    Study Notes

    AutoCAD Commands

    • Line Command: Creates a straight line segment.
    • Circle Command: Creates a circle.
    • Trim Command: Removes portions of objects.
    • Text/MText Tools: Used to add text to a drawing (TEXT and MTEXT).
    • Layer Function: Organizes objects into groups for easier management.
    • Copy Command: Creates a copy of an object.
    • Layer Properties Manager: Used to modify layer properties (color, line type).
    • Zoom Extents: (Z+E) Displays the entire drawing.
    • Viewport: Used to view the drawing in different scales.
    • Offset Command: Creates a duplicate of an object at a specific distance.
    • Hatch Command: Used to fill an area with color or pattern.
    • Properties Command: Used to change the properties of an object.

    AutoCAD Objects

    • Line: A straight line segment.
    • Circle: A closed shape.
    • Polygon: A closed shape with multiple straight sides.
    • Arc: A portion of a circle.

    AutoCAD Units

    • Default Unit: AutoCAD uses a unitless system.

    Conic Sections

    • Ellipse: A closed curve where the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points (foci) is constant. The distance between the foci is less than the length of the major axis.
    • Parabola: A curve where the distance from any point on the curve to a fixed point (focus) is equal to the distance from that point to a fixed line (directrix). The directrix is a line parallel to the axis of symmetry.
    • Hyperbola: A curve where the difference of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points (foci) is constant. Eccentricity is greater than 1.
    • Circle: A conic section where the eccentricity is equal to 0.
    • Parabola: Focus and directrix are equidistant.

    AutoCAD Views

    • Front View: A projection of the object perpendicular to the vertical plane (VP) & parallel to the horizontal plane(HP).
    • Top View: A projection of the object perpendicular to the horizontal plane (HP) & parallel to the vertical plane(VP).
    • Isometric View: Displays all three dimensions using equal foreshortening.

    Orthographic and Isometric Projection

    • Orthographic Projection: Used to create 2D representations of 3D objects.
    • Isometric Projection: A type of axonometric projection that represents a 3D object viewed from a particular angle; all three axes are at 120° to each other.

    Solids

    • Solids are 3D shapes that can be represented in engineering graphics using various projections (orthographic, axonometric) to fully illustrate the form and features.
