AutoCAD Pressure Vessel Designer Course 2016-2022

Explore the polar coordinates system by constructing lines from the origin using two syntax methods, with lines at 0°, 45°, and negative angles, and understand anticlockwise versus clockwise directions.

Create polylines by combining lines and arcs, setting precise start and end points, and using zero coordinates for straight segments. Edit with grips and undo as needed.

Create ellipses and elliptical arcs in AutoCAD by defining center and endpoints, specifying axis distances, and using edit options to modify or delete.

Learn how to create hatches in AutoCAD by validating closed boundaries, using the hatch tool to apply patterns, adjust colors, transparency, and match properties across objects.

Set an origin in hatch using the hatch tool, choosing corners or center, so patterns start from that point and you can store it as a default origin.

Create associative hatches in AutoCAD and compare with non-associative hatches. See how changing the underlying sketch updates the hatch automatically.

Practice drawing in AutoCAD for pressure vessel design, focusing on creating lines with precise lengths and angles and applying linear and angular dimensions.

Create points in AutoCAD and change point types with keyboard shortcuts, specifying x and y coordinates and adjusting visibility and sizing for clear display.

Learn to create a doughnut in AutoCAD by adjusting the inside radius and outer areas, using the donut command via the toolbar or typing d and pressing enter.

Create revision clouds in AutoCAD using rectangle, polygon, or freehand tools, convert to uniform arc with revision cloud variance, and modify clouds by selecting objects, adjusting direction, and applying styles.

Identify and delete duplicate objects in AutoCAD to prevent print darkness from overlapping lines, using the duplicate object tool to clean sketches and ensure accurate final drawings.

Enable ortho mode (F8) to constrain lines to horizontal or vertical, and toggle auto mode on or off. Use polar coordinates, snap, copy, and join to place circles and geometry.

Polar tracking (F10) snaps lines to specified angles such as 90, 45, and 60, or custom angles, enabling precise horizontal, vertical, or inclined drawings.

Master angular dimensioning in AutoCAD by using the annotator and dimension tools, selecting lines, circles, and vertices, and applying keyboard shortcuts for quick placement.

Learn how to create baseline dimensions in AutoCAD by selecting a baseline, using extension lines, and adjusting baseline spacing to achieve even gaps.

Modify dimensions in AutoCAD using grips, baseline and continue dimensions, and adjust text, arrows, and alignment. Create angular, radius, and diameter dimensions, convert to text, and add prefix or suffix.

Compare dimension styles in the dimension style manager to see differences between two options. Use the compare dimensions feature to identify changes and avoid design difficulties.

Adjust the space between dimensions in AutoCAD by selecting a base dimension, choosing a direction, and entering a spacing value, with options for auto spacing and shortcuts like B.

Learn to add and remove jog line in dimension within AutoCAD, selecting the dimension and applying or removing the jog line.

Learn to update dimensions in a CAD pressure vessel model by creating new dimensions, manually adjusting styles and scales, and applying the update command to refresh all dimensions.

Create a centerline in AutoCAD by selecting two lines and using the centerline tool, then customize color, line type, and scale through the properties panel.

Create and customize a new multileader style in AutoCAD, configuring format, arrowhead, color, line type, text content and height, then apply it to two-point or three-point leaders.
