Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

AIM: To create plan and section drawing as given in figure by using AutoCAD.

INTRODUCTION:

XLine: It means construction line. It has infinty edges we used for making wall. By typing "XL" on command line we envoke this tool. 

Line: It connects one point to another points. Used to draft various elements.

Trim: This modification tool helps to cut extended edges on the drawing. And to trim inbetween two line or elements. "TR" command to envoke this tool.

Extend: It is also a modification tool, if we have some broken edges or need to extend some portion towards anonther element. "EX" command to envoke the tool.

Offset: Offset the existing element with certain distance. this tool avoid to create new parallel elements. 

Layer: Each and every elements has unique property and unique style. This layer tool helps to organize those. Line weight, line style, colour gradient, freeze, lock. it has numerous benefits in Auto CAD drafting.

Hatch: Hatching helps to fill the voids with certain texture on it. If we draft wall means, we mention the brickwork details with the help of hatching.
