Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad

Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad

AIM :

To draw a different geometric shape by coordinate system methods using AutoCad.

Introduction :

  • Coordinate System
  1. For the AutoCAD users, understanding the coordinate
    system is very important.
  2. In AutoCAD every point in identified
    by its X, Y, and Z coordinates.
  3. This system of coordinates is referred
    as the world coordinate system, or
    WCS in AutoCAD.
  4. To locate a single point in AutoCAD workspace, the
    user may use any of the following
    three c0ordinates systems

They are three types,

1. Absolute Coordinate System

2. Relative Coordinate System

3. Polar Coordinate System

  • Absolute Coordinate System (X, Y)

In absolute coordinate system, all input points are specified using standard Cartesian coordinates X and Y. Ihe syntax
of absolute coordinate system is [X, Y1.

  • Relative Coordinate System (@X, Y)

After locating the first point, your next point can be entered by specifying the next coordinate relative to the first
points. The syntax of relative coordinate system is l@X, Y|.

1. Relative rectangular Coordinate: Rectangular coordinate specify each point in a pair of numerical in x and y axis.In command line it is represented as @X-axis distance,y-axis distance, example @5,10.

  • Polar Coordinate System (@D<A)

After locating the first point, polar coordinate system can be used when you need to draw the next points at specify
angle. The syntax of polar coordinate system is [@distance<angle].

  • Direct distance entry method:

It is another popular method used for drawing different shapes/geometries in AutoCAD. Direct distance entry method enables the user to draw an object by simply pointing the cursor in the desired direction and entering the required distance in the command line.

PROCEDURE:

Starting AutoCAD software:

  • Go to START MENU, select AutoCAD 2022.
  • Click on START DRAWING
  • In the Command line type in: STARTUP [ENTER]
  • Enter new value of startup: 1
  • Go to Application Menu and select New
  • In the 'Create New Drawing dialog box, we select the Imperial' system in the 'Start from Scratch' option.
  • Next we select the Decimal' unit system from the 'Advanced Setup option.
  • Set the limits by entering LIMITS in the Command tab. The lower-left corner is specified as 0,0 ; and the upper-right corner is specified as 100,100.
