, and OFFSET all line with 15 units inwards.

And you should end up here.

learn-AutoCAD

All you need to use the TRIM command and the FILLET command to get all done.

Introduction To Auto desk AutoCAD | DAY 2

Learn AutoCAD basics: DAY 2

Not like the previous DAY, we are going to start learning cool things today. Not to say that DAY 1 was useless, that helped to warm up.

We have lately learn the basic basics in AutoCAD, and you should by now know the environment and I have no doubt that you are familiar with common words used here to describe stuff such as Command window, Status Bar, Navigation bar…

LEARN AUTOCAD BASICS

We will use the image below, and try learning all things we need to learn to be able to create something similar using AutoCAD.

We’ve learned a little how to use the coordinate system to create lines in AutoCAD. In this Session, we will forget a little about the Cartesian coordinate system.

learn-AutoCAD

It is true that using the Cartesian coordinate system we could draw lines with specified dimension, but this method is more convenient and is the one you will be making use of in the future.

Read more about how you can create lines and play with their angle

EXECUTION

To create the image above

STEP 1

Draw the line of 80 units

  1. Click on LINE
  2. Specify the first point
  3. Make sure the ORTHO mode is ON, Move your mouse rightward, type 80 and Press Enter
  4. Press Esc

STEP 2

Start the second line from the first point of the 80 units line, and draw the second line with an inclination angle of 58 degrees.

learn-AutoCAD

STEP 3

Draw the third line. It is a straight horizontal line.

learn-AutoCAD

STEP 4

All you have to do now is to create a line from the 2 open points shown on the figure in step 3.

EXERCISE

Here is a good exercise that will help you practice what we have just learned. I will suggest youlearn how to use the ROTATE command in AutoCAD before trying to do the following exercise.

In case of difficulties, I would like you to know that I solved this step by step few days earlier.
