AutoCAD _Drafting images by Coordinate System methods _Week 1
AIM:
To Create the geometries from P1 to P2 using all the coordinates system methods.
APPARATUS:
Autocad software
COORDINATES SYSTEMS :
- Absolute coordinates
- relative rectangular coordinates
- relative polar coordinates
- direct distance entry
PROCEDURE:
1)

- open autocad
- QNEW command
- as decimal units are used (metric is selected )
- template = Acad.dwg
- use a wizard
- advanced setup
- units
- decimal ( precision 0.0)
- angle
- decimal degree
- angle measure
- east
- area = 10 x10
ABSOLUTE COORDINATE SYSTEM :
- line command
