Study Notes

CIRCLE Command Options

To specify the radius of a circle, enter values for the center location followed by the circle's radius.
Create a circle with a diameter of 2.5 units using the Center, Diameter option; input the center point and the diameter value.

Tangent Circles

The 2P (2 Point) option of the CIRCLE command creates a circle that is tangent to two existing objects.
The point of tangency is where two tangent objects share contact.

Drawing Circles and Arcs

To draw a circle that is tangent to three objects, select the 'Tan, Tan, Tan' option, highlight the objects, and select the tangency points.
To draw an arc starting with a center point and a 60° included angle, choose 'Start, Center, Angle,' specify the start point, center point, and included angle.

Arc Definitions

The included angle in an arc is the angle formed between the center, start point, and endpoint.
The default prompt for the ARC command is to specify the start point or center of the arc.

Arc Commands and Options

Three input options to draw an arc tangent to a previous arc include the Continuation Option.

Ellipse Details

Ellipses consist of a Major Axis and Minor Axis.
Drawing an ellipse using the Axis, End option involves specifying the endpoints for both axes.

Circle and Ellipse Properties

A rotation angle of 0 degrees for an ELLIPSE results in a circle.

Polyline Creation

A filled arrow can be drawn using the PLINE command by entering different starting and ending widths.
The Halfwidth option allows width specification from the center to one side of a polyline.

Fill Mode and Polylines

To turn off FILL mode, use the command 'FILL' or 'FILLMODE' with options to set it on or off.
To create a polyline parallel to another, utilize the Length option with the PLINE command.

Shape Drawing Techniques

To draw a hexagon measuring 4 (102 mm) across the flats, use the POLYGON command, select six sides, choose Circumscribed, then define the location and radius of 2 inches.
Commands for creating rectangles include RECTANGLE, RECTANG, and REC.

Rectangle Features

The Fillet command option allows for drawing rectangles with rounded corners.
For a rectangle with specific line thickness, use the Width option.

Rotating and Solid Shapes

To draw a rectangle at an angle, select the first corner and specify the desired rotation angle after activating the rectangle command.
Create a solid circle by using the DOUNT command with an inside diameter of 0.

Spline Creation

Use the SPLINE command to create a true spline and accept AutoCAD default tangents by simply selecting 'Enter.'
