      Aim:  

    • To Create the geometries from P1 to P2 using all the coordinates system methods.ans to use the Line tool to create the geometries, to use the circle tool where it is required.

      Introduction:

    • AutoCAD was derived from a program that began in 1977, and then released in 1979 called InterCAd, also referred to in early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to Autodesk's (then marinchip software partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder Michael Riddle. The first version by Autodesk was demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and released that Decmber.  AutodCAD supported CP/M-80 computers. As Autodesk's foagship product, be March 1986 AutoCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide 
    • The fundamenta purpose of AutoCAD is to creat lines, arcs, circle and other geometric shapes that are necessary for the drawing that are free from errrors.
    • Different Coordinate systems used are:

                I. Absolute coordinate system - All the point are taken with respect to origin.

               II. Relative coordinate system - The points are taken with respect to the last point.

                      a. Relative rectangular coordinate system

                      b. Relative polar coordinate system

               III. Direct distance entry

      Procedure:

    • Click on AutoCAD application and open this application 
    • Initially set the template Imperial ( Feet and inches)and Units(Decimal)
    • Type startup in teh command line and then insert the values 1.
    • Then go to application menu -->select new-->creat drawing, to start form scratc.
    • Select defaultf setting as Imperial (feet and inches)
    • In default setting click on use a wizard and in that advancef setting and unit as decimal and precision as 0 
    • Set Angle as Decimal Degree and precision as 0 and click next
    • Set Angle Measure as EAST and Next
    • Set Angle Direction as Counter-Clockwise and click Next
    • Set Area by provideing Lenghtf as 10 and Width as 10
    • finished
    • To draw a line: always follw the command while drawing a line.
    • Ribbon-->Home-->Draw panel-->Line.
    • Menu bar-->Draw-->Line.
    • Coomand-->Enter line or 'L'
