You will typically create objects on specific layers and they will inherit those layers' properties, but you will also learn how to assign properties specifically to objects, overriding the properties of layers.īlocks are data structures that help you with representing commonly used symbols and drawings. In this chapter you’ll learn how to control how things look in AutoCAD by assigning properties such as color, linetype, and lineweight to layers. You will also learn how to select objects in different ways and how to create rectangular, polar, and path arrays.Ĭontrolling Object Appearance with Layers and Properties In this chapter you will learn how to alter objects in terms of transforming their positions, orientations, and scales, as well as deforming their shapes using a variety of commands and editing modes. You will learn about grid and snap, object snap, object snap tracking, user coordinate systems, and making calculations. This chapter will teach you how to draw accurately, which is what AutoCAD is all about. In the course of drawing these objects, you will also learn about Cartesian and polar coordinates, and a few editing commands as well. In this chapter you will learn how to create the basic set of geometric objects including lines, circles, ellipses, arcs, elliptical arcs, polylines, rectangles, polygons, splines, points, rays, and xlines. You’ll learn how to get around drawings, create templates, and configure program and drawing options. In this chapter you will get acquainted with how AutoCAD works and the type of data that it generates. In this chapter we will explore the user interface in general and take a closer look at the ribbon and status bar functionality. In this course you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of AutoCAD and computer-aided design.
