Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad
AIM: To create the geometries of figure P1 using all the coordinates system methods in AutoCAD.
INTRODUCTION:
- AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application. Developed and marketed by Autodesk. AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers.
In the follwing problem we are using all the coordinates system. The coordinates systems are as follows:
i) Absoulte Coordinate System
ii) Relative Rectangular Coordinate System
iii) Relative Polar Coordinate System
iv) Direct distance entry
PROCEDURE:
Step 1: Open AutoCAD by clicking on the AutoCAD icon on the Desktop
Step 2: Start a new project by clicking Ctrl + N on the keyboard. A "Create new drawing" dialogue box will appear.
Step 3: Choose Imperial Template and Decimal units
Step 4: Commands used for different coordinate system are as follows:

- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: @6<180
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: close
- Type command "save". A "Save drawing as" dialogue box will appear. Choose the directory and file name and click the save button.
iv) Direct Distance Entry:
- Choose the line tool by typing the command L or Line.
- Specify first point: 2,1
- Specify next point or [Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 6
- Specify next point or [Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 1
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 5
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 4
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 5
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 1
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: Position the cursor and enter distance 6
- Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: close
- Type command "save". A "Save drawing as" dialogue box will appear. Choose the directory and file name and click the save button.
RESULT: The final result will be same for all the procedure mentioned above. And the result figure is given below:

AIM: To create the geometries of figure P2 using all the coordinates system methods in AutoCAD.
