Define the area of the drawing to display and controls the visual appearance of the objects in the view and the background assigned to a named view.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
*Arrange Viewport and save only in model space, but can restore saved viewport arrangements either in model space, as model space viewports, or in paper space, as layout viewports.
Saved settings include
The number and position of viewports
The views that the viewports contain
The grid and snap settings for each viewport
The UCS icon display setting for each viewport
-After this Lecture you will be able and know that:-
The navigation bar is a user interface element where can access both unified and product-specific navigation tools.
-This is included Video
ViewCube. Indicates the current orientation of a model and is used to reorient the current view of a model.
SteeringWheels. Collection of wheels that offer rapid switching between specialized navigation tools.
ShowMotion. User interface element that provides an onscreen display for creating and playing back for design review, presentation, and bookmark-style navigation.

-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Create a linear object that starts at a point and continues to infinity.
Create a construction line of infinite length.
-After this Lecture you will be able and know that:-
Donuts are filled rings or solid-filled circles that are actually closed polylines with width.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Create Multiline Styles
You can create named styles for multilines to control the number of elements and the properties of each element. The properties of multilines include
The total number of elements and position of each element
The offset distance for each element from the middle of the multiline
The color and linetype of each element
The visibility of the lines, called joints, that appear at each vertex
The type of end caps that are used
The background fill color of the multiline
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Create a smooth curve that passes through or near a set of fit points, or that is defined by the vertices in a control frame.
Select a 2D polyline provides specialized PEDIT options and can select a single arc or line segment, also called a subobject, within a polyline by pressing the Ctrl key when you click over it.
Draw polylines with straight or curved segments. Define the width for the polyline segments and taper the width across the segment. Draw polygons specifying the number of sides and size.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Set the origin and orientation of the current user coordinate system (UCS).
The UCS is a moveable Cartesian coordinate system that establishes the XY work plane, horizontal and vertical directions, axes of rotation, and other useful geometric references. You can change the UCS origin and orientation for convenience as you specify points, enter coordinates, and work with drawing aids, such as Ortho mode and the grid.
A UCS can be stored with a viewport if the UCSVP system variable is set to 1 for that viewport.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Align objects with other objects in 2D and 3D ,either one, two, or three pairs of source points and definition points can be specified to move, rotate, or tilt the selected objects, aligning them with points on another object.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Create a new revision cloud by selecting two corner points or polygonal points, dragging your cursor, or you can convert an object such as a circle, polyline, spline, or an ellipse into a revision cloud. Use revision clouds to highlight parts of a drawing that are being reviewed.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Create a list of requirements that an object must meet to be included in a selection set.
The Object Selection Filters dialog box is displayed.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
Display data that you expect to change during the life cycle of a drawing.
When a field is updated, the latest data is displayed. For example, the value of the FileName field is the name of the file. If the file name changes, the new file name is displayed when the field is updated.
Fields can be inserted in any kind of text (except tolerances), including text in table cells, attributes, and attribute definitions. When any text command is active, Insert Field is available on the shortcut menu.
Some sheet set fields can be inserted as placeholders. For example, you can insert SheetNumberAndTitle as a placeholder. Later, when the layout is added to a sheet set, the placeholder field displays the correct sheet number and title.
Block placeholder fields can be used in block attribute definitions while you're working in the Block Editor.
A field for which no value is available displays hyphens (----). For example, the Author field, which is set in the Drawing Properties dialog, may be blank.
An invalid field displays pound signs (####). For example, the CurrentSheetName field, which is valid only in paper space, displays pound signs if it is placed in model space.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
link a table with data in a Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLSX, or CSV) file. You can link to an entire spreadsheet, individual row, column, cell, or cell range in Excel.
NOTE:
Microsoft Excel must be installed to use Microsoft Excel data links. To link to the XLSX filetype, Microsoft Excel 2007 must be installed.
You can bring data from Microsoft Excel into a table in the following three ways:
As formulas with supported data formats attached.
As calculated data from formulas calculated in Excel (supported data formats not attached).
As calculated data from formulas calculated in Excel (with data formats attached).
A table that contains data links displays indicators around linked cells. If you hover your cursor over the data link, information about the data link is displayed.
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-

Parametric drawing is a technology that is used for designing with constraints, which are associations and restrictions applied to 2D geometry.
know that there are two general types of constraints:
Geometric constraints control the relationships of objects with respect to each other
Dimensional constraints control the distance, length, angle, and radius values of objects
-After this Lecture you will be able to:-
You can create and fully constrain a drawing first, and then control the design exclusively by relaxing and replacing geometric constraints, and changing the values in dimensional constraints.
You can work in an under constrained drawing and make changes as you go, using a combination of editing commands, grips, and adding or changing constraints.

Introduction.
About AutoCAD
Autodesk AutoCAD has been the de facto Drafting Tool for PC Users since 1982. As you read this, Millions of Engineers, Draftsmen, Project Managers, and Engineering Students are Creating their drawings with AutoCAD
What is AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.
What will You Learn ?
In this course you will learn and experience a most advanced module of AutoCAD i.e the Parametric Drawing. This concept is useful for creating a drawing prone to future modifications. You can very easily edit a drawing if made using this concept.
This course introduces the Parametric tools of AutoCAD in a step by step process which will enable you to clearly understand the application of the tools under discussion before starting the next tool.
PREREQUISITES
The author assumes that you have experience using computers and the Microsoft Windows operating system.
You should know how to start new files, open existing files, save files, close files with or without saving, and exit software.
Because these commands are similar in all software packages, the author does not cover these subjects unless it is necessary to demonstrate a command specific to AutoCAD
At the end of each chapter, you will find Chapter Review questions that will help you practice and test your mastery of
