Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad
AIM :
To draw a different geometric shape by coordinate system methods using AutoCad.
Introduction :
They are three types,
1. Absolute Coordinate System
2. Relative Coordinate System
3. Polar Coordinate System
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.
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.
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].
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:
# GIVEN GEOMETRY P1 :
A. Using different coordinate system for P-1 :
# Select the Line tool by entering 'LINE"
# Specify the starting coordinate of point in the command line Given Below
