Autocad for everyone Step by Step

Learn to use the line command in AutoCAD to draw a 10 by 5 rectangle with polar coordinates, absolute coordinates, and relative coordinates, using snapping for precise 90 degree angles.

Explore six circle drawing methods in AutoCAD: center radius, center diameter, two-point, three-point, tangent tangent radius, and tangent tangent tangent, with practical steps to center, radius, and tangency.

Master AutoCAD arcs through three-point and start-center methods, including start-center-angle and start-center-end, with precise start, center, end, angle, and direction controls.

Explore the AutoCAD ellipse command and master its three methods: center ellipse, axis ellipse, and elliptical creation, specifying center, axis endpoints, distances, and rotation.

Master drawing rectangles with the rectangle tool; set the origin at 0,0 and specify the opposite corner. Also draw from different starting points and add a 1 unit radius.

Draw a polygon in AutoCAD by selecting polygon, specifying the number of sides, setting the center, and choosing inscribed or circumscribed circle, with snapping options.

Learn to create construction lines and rays in AutoCAD, anchor at a start point, align with the x axis, and set 45-degree angles on a separate colored layer.

Create your first AutoCAD project (example 1) using limits, construction lines, polar coordinates, and offsets, then draw lines, a circle, and dimensions on dedicated layers.

Learn how to use the copy and move commands in Autocad by selecting objects, choosing a base point, and defining displacement. Copy multiple objects with precise displacement.

Master the rotate command in AutoCAD by selecting objects, choosing a base point, and using copy to create duplicates, then verify angles with angular dimensions or reference lines.

Learn to use the offset command in AutoCAD to duplicate objects at a distance, choose side to offset, apply multiple offsets, and control corner style with the offset gap type.

Learn to use the mirror command in AutoCAD by selecting objects, setting the first and second mirror points, and toggling the mirror text system variable between 0 and 1.

Master the scale command in AutoCAD to resize objects precisely using base points, scale factors, and copy options, including scaling by reference and updating dimensions.

Learn to use the trim command in AutoCAD to trim extending lines, selecting objects to trim, and using fence selection to delete intersecting elements.

Learn to use the extend command to extend lines to touching objects, select the object, and zoom to verify all lines meet at a clean intersection.

Learn how to erase, explode, and use overkill in AutoCAD to manage objects, delete sides, and remove duplicate lines.

Apply the fillet and chamfer commands to edges of a drawing, setting radius for fillet or distance for chamfer, and use multiple selections to apply to several edges.

Master drawing a two-circle project in AutoCAD, using center diameter circles, offset lines, and tangential lines, then copy, trim, and erase to complete the design.

Learn to create and edit a rectangular array in Autocad by selecting objects, choosing the rectangular array tool, and adjusting columns, rows, and spacing for all copies.

build a complete house layout in autocad by setting architectural units and inches, draw walls with lines and offsets, and place doors, windows, and furniture via layers and design center.
