Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad
Aim: To create the geometries by using all the coordinates system methods. By using the Line tool to create the geometries.
Introduction: To create the geometries by using the Imperial Template and the Decimal Units to draft the features. By using the software AutoCAD.
Procedure:
Step:1
