Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad

AIM

TO CREATE THE GEOMETRIES FROM P1 TO P2 USING ALL THE COORDINATES SYSTEM METHODS

INTRODUCTION

THERE ARE FOUR TYPES OF CO0ORDINATES SYSTEMS.

# ABSOLUTE COORDINATE SYSTEM

# RELATIVE RECTANGULAR CO-ORDINATE SYSYTEM

# RELATIVE POLAR COORDINATE SYSTEM

# DIRECT ENTRY METHOD SYSTEM

ABSOLUTE COORDINATE SYSTEM

ABSOLUTE COORDINATES USES THE CARTESIAN SYSTEM TO SPECIFY A POSITION IN THE X, Y, AND (IF NEEDED) Z AXES TO LOCATE A POINT FROM THE 0-X, 0-Y, AND 0-Z (0,0,0) POINT. TO LOCATE A POINT USING THE ABSOLUTE COORDINATE SYSTEM, TYPE THE X-VALUE, Y-VALUE, AND, IF NEEDED, THE Z-VALUE SEPARATED BY COMMAS WITH NO SPACES

RELATIVE RECTANGULAR CO-ORDINATE SYSYTEM

AFTER FIRST POINTS ENTERED, YOUR NEXT POINTS CAN BE ENTERED BY SPECIFYING THE NEXT COORDINATE COMPARE/RELATIVE FROM THE FIRST POINTS. THE RELATIVE COORDINATE STARTED WITH SYMBOL “@” TELL AUTOCAD IT WAS A RELATIVE COORDINATES. USING RELATIVE COORDINATE, POINTS ENTERED BY TYPING @X, Y [ENTER].

RELATIVE POLAR COORDINATE SYSTEM

POLAR COORDINATES USED WHEN YOU NEED TO DRAW THE NEXT POINTS AT SPECIFY ANGLE. POLAR COORDINATES SYSTEM IN AUTOCAD SPECIFIES DISTANCE LENGTH AT WHICH ANGLE. USING POLAR COORDINATE, POINTS ENTERED BY TYPING @DISTANCE

DIRECT ENTRY METHOD SYSTEM

THIS IS THE MOST COMMON AND EASIEST SYSTEM USED FOR DRAFTING IN AUTOCAD. VALUES ARE PROVIDED THROUGH KEYBOARD AND DIRECTION IS GUIDED THROUGH THE MOUSE.
