CAD SYSTEM:
The CAD system creates an environment to prepare drawings interactively. Most
CAD systems available commercially are menu driven. Commands either can be typed
directly with the help of a keyboard or can be picked-up from the screen menu with the help
of a mouse or can be selected from the digitizer menu. Some screen menus offer pull-down
menus (also referred to as pop-up menu) and dialogue boxes. The effect of every command
is immediately displayed on the screen so that selection and corrections can be done
interactively and immediately.
The major functions to be performed by a Computer Aided Drafting system are:
i.
Basic set-up of a drawing
ii. Drawing the objects

iii. Changing the object properties
iv. Translating the objects
v. Scaling the objects
vi. Clipping the objects to fit the image to the screen
vii. Creating symbol libraries for frequently used objects
1
viii.Text insertion
ix. Dimensioning
Some of the features of CAD system are:
1) Modeling and Drafting: The majority of systems provide 2D and 3D modeling
capabilities. Some low cost CAD systems are dedicated to 2D drafting only.
2) Ease of use: The users find CAD systems very easy to learn and use.
3) Flexibility: Popular CAD systems provide greater flexibility when configuring the
available hardware. Hundreds of computers, display devices, expansion boards,
input and output devices are compatible and configurable with popular software.
4) Modularity: Standard input and output devices are attached to standard connectors
thereby making the system modular in nature.
5) Low maintenance cost: Little maintenance is needed to keep the system
functional.One of popular, low-cost CAD software is AutoCAD. Some of the
fundamentals capabilities of AutoCAD are described here
DRAWING ENTITIES:
The basic drawing entities of DWG Editor 2010 Software are
1. LINE: A line is specified by giving its two endpoints. The LINE command can be used to
draw a single line or a series of lines with the end-point of one being the starting point of
the next. When a series of such lines is created, each line is treated as a separate entity. To
create a closed polygon, the user has to type in C (close) for the point: prompt. This causes
the last and the first points to be joined by a line and thus closing of the polygon.
2. CIRCLE: here are many ways of drawing a circle, the default being the centre point of
circle and radius. Either on typing the command CIRCLE or selecting it from a screen menu
with the help of mouse, all circle drawing options are displayed.
The options available are:

a)
Center point and radius
b)
Center point and Diameter
c)
3P: This specifies 3 points on the circumference of a circle. There is a unique

circle passing through three given non-collinear points.
d)
2P: This specifies the end-points of diameter of a circle.
e)
TTR (Tangent Tangent Radius): This command draws a circle of Specified

radius that is tangent to two lines, circles or arcs.
3. ARC: This command is used to draw an arc accurately. Usually there are three
parameters required for drawing an arc. Different ways of drawing circular arcs are:
a. 3 point arc: The arc is drawn by specifying three points on the chord of arc. The first
and third points define the start and end-points of an arc respectively.
b. Start, Center: This option needs start point and center point of an arc. The third
parameter may be an end-point, included angle, or length of chord.
c. Start, End: This option asks the user to enter the start and end-points of the arc. The
arc can be completed by either specifying radius or included angle or center point.
4. TRACE: This command is used to draw lines of specified thickness. This is the same as
LINE command except that it needs an additional parameter that is the width or thickness of
the line.
5. PLINE: Polylines are interesting drawing entities. Polylines can include both lines and
arcs connected at end-points. Thus, a polyline is a single entity with multiple segments. The
polylines can be straight or curved, can be wide (like a TRACE) or tapered. Fillets and
chamfers can be added where needed on a polyline. Curve fitting and hatching can easily be
performed on a polyline.
6. DONUT: The DONUT is special type of polyline, which is made up of arc segments. A
DONUT has two properties: it has width, and it is closed. The width of DONUT is set by
specifying inside and outside diameters. The inside diameter may be zero thereby making it
a filled circle.
7. POLYGON: A polygon is also a polyline with equal length of sides. The regular polygon
can either be inscribed in a circle or circumscribed about the circle. The polygon may also be
constructed by specifying the length of one side and the number of sides of polygon (called
edges). In this method a polygon is constructed in anticlockwise direction from the two edge
end points that have been specified.
8. ELLIPSE: An ellipse can be constructed by specifying the center, major and minor
axes. An ellipse can also be constructed by specifying end points of one of its axis and the
eccentricity.
DRAFTING AIDS:
1. LAYER: A layer can be thought of as a transparent sheet on which drawings can be
prepared. Drawings can be logically divided into different layers, and layers can be
selectively displayed either individually or in any combination. Each layer is identified by a
name. If the drawing becomes too dense or complicated, some layers can be turned off so
that they do not interfere with the work. The drawing can be edited on any one layer at a
time called current layer.
2. BLOCKS: The BLOCK command groups a number of selected entities together and
treats them as a single object. If a block is created by using entities on different layers, the
entities are stored inside the block with the entity attributes (colour, layer, and line-type).
The block can be created by using BLOCK command for the same drawing and by WBLOCK
command for any other drawing by giving the name. The block can be reused any number of
times in the same drawing or any other drawing by giving the name. The blocks defined can
be scaled, rotated, stretched or mirrored any number of times. The blocks can be inserted at
desired location in the drawing.
3. DIMENSIONING: The manufacturing drawing must be dimensioned for size and
tolerances so that the right information can be conveyed. The appearance and size of
dimension arrows, size and style of dimension text with or without tolerances, and the layer
on which dimensions are placed can be controlled by setting dimension variables.
4. HATCH PATTERNS: The HATCH command is used to fill up the area using a suitable
pattern. The type of pattern and pattern variables can be chosen from a library of patterns
available. The hatching may be carried out inside a defined area or outside of it.
5. ZOOM: This is the most common method of magnifying a portion of current drawing
on the screen. The portion of drawing to be zoomed is usually selected by a window. A
window is identified by picking up the diagonal corners of a rectangle around the area of
interest.
6. TEXT: Words, messages and numbers can be inserted as required on an engineering
drawing. The alphanumeric keyboard is used extensively for non-graphical input such as
text. The text style, height, text angle, aspect ratio, colour etc are some of the attributes
associated with text.
EDITING:
The fundamental commands to edit a drawing are
1. MOVE: Moves selected objects to another location,
2. ROTATE: Rotates selected objects through a specified angle about a base point.
3. COPY: Creates one or more copies of selected objects at another location. The
function of COPY command is similar to the MOVE command except that it preserves a copy
of the objects selected at the original location.
4. MIRROR: Creates a mirror image of the selected objects about a specified line.
5
5. ARRAY: This command creates multiple copies of selected objects in rectangular or

polar form. This is a form of COPY command.
6. ERASE: This command deletes the selected entities. A record of entities erased is
always maintained. The most recent entity can be unerased by OOPS command.
7. OOPS: This command recovers the last deleted entity. However, it does not recover
any entity after a drawing plotting, end or resume.
8. BREAK: This command cuts the selected entity in two pieces. Break command is
effective on lines, arcs, circles, traces or polylines (including polygons and donuts)
9. FILLET: The fillet command is used to create a round corner between two lines. The
lines are shortened or extended to fit a tangent arc of specified radius. FILLET works on any
combination of two lines, arcs, circles, non-parallel lines or a single polyline.
10. CHAMFER: This command works on two lines or a single polyline to create a beveled
edge.
11. CHANGE: This command can selectively edit the attribute of a drawing entity. The
CHPROP (Change PROPerties) command allows editing of colour, layer, linetype and
thickness of a drawing entity.
12. EXTEND: This command extends the lines, polylines and arcs to a boundary edge
which can be a line, polyline, arc or circle. A closed polygon cannot be extended.
13. OFFSET: This command is useful for creating a parallel copy of a drawing entity
which can be a line, circle or polyline. Each offset creates a new entity with the same line
type, colour and layer settings
14. STRETCH: The stretch Command can either lengthen entities or shorten them and
thus alter their shapes. The center points of arcs or polyline arcs are adjusted accordingly.
15. TRIM: This command makes use of boundary entities (lines, arcs, circles or polylines)
which become the cutting edge. It trims lines, arcs, circles and polylines.
6
16. SCALE: The SCALE command allows shrinking or enlarging the already existing
drawing objects by specifying a scale factor.
17. PEDIT: A polyline is a single entity which is made up of a continuous series of line and
arc segments. The PEDIT command is exclusively used for editing of polyline properties. The
selected line, arc and polyline can be added to an existing polyline by a JOIN option. A
smooth curve passing through all vertices of a polyline can be created by using FIT option.
Similarly, a spline can also be constructed by using polylines vertices.
18. EXPLODE: This command breaks a polyline into its individual segments. These
segments can then individually be edited and rejoined again to form an edited polyline.
19. UNDO: The U or UNDO command reverses the effects of a series of previously used
commands and hence allows back-stepping. The REDO command wipes out the effect of
UNDO command.
