- Limits command
- Zoom command
- Circle command
- Arc command
- array

- Units command
- Text command
- LW command
PROCEDURE:
- First we have do the unit command for set of the unit in engineering or architectural method

- Again we draw the circle at the radius 452mm
- Next here we have to draw the rectangle inside the first circle, then we have to enter the fillet command and select the rectangle coner to fillet it.
- Next we select the arc command to create are left side of the rectangle
