Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad
A) AIM :
- Create the geometries from P1 to P2 using all the coordinates system methods. These are following:
-
Types of coordinate system is given below :
i) Absolute coordinate system
ii) Relative rectangular system
iii) Relative polar coordinate system
iv) Direct distance entry method
- By using the Line tool to create the geometries. Use the circle tool in some cases .
SOFTWARE USED : Autodesk autocad 2021
B) PROCEDURE :
- First, open the AutoCAD software give command the software QNEW or go to the application menu and click the NEW option then click on ADVANCE SETTING.
- Select matric setting : unit in decimal having precision 0.0
- template: Acad.dwg
- Angle : Decimal degree
- Angle measure : East (clockwise direction)

C) EXAMPLES:
EXAMPLE : 1
PROCEDURE :
i) ABSOLUTE COORDINATE SYSTEM :
(Ensure that the Dynamic input bottom is not choosen)
- Give the line command to the autocad software
