Rectangle.8:22
The rectangle command is used to create rectangles in our drawing.
There are two methods to draw a rectangle. In the first method, we can create rectangles randomly by specifying the points. In the second method, we can create rectangles by specifying the value (length and width), Area.
Construction Line & Ray.3:24
Explore construction lines and infinite lines in AutoCAD, learning to access the draft toolbar, set a starting point, and create one-sided or two-sided infinite lines.

Trim Command.7:00
Trim is one of the most important editing tools, It helps you in trimming out certain portion of your drawing. In this lecture we will be learning that how we can use the trim command, and in the next lecture we will be looking for some of the important properties related to the trim.
More Properties of Trim.6:26
Explore advanced trim options in AutoCAD, including crossing, fence, and edge, with extend and no extent control, learning how intersections determine trim and how to undo or erase actions.
Working in Feet & Inches.7:34
Feet & Inches is the basic measuring unit in which we use AutoCAD for Civil & Architectural Drawings.
Like to draw a house plan(Section or Elevation), we have to use feet and inches, since it would be very difficult to represent units in millimeters.
EXAMPLE 310:59
Master AutoCAD with an exercise-driven lesson on the trim command, creating magnet-like figures from concentric circles and center lines using 30 mm and 50 mm diameters.
Polygon.8:04
The polygon command is used to create polygons in AutoCAD. We need to specify the number of sides to create a polygon.
Different methods to use polygon are
1. Inscribed Circle Method.
2. Circumscribed Circle Method.
Spline.9:02
