Using AutoCAD
Designs can be made quickly.
Designers only need to make a simple sketch of the
design.
Drawings produced are consistent and mistakes can be
minimized.
All angles of a drawing can be shown.
Changes to drawing can be made easily.
Exact copies of drawings can be produced quickly.
Objects can be viewed in 3D.
Objects can be viewed as animation.

Improves the productivity, efficiency and
accuracy of drawings
Enables drawings to be created, checked, and
edited quickly
Improves the quality of products
Retains uniformity in reproduction
Minimises storage space

You can change AutoCAD’s appearance through
Workspaces
As you will learn in this session, you can easily arrange the AutoCAD
window in any way you like. Once you’ve arranged the window, you can
save your arrangement as a named workspace.
You can also change workspaces on the fly using the Workspace
Switching option in the status bar.

The 2D Drafting
& Annotation
Workspace.
You’ll focus on
the 2D Drafting
and Annotation
workspace for
most of this
class.

The AutoCAD
3D Modeling
workspace.

Ribbon panels at the top of the AutoCAD Window give you
access to nearly all of the features in AutoCAD.

Important features at the bottom of the AutoCAD Window offer
information and control over other features

As is typical in
other Windows
graphic programs,
If you click in the
drawing area, a
selection window
appears.

Try drawing a
rectangle
using the
Home tab’s
Draw panel
to the right.
Pay attention
to the
command
window at
the bottom
of the
window as
you draw.

Open the Clip drawing. You’ll see a different view from the default view
of a new drawing. This is the Layout view which is used to set up views
for printing or plotting.

Select the Model tool in the status bar and you will see a 3D view of the clip.
This is the Model view and it is where you do your drawing and editing.

You can switch to a top or plan view, then
zoom in on a portion of the drawing using the
Zoom Window option in the Navigation bar’s
Zoom flyout.

Select a part of the drawing and press the delete key, or click the erase tool
in the Modify Ribbon panel.
