Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad

Aim-

• To create the geometries using all the coordinates system methods.
• To use the line tool to create the geometries and to use circle tool where it is required.

The types of coordinate systems-

• Absolute coordinates
• Relative Rectangular coordinates
• Relative polar coordinates
• Direct distance entry
