Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2014 2D Drawing, 3D Modeling

INTRODUCTION:
You normally create drawings by combining and modifying a number of completely different fundamental primitive shapes, comparable to strains, circles, and arcs, to create extra advanced shapes. This tutorial will show you how to learn the way to draw some shapes. Needless to say one of many benefits of utilizing CAD over drawing on paper is that you’re creating an correct mannequin of the drawing geometry. In Tutorial 3, you’ll study to record data from the drawing database. Data extracted from the drawing is correct provided that you created the drawing precisely within the first place.

Utilizing Layers:

You possibly can manage drawing data on completely different layers. Consider a layer as a clear drawing sheet that you simply place over the drawing and you can take away at will. The coordinate system stays the identical from one layer to one other, so graphical objects on separate layers stay aligned. You possibly can create a nearly limitless variety of layers inside the similar drawing. The Layer command permits management of the colour and line kind related to a given layer.

Utilizing layers permits you to overlay a base drawing with a number of completely different ranges of element (comparable to wiring or plumbing schematics over the bottom plan for a constructing). Through the use of layers, you too can management which parts of a drawing are plotted, or take away dimensions or textual content from a drawing to make it simpler to add or change objects. You too can lock layers, making them inaccessible however nonetheless seen on the display. You possibly can change something on a locked layer till you unlock it.
