  • DRAW COMMANDS :  Draw  commands  are  helpful  to create  basic  geometry



All  draw commands have deepest  concept in  their commands .  No  easy  but  not  more  difficult



to learn  and  rememeber  but  only you focus on it . Draw commands found by draw panel or by pull



DRAW PANEL






down menu bar and most important that if you remember short key of these commands its very easy



to   create creative  and  very  fast  drawing. Draw commands  and basic  commands  in  autocad



beginner  and  users  always  remember  their short  key  for  rapid  wok  on  autocad  software.You



can  also edit the created object by selecting them pick method or any easy method you want to chose



LINE SEGMENTS WITH GRIP POINTS

after  selecting  the  object  their  starting , mid , ending  points appear  in  grip  form by mouse you


can stretch or elongated the object . For  circle  object  you  change their  position  by selecting  on


mid  grip  any object  which  form  curve  shape  you  can  change  their  location by mouse drag  the

mouse  on  mid  grip.


                   DRAW COMMANDS


1. LINE COMMAND Line  command  is  the  distance  between  two  


points .  Line  command  is used to  create  a  series  of  attached  line  segments . Once  a  group


of   line  entities  created   each segment  modified  sepearately . To active   the   command   type


LINE COMMAND PROMPT
short   key  in  command   area ( L) . You  can also  found  the  line  command   from draw 


panel  . Also  access  the  command  from  pull  down  menu  bar . Line  can  also  drawn  by 


co-ordinate  methods  but   in  any  condition  you  type  their  short key or  click  on  line  icon


to  active   the  command .

PROCEDURE TO 

ACCESS

1 . Short key : L

2 .Ribbon Menu : Home >  Draw panel > Line

3 .Access From : Menu bar > Draw > Line


2. CIRCLE COMMAND : Circle command is very easy command  in 


autocad It is used create geometry shapes  like round shapes by  using  various  methods  


for  different  situation . Ton draw object by circle command is simple and easy but their is  


tough situation  to  remember their methods  and their  types  so  many  types of  circle  by  


which you  can  draw  the  circle. To active  the  command type  their  short  key ( c) in 


command  area  there are   two  methods  to  draw  a  circle.  





1. KNOWN METHOD



TYPES OF KNOWN METHOD









A . CENTER- RADIUS : Center  radius   type   is   default  type .   


It   means   when   you   type   short   key   of  circle  in   command   area ( c) text  appear 




BY DEFAULT ENTER RADIUS VALUE







that  you   specify   center   point   to  draw  the   circle  and  after  give   the   desired  radius



value . This type  is  also  found  in pull  down menu  bar after  go  to circle  their   all  types



appear in pop up box . Their is advantage to draw circle object  in  autocad  that  circle  have



CIRCLE OBJECT BY CENTER RADIUS

TYPE

four  quadrants and a center  point  by specifying  their  quadrants  as  center  point  first  time



you  entered  the  radius  value  for second  time  you  not  to  need  the  change radius  value



only press enter the command  repeats. But for second radius value you escape  from the 


command.





B . CENTER -DIAMETER If  you know the  diameter  value  


then this  type  is useful to  create  circle . It  creates  circle by  specifying a  center  point  and  



OPTION APPEAR  FOR  DIAMETER

VALUE










diameter . To  active  this type you type  short  key  of  this  circle  command  and  by  default


by  default  it  asked  for  radius  value . But  for diameter only  you type  sub-type in command



area type  letter small (d).

2.  UNKNOWN METHOD



TYPES OF UNKNOWN METHOD



A.   2-POINT : It  creates  circle by  specifying  two  endpoints  of   the  diameter.


To  active  this  command  type  in  command  area short key of circle by  specifying  a  center  



CIRCLE OBJECT BY 2-P TYPE


point  options  appear  in command area you click  the  2P option by  cursor or  simply type 


their letter  2P.


B .  3 - POINT    :  Creates a circle  by  specifying three points  on circumference


of  circle .This  is  very deepest  and  rare  type  of  circle which  is  in  some  cases use to draw 


the   geometry.




OBJECT  DRAWN  BY 3-P





C.   TANGENT - TANGENT - RADIUS : It creates  



creates  circle  two  tangent  entities and radius value not diameter you  should  remember  by 



their  name .
CIRCLE WITH  T-T-R AND T-T-T TYPES



 D.  TANGENT-TANGENT-TANGENT  :  Creates  a 



circle  by  specifying  three   tangent  entities . This   type  is   very  useful in complex drawings



.To  active   this command   you  found   only  from  draw  panel  or  pull  down  menu  bar


OUTER CIRCLE BY TANGENT-TANGENT-

TANGENT TYPE
3.  ELLIPSE COMMAND :  Ellipse command  is  most important 

command   for  civil . It  is  used to  create the  ellipse or elliptical  arc entity  for  different  work  

situation . Ellipse  also  looks  like  a circle but  it  is  of  OVAL  shape like egg shape . This  is  very

difficult  command  in  autocad . There are four  methods  two draw the  ellipse.



A.  AXIS METHOD : In  axis  method  there  is first  distance is  full and 


second  distance  is  half  . In  axis  method  major  distance  ( FULL) , minor  distance ( HALF).



ELLIPSE BY MAJOR/MINOR DISTANCE


(AXIS METHOD)

B.  CENTER METHOD :   Center  method  is  mostly  use by beginners
.

to  draw  a  ellipse.  Because  in  this  method  not  more  confusion   to  draw the ellipse . In this


method major distance is half  and minor  distance also half .Major  means x direction or minor


minor means  y direction.



ELLIPSE BY CENTER METHOD 



 C. ELLIPSE WITH ROTATION In  ellipse  rotation 


  method  we  only  type  the   major  distance  and   rotation  value  . This  method  is  only  for 


knowledge  purpose.  Normally  for  creation  of   ellipse  we  use  AXIS   and   CENTER   method.





MAJOR AXIS  AND  ROTATION  OF  20 DEGREE

D.   ELLIPSE ARC  : In  ellipse  command  this  method  is very difficult to  


understand . This method  is used  for  complex geometry to draw in  autocad . To  create  ellipse



by this method
  type short  key  of  ellipse  in command  area  (EL)  AND specify  axis  endpoint
 




ELLIPSE COMMAND PROMPT






drag  the  mouse  in  X -Direction . Option appear click  by  cursor on ARC then by default  give 


the  MAJOR distance  then give the MINOR  distance specify the start angle and end  angle.









ELLIPSE BY ARC





USING  LINE  AND  ELLIPSE  WITH  ELLIPTICAL ARC



USING LINE  AND ELLIPSE  WITH   ELLIPTICAL  ARC



PROCEDURE TO ACCESS

1 . Short key : EL

2 .Ribbon Menu : Home >  Draw panel > ELLIPSE

3 .Access From : Menu bar > Draw > ELLIPSE
