Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad

Aim : To create a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad.

Introduction : The main objective of this assignment is to get in touch with various tools in AutoCad like the rectangle, polylines, modifications tools like copy, move, offset and modes like snap mode and ortho mode.
