Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad

Aim:

By using the all-co-ordinate system to create the geometry with the help of line command in AutoCAD.

Introduction:

AutoCAD is a software which is commercial Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and drafting tool application. Co-ordinate system, there are 4 coordinate systems which are used in AutoCAD.

• Absolute Coordinate System- This system used when you know the precise X and Y values of the point. Absolute coordinates refer to a Cartesian System that uses x-axis, y-axis to establish the location of points. The value always counts form origin.
• Relative Rectangular Coordinate System- A relative rectangular coordinate allows you to specify a position along the X- axis and Y-axis, to locate a point relative to the last point you specified. 
• Relative Polar Coordinate System- Polar coordinates are used when you need to draw the next points at a specific angle. Polar coordinates system in AutoCAD specifies distance length at which angle.
• Direct Distance Entry- This system is used when you know all the distances between all the points. i.e., by entering the distance of the second point from first point and so on.
• For imperial template type in command bar STARTUP then press enter and give the value 1 then press enter.
• For decimal unit type in command bar UN then press enter select decimal with precision 0.0 and feet.
