 INTRODUCTION
In this Learning AutoCAD training course, expert author will teach
you everything you need to know to be able to create 2D drawings
and 3D models using the latest version of AutoCAD. This course is
designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no previous experience
with AutoCAD is required.

You will start by learning the basic operations of AutoCAD. From

there, Awaits will teach you about the drawing and drafting tools and
complete 3D modelling Tools.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you
will have learned everything you need to know to create your own
2D drawings and 3D models in AutoCAD.
ADVANTAGE OF AUTOCAD
1. A midrange Software
2. User Friendly
3. Fulfils most of the professional needs of a mechanical engineer
4. Lots of Time saving (but not always)
5. Paperless Environment
6. Ease of Accuracy — e.g. joining of lines head to head is not
possible manually with desired accuracy
7. Easy to edit
8. Ease of Repetition / Addition
9. Reproduction of Drawing is easy, rapid and reliable in terms of
dimensional accuracy and precision.
10. 2D and 3D production of drawings is very easy.
11. Zoom Command Facility allows us to see the minute details on
larger scale view.
12. A facility of Modelling and making Parts library is available.
13. Parent – Child relationship allows multiple editing in single
command, means if one part is edited all other linked parts are
auto edited
14. Data handling, data storage and data sorting become very easy
in soft form as compared to the conventional Printing and filing.
15. Data transmission to distant and remote areas is very easy and
economical via emailing and link sharing.
16. Layers option allows us to hide or show some specific details of
a complex assembly drawing for clear understanding.
17. There is no limitation of a Drawing size. You can draw a 2 light
years long line through proper scale stetting.
18. Auto scale option is available. Full scale drawings can be
formed.
19. Geometrical relationship can make quick mathematical
operations easy, e. g. you can make an inscribed circle using
dimensions of the triangle or polygon etc.
20. BOM or BOQ can be produced with accuracy
21. Mass, Area, Volume, Centre of Gravity can be calculated
22. Auto Dimensioning – easy, accurate and rapidly done within no
time.
23. Dimension Standards are strictly followed
24. Bullion operation is possible.
25. Copy, scale, Move, Stretch, rotate, Pattern commands make the
task simple and easy
26. Draw Guiding through Snap, Ortho etc.
27. Direct and Quick Drawing of Symmetrical objects. e.g circle,
ellipse, polygon rectangles and triangles etc.
28. Geometrical Relationships are possible. Like two parallel lines,
Tangent lines, perpendicular lines etc.
29. Fixed line thickness throughout the drawing. —– remember
that,”by default, the line thickness of auto Cad is zero”
30. Fill, Hatch, Section lines, Chamfer and fillet commands make
the software a blessing as these operations are very difficult in
manual drafting.
31. Adding Text – Lettering – is a big facility
32. Images can be imported and traced out for digitization of
conventional diagrams and drawings.
DISADVANTAGE OF AUTOCAD
1. Expensive equipment is required. like Computer, Plotter, big screen
monitor etc.
2. Registered software is expensive and it requires a heavy re-occurring
annual fee.
3. Equipment is fragile, can be damaged drastically.
4. Continuous Updating of the equipment and software is needed.
5. Electricity is mandatory for running the equipment which is a big issue
for third world countries like Pakistan which is facing a severe power
crises these days.
6. Data storage is also fragile — high probability of data corruption, data
loss is a big threat for all soft form data banks. To overcome this
potential disaster, experts suggest “Mirroring of Data” that is storage of
data on multi hard drives on multiple locations which involves a big
capital allocation. Some disaster data recovery systems can also be
implied to recover the lost data.
7. Piracy and hacking threats are always there when you use internet for
data transfer or even storage of data on a computer which is connected
to internet.
8. Special computer Skills are required.
9. Proper Maintenance, supervision and administration is required for
computer networking.

This is used to on and off the function of any diagram.

SNAP (F9):- By snap we can maintain the distance between x spacing

and y spacing.

GRID (F7):- It is used to show the dotted line over on the display.

ORTHO (F8):- It creates complete straight lines without any twist and
turns in line.

POLAR (F10):- By polar tracking you can define the angle.

OTRACK (F11):- It is used for selecting endpoint, midpoint, center,

node etc.
SUMMARY: –
This blog is about the all popular command which one should know
to create 2D plans in AutoCAD. These drafts or drawing are used for
Architecture, interior design, civil, mechanical and electrical
designing. Above commands are very useful for all drafting
professions in their work.

 CONCLUSION
What We Learned About AutoCAD:

*Precision in Design: AutoCAD allows for accurate

measurements and dimensions, enabling precise
planning and layout of spaces.
*Layer Management: AutoCAD helps in organizing
elements (e.g., walls, doors, windows) into separate
layers, making complex designs easy to manage and
edit.

*Customization of Components: We can customize

each component, such as doors (D1, D2, D3) and
windows (W1, W2), with specific dimensions to fit
unique design requirements.

*Efficiency in Drafting: The software provides tools for

quickly creating, copying, and modifying design
elements, which significantly speeds up the drafting
process.

*Visualization of Ideas: AutoCAD’s 2D drafting

capabilities allow us to visualize the floor plan
accurately, helping to identify potential improvements
before actual construction.

*Enhanced Communication: Detailed AutoCAD

drawings make it easy to communicate design
intentions clearly to architects, builders, and clients.
