POLAR CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: - in this system the co-ordinates are specified in

terms of length and angle. To separate distance and angle < sign is used.
DISTANCE < ANGLE
DIRECT DISTANCE ENTRY METHOD: (FASTEST WAY TO ENTER

DISTANCES) in this method the distance is given by keyboard and direction by mouse.

SELECTION WINDOWS IN AUTOCAD 2002

There Are Two Types Of Windows In AutoCAD
SOLID WINDOW: - this window will select those objects, which are completely
enclosed within window. It will not select those objects which are partially included
within window
In this case only two circles, which are completely
enclosed within window, will be selected. A line is partially
within window and partially outside window will not
be selected. This window will be created when mouse
is dragged form upper right corner to lower left
corner.
CROSSING WINDOW: this window will select all those objects that are completely
enclosed within window as well as those objects, which are crossing with window.
In this case two circles as well as a line will
be selected as a line is crossing with window. This
window is generated when mouse is dragged from
lower right corner to upper left corner.
OBJECT SELECTION OPTION

1) ALL 2) CROSSING (C) 3) CROSSING POLYGAON (CP) 4) FENCE (F)
3) MULTIPLE (M) 7) WINDOW (W) 8) WINDOW POLYGAON (WP) 9) ADD
(A) 10) REMOVE (R) 12) SINGLE (SI) 13) LAST (L)
CO-COPY: To make copy of objects. Use multiple (m) options to make multiple
copies.
M- MOVE to move object from one location to another.
TR- TRIM - To trim the objects which extends beyond certain boundary line.
Boundary edge.

LAYERS: layers are nothing but plastic sheets or glass sheets on which we draw
drawing having zero thickness. In AutoCAD separate layers are required for hidden lines,
centerlines, different colors, dimensions etc. we can make any numbers of layers as per
our requirement.
CURRENT LAYER: for drawing any object at least a one plastic or glass sheet will be
required, that layer is called current layer. Only one layer can be a current layer. Current
layer cannot be freezed.
ON/ OFF LAYER: when the layer is OFF objects on that layer will be temporarily
invisible. These objects become visible when layer is ON.
LOCK AND UNLOCK LAYER : when the layer is lock then objects on that layer can
not be modified i.e. We can not use move, copy , erase , trim, mirror etc. commands on
these objects.
FREEZE/UNFREEZE LAYER: FREEZE layer will show same effect as that of OFF
layer.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF LAYER AND FROZEN LAYER?

Objects on frozen layer are not regenerated and therefore time for regeneration will be
less whereas objects on off layers are regenerated by REGEN command.
LTSCALE- adjust gap between non-continuous lines. Use only for hidden, center etc.
lines. This command sets global line type scale factor.
CELTSCALE:- sets line type scaling for individual objects.
O- OFFSET this command will draw parallel object at specified distance.
Click on that side where you want the object should be drawn.
C-CIRCLE use D for diameter option

have to turn the group off by ctrl+a - to turn group on /off.
GROUP(G) :- to group the objects together
AR- ARRAYS
1) POLAR ARRAYS: the objects are multiplied in circular fashion about a center.
360 CCW 180CCW - 180 CW

(Counter clock wise) (Clockwise)
BEARING
2) RECTANGULAR: the objects are multiplied in rectangular fashion

Create a rectangular array shown above
ROWS -- 6 COLUMNS -100 ROWS OFFSET -03 COLUMN OFFSET-O3
XL - CONSTRUCTION LINES these are the lines of infinite length generally used
as projection lines. Use H for horizontal and V for vertical A for angle.
LENGTHEN
1) DELTA: by this option the length is either decreased or increased by difference
between final and initial length.
2) PERCENT: by this option the length is either increased or increased in
percentage.
3) TOTAL: directly give the final length you want.
4) DYNAMIC: mouse can adjust length of object.
EXTEND
STRETCH COMMNAD: USE RECTANGULAR WINDOW SELECTION

Difference between external reference and block?
1) X-REF cannot be exploded like block.
2) If x-ref is moved to another location, AutoCAD can not locate the file, in such
situation use browse
3) X-ref do not increase the file size.
XCLIP- external reference clip.
XBIND: to make some members of EXTERNAL REFERANCE file a permanent
member of host file for ex. Block, dimension style, text style, layer etc.
What Is OVERLAY option?
Suppose drawing A is X-Ref to Drawing B , B is Xref to Drawing C But I don’t want A
in C . Then at the time of attachment of A with B, check overlay option.
REFEDIT: - to edit external reference.
'FILTER- object selection filter
How to create complex selection set?
Suppose I want to select circle as well as arc then
** Begin OR
** Begin AND
Object = Circle
** End AND
** Begin AND
Object = Arc
** End AND
** End OR
Note: - If the criteria are bounded by the AND grouping operators, then the objects must
fulfill all criteria before the objects are selected. If criteria are bounded by the OR
grouping operators, then the objects fulfilling any one criteria will be selected.
QUICK SELECT: This option is available on your right click when no command is
active. This is very similar to using filters.
'CAL- CALCULATROR (ARITHMATIC+GEOMETRIC) ‘ sign is imp
ARITHMATIC CALCULATOR: by this calculator we can do operations like
addition(+), subtraction(-), division (/), multiplication (*)

How to use Geometric calculator?
Suppose I want to draw a line in the midway of endpoint of the line and center point of
arc then without drawing additional object we can draw with using geometric calculator.
the expression
(end+cen)/2
line drawn by conventional method line drawn by using geometric calculator

CONVENTIONAL GEOMERTIC
METHOD CALCULATOR
Suppose I want to draw a line 2.5 in x direction and 5 in y direction from a end point of a
line then expression will be end+[2.5,5.0]
PL- POLYLINE what is polyline? How it is different from simple line?
1) Polyline can have any width while width of simple line is limited.
2) Line and arcs are interconnected in polyline.

HE- hatch edit
What do you mean by associative and non-associative hatching?
An associative hatch pattern automatically changes to fill its boundary whenever that
boundary is stretched or edited. A non-associative pattern doesn’t do this.
Angle in hatching: angle in hatching is added in present angle . For example, this hatch
pattern has a angle of 450 , if you choose 900 angle then it will become 1350.
Initial angle was 450 after

Adding 900 it becomes 1350.
DONUT- To draw filled circles. Use FILL command with REGEN.

External diameter
Internal Diameter

QTEXT-turns text into box so that zoom and regeneration should be faster.
SPELL: to check the spelling of text.
EXPLODE (X) – to break the objects into their elements.
F-fillet to make corners smooth
CHA- CHAMFER –to make corners other than 900
MI- MIRROR - to create mirror image of an object.
object created by mirror command
USING AUTOCAD AUTOMATIC SAVE FEATURE

1) enter savetime at command prompt.
2) At new value for save time <120> prompt , enter the desired interval in
minutes. To disable enter 0.
Codes for inserting special characters into single line text objects. Only for DT
command

possibility that last segment may be of the shorter length than specified.
NOTE : use NODE osnap and DDPTYPE command with divide and measure
commands.use PDSIZE to change size of marker.
LIMITS: this command sets limits of your drawing. If you try to draw outside the limits
AutoCAD will not allow (shows the message outside limits.)
* we can use union, subtraction , intersection commands with two regions.
MSLIDE – to make slide
VSLIDE- to view slide

BR- BREAK- to break an object

NOTE : break command operates in anticlockwise direction in case of circle.
How To Break Without Gap?

1 keeps the text at its normal width. Value greater than 1 will expand the text, value less
than 1 will compress the text.
dipak shirbahte
OBLIQUE ANGLE: skews the text at an angle

/ Greater than zero say +30:
\ Less than zero say –30:
What is the difference between ALIGN and FIT options in justification?

ALIGN- with this option height of text changes with length.
FIT – with this option height do not change with length.
What is DIMTIX and DIMTOFL variable?
• When DIMTIX is on dimension line is very close to circle.
• The text will be placed outside if DIMTIX is on.
• There will be line from center if DIMTOFL is on.
TIME-shows total time spent on drawing

EXT- EXTRUDES. To use this command you should follow some rules
Rule 1. Object to be extruded must be a polyline object.
Rule 2. Object must form a single close loop.
this object will be this object will be extruded this object will not be extruded
this object will
extruded as it forms as it forms a close loop
not be extruded
a close loop
ISOLINES- to change the number of ISO-LINES.
Isolines=4 isolines=40

How to convert 3d into 2d drawing?
3d drawing can be converted to 2d by SOLVIEW, SOLDRAW and SOLPROF
commands.
SOLVIEW: this command creates three views and three layers for each view as
HID- for hidden lines, VIS – for visible lines, DIM- for dimensions.
SOLDRAW: This command ask you to select three view ports so that hidden lines can
be placed on HID layer, visible lines on VIS layer.
SOLPROF: this command creates profile, which is placed on PH layer means, profile
hidden and PV layer means profile visible.
ALIGNING 3D OBJECT IN SPACE (ALIGN COMMAND)
ALIGN this command aligns the object in 3d space with the help of three source and
three destination points.
SURFTAB1 & SURFTAB2 Sets the number of tabulations to be generated for the
RULESURF and TABSURF commands.

Creating Your Own Line types And Hatch Patterns

Important points to remember
Always start the definition with asterisk.
The description is limited to 47 characters.
If you include a description, precede it with comma.
The second line of the line type syntax is its definition. With simple line types, you are
limited to dashes, dots, and spaces, measured in units and shown as follows.
A dash is indicated by a positive number
A dot is indicated by a zero.
A space is indicated by a negative number.
Each item is separated by a comma, there are no spaces, and the maximum line is
length is 80 characters.

*TV, buried television cable

CREATING HATCH PATTERN

*Pattern-name [, description]
angle,x-origin,y-origin,delta-x,delta-y,[,dash1,dash2,……….]
Here are some general points for hatch pattern definition
Pattern name cannot have spaces.
The description is optional.
Add the dash specification only for non-continuous lines.
You can have more than one definition line (the second line in the preceding
syntax), creating sets of hatch definition that combines to create the hatch pattern.
Each definition line can be no more than 80 characters.
You can include a maximum of six specifications (which include spaces and
dots).
You can add spaces in the definition lines for readability.
*ftrailer,proposed future trailers

105,0,0,0,0,.5
The lines are at an angle of 105 degree; the hatch pattern starts at 0,0, and the spacing
between the lines 0.5 units. The lines are continuous.
adding one level of complexity,you can make the lines in the hatch pattern non continous,
as follows.

Absolute co-ordinate system:

In this system, the origin (0,0) is assumed to be in the lower-left corner of
the drawing area and all the coordinates are referred from it.
In this system the position of zero is fixed and it is not changed with
Drawing every time. Therefore in this system there is no need of using @
sign
Suppose first point A is taken at 50,50 then
Specify next point: 59,50
World coordinate system (WCS)

and the Z-axis is perpendicular to the XY plane.
In addition to the WCS, you can define a movable user coordinate system
(UCS) with a different origin and axes in different directions. You define a
UCS in terms of the WCS.
Polar coordinate systems use a distance and an angle to locate a point.

When you enter polar coordinate values, you indicate a point's distance from
the origin or from the previous point and its angle along the XY plane of the
current coordinate system.

Zoom in Real Time

With the Real-time option, you zoom dynamically by moving your pointing device
(mouse) up or down. By right clicking, you can display a shortcut menu with additional
viewing commands.
Zoom All: ZOOM all displays either the user-defined drawing limits or the drawing
extents, whichever view is larger. Zoom all command shows all the drawings present in a
drawing file.
Zoom Center: You can move a specific point in your drawing to the center of the
drawing area. ZOOM Center is useful for resizing an object and bringing it to the center
of the view port. You can specify size by entering either the number of vertical drawing
units or a magnification relative to the current view. by using this command you can
bring the drawing in the center of the screen.

12(a) explains various object selection options available in AutoCAD, with the help of
neat explanatory sketches.
OBJECT SELECTION OPTION
1) ALL 2) CROSSING (C) 3) CROSSING POLYGAON (CP) 4) FENCE (F)
4) MULTIPLE (M) 7) WINDOW (W) 8) WINDOW POLYGAON (WP) 9) ADD
(A) 10) REMOVE (R) 12) SINGLE (SI) 13) LAST (L)
All: this will select all the objects available in the file.
Crossing: if we drag the mouse from upper right corner to lower left corner, solid window
is generated but if “c” option is used then crossing window is generated.
CROSSING POLYGAON (CP): - this option enables us to have polygonal selection
area instead of rectangular.
FENCE (F): fence is a line, which will select those objects that are crossing with it.
MULTIPLE (M): this option will prevent AutoCAD from pausing and adding the
objects after every click; it will select the objects in background and will show selection
after pressing enter key. You will not see the counting of objects and its total. Observe
message Select objects: 1 found, 2 total. Will not be displayed.
Window (w): if drag mouse form lower right to upper left corner crossing polygon is
created but if w is given then this process is reversed ie window (solid) is created.
Window polygon (wp): - selection will be window polygon instead of rectangular.
Add (A) or remove (R): - with these options objects can be added or removed in the
selection set.
Single (si): - any command requiring object selection continuously prompts us to select
objects unless and until we don’t press enter key. The command is applied on selection
on second enter, but with single option the command is applied on first selection and then
the command ends.
Last (L): - selects the last object created.

rays, splines, or xlines with an arc of a specified radius.
CHAMFER: -- Bevels the edges of objects. Chamfering connects two nonparallel

objects by extending or trimming them to intersect or to join with a beveled line. You can
chamfer lines, polylines, xlines, and rays. With the distance method, you specify the
amount that each line should be trimmed or extended. With the angle method, you can
also specify the length of the chamfer and the angle it forms with the first line. You can
retain the objects as they were before the chamfer or trim or extend them to the chamfer
line.
(C) Explain the use of ‘divide’ and ‘measure’ command.
DIVIDE: -Places evenly spaced point objects or blocks along the length or perimeter of
an object. Objects that you can divide include arcs, circles, ellipses and elliptical arcs,
polylines, and splines.
Divide command divides the object into equal number of parts. For example a line
of 100mm will be divided in 15 parts each of 6.67 mm. Divide command never creates
unequal parts.
Measure: Places point objects or blocks at measured intervals on an object. In simple
language we can say that measure command divides the object into specified length.
Measure command can create unequal parts.

If you have been asked to divide a line of 100 mm into 15 equal parts then use divide
command (don’t forget to use DDPTYPE with divide and measure command)
If it is required to divide a line of 100 mm into segments of 15 mm each then use
MEASURE command. (ddptype command :--Specifies the display mode and size of point
objects)

Explain the concept of x/y/z point filters, with the help of neat explanatory sketches.
Coordinate filters
Functions that extract individual X, Y, and Z coordinate values from different points to
create a new, composite point. Also called X,Y,Z point filters.
.X Specifies a .X point filter: .X
.Y Specifies a .Y point filter: .Y
.Z Specifies a .Z point filter: .Z
.XY Specifies a .XY point filter: .XY
.XZ Specifies a .XZ point filter: .XZ
.YZ Specifies a .YZ point filter: .YZ
You can use point filters to specify one coordinate value at a time while temporarily
ignoring other coordinate values. When used with object snaps, point filters can extract
coordinate values from an existing object so you can locate another point.
Specifying a point filter limits the next entry to a specific ordinate value, such as the X or
the Y value, or an X,Y coordinate value. You also can specify Z values (typically for 3D
models). After you specify the first value, AutoCAD prompts you for the remaining
values.

8. A) explain the difference between VPORTS and VPOINT commands.
VPORTS: - Divides the drawing area into multiple tiled or floating view ports. You can
display tiled view ports in various configurations. How you display the view ports
depends on the number and size of the views you need to see. If you're not familiar with
the available configurations, you can select one by choosing its picture.
VPOINT: - VPOINT puts the viewer in a position to look at the drawing as if looking
back at the origin (0,0,0) from a specified point in space.
View Point
Using the X,Y,Z coordinate you enter, creates a vector that defines a direction from
which the drawing can be viewed. The view defined is as if the viewer were looking back
at the origin (0,0,0) from space.

Compass and Axis Tripod
Displays a compass and axis tripod, which you use to define a viewing direction in the
view port.
(b) Explain the concept and utility of layers in AutoCAD drawing.

Layer in AutoCAD are like transparent glass or plastic sheet having zero thickness.
Layers in AutoCAD are used for assigning different colors, line types to drawing objects.
With the use of layers you can place different objects of drawing on different layers.
When the layer is made off objects on that layer becomes temporarily invisible.if the
layer is locked objects on that layer can not be modified. Layer is a logical grouping of
data that are like transparent acetate overlays on a drawing. You can view layers
individually or in combination. You always draw on a layer. It may be the default layer or
a layer you create. Each layer has an associated color, linetype, lineweight, and plot style.
You can use layers to organize drawings into groups of objects as well as to identify
different objects with varying colors, linetypes, and lineweights.
For example, you can create a layer for centerlines. You assign the properties you want
for centerlines (color, linetype, lineweight) to the layer. When you want to draw a
centerline, you switch to the centerline layer and begin drawing. You do not need to
specify a linetype, lineweight, and color every time you draw a centerline.

same layer. For example, you can put construction lines, text, dimensions, and title blocks
on separate layers. You can then control
Whether objects on a layer are visible in any viewports
• Whether and how objects are plotted

• What color is assigned to all objects on a layer
• What default linetype and lineweight is assigned to all objects on a layer
• Whether objects on a layer can be modified
When you begin a new drawing, AutoCAD creates a special layer named 0. By
default, layer 0 is assigned color number 7 (white or black depending upon your
background color), the CONTINUOUS linetype, a lineweight of Default (the default
setting is .01 inch or .25 mm), and the NORMAL plot style. Layer 0 cannot be
deleted or renamed.

(c) Explain various options available in GRID and SNAP commands, with the help of
neat sketches.
The grid is a rectangular pattern of dots that extends over the area you specify as the
drawing limits. Using the grid is similar to placing a sheet of grid paper under a drawing.
The grid helps you align objects and visualize the distances between them. The grid is not
plotted. If you zoom in or out of your drawing, you may need to adjust grid spacing to be
more appropriate for the new magnification.
Snap mode restricts the movement of the crosshairs to intervals that you define. When
Snap mode is on, the cursor seems to adhere, or "snap," to an invisible rectangular grid.
Snap is useful for specifying precise points with the arrow keys or the pointing device.
Specify grid spacing(X) or [ON/OFF/Snap/Aspect] <current>: Specify a value or enter

an option
Grid spacing (x) Sets the grid to the specified value. Entering x after the value sets the
grid spacing to the specified value multiplied by the snap interval
On: - Turns on the grid using the current spacing.

Snap: Controls an invisible grid that restricts cursor movement to specified intervals.
Aspect: Specifies different spacing in the X and Y directions. This option is not available
if the current snap style is Isometric.
(a) Explain Center, Length, Angle Direction, Radius options of ARC command with
the help of neat explanatory sketch.
Angle: Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) using a center point (2)
with a specified included angle. If the angle is negative, AutoCAD draws a clockwise arc.
Included angle: Specify an angle
Chord Length
Draws either a minor or a major arc.
Specify length of chord: Specify a length

endpoint, and radius. You can specify the radius by entering a length or by moving the
cursor away from the endpoint to specify a distance.
The illustration on the right shows an arc drawn with the pointing device by specifying a
start point and endpoint and a direction of the tangent. Moving the cursor up from the
start point and endpoint draws the arc concave to the object, as shown here. Moving the
cursor down would draw the arc convex to the object.
Center Point
Using the center point draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an
endpoint (2) that falls on an imaginary ray drawn from the center point (3) through the
second point specified.
Angle
Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an endpoint (2), with a
specified included angle. If the angle is negative, AutoCAD draws a clockwise arc.
Specify included angle:

Draws the minor arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to the endpoint (2). If the
radius is negative, AutoCAD draws the major arc.
(b) A drawing, shown in Fig.9 (b), comprises of a square A, equilateral triangles B,

C, D (of same size), a hexagon E, and a Pentagon F.
The square A is of size 100x100 and its lower left corner (PO) is at position (40, 30).
The drawing is to be completed using only the ‘Edge’ option of POLYGON.

10. (a) Explain ‘Inscribed’, ‘Circumscribed’ and ‘Edge options of POLYGON’ with
the help of neat sketches.

Specifying the radius with your pointing device
determines the rotation and size of the polygon.
Specifying the radius with a value draws the bottom edge
of the polygon at the current snap rotation angle.
Circumscribed about Circle: -Specifies the distance from the center of the polygon to
the midpoints of the edges of the polygon.
Specify radius of circle: Specify a distance
Specifying the radius with your pointing device

determines the rotation and size of the polygon.
Specifying the radius with a value draws the bottom edge
of the polygon at the current snap rotation angle.
Edge: - Defines a polygon by specifying the endpoints of

the first edge.
Specify first endpoint of edge: Specify a point (1)
Specify second endpoint of edge: Specify a point (2)
(b) Line AB is an existing horizontal line. Complete the drawing as shown in Fig,
given that:
(1) Arc BC is a Semicircular Arc.
(2) Arc BD is a Quarter Circular Arc.
(3) Arc CAE passes through point E, which is upper quadrant/Mid point
of Arc BC.

11. (a) Explain the function and utility of stretch command with the help of neat
explanatory sketches.
Drawing with the SKETCH command controls a screen-based pen with a pointing
device. SKETCH is useful for entering map outlines, signatures, or other freehand
drawings. Sketched lines are not added to the drawing until they are recorded. The
standard digitizer tablet button menu is not available while SKETCH is in progress.
You can use the SKETCH command to draw freehand sketches. Freehand sketches
comprise many line segments. Each line segment can be a separate object or a polyline.
You set the minimum length or increment of the segments. Sketching is useful for
creating irregular boundaries or for tracing with a digitizer. Small line segments allow for
greater accuracy, but they can greatly increase the drawing file size. For this reason, use
this tool sparingly.
Before sketching, check the CELTYPE system variable to make sure the current linetype
is BYLAYER. If you use a linetype with dots or dashes and set the sketch line segment
shorter than the spaces or dashes, you won't see the spaces or dashes.

I USED TO DRAW THIS TO EXPLAIN SKECTH COMMAND TO STUDENTS
IN THIS SKETCH I TRIED TO SHOW RISING SUN FROM MOUNTAINS,
BIRD FLYING OVERS MOUNTAINS, RIVER FLOWING AT BOTTOM
WITH FISHERMAN IN HIS BOAT. DRAWN BY D.V. SHIRBHATE
UTITILITY OF SKETCH COMMAND: You use Tablet mode with a digitizer.

Sketching in Tablet mode is useful for such things as tracing map outlines from paper
directly into an AutoCAD drawing. You can't turn off Tablet mode while sketching.
When Tablet mode is on, you can configure AutoCAD to map the paper drawing's
coordinate system directly into the AutoCAD world coordinate system. Thus, there is a
direct correlation between the coordinates where screen crosshairs appear, the
coordinates on the tablet, and the coordinates in the original paper drawing. After
configuring AutoCAD to match the coordinates of the paper drawing, you may find that
the area shown on the screen is not the area you need. To avoid this problem, use ZOOM
to display the entire work area before you start to sketch.
(b) Giving all the steps and explanatory sketches show how Fig. 11 (b)-Part 1, can be
transformed to Fig. 11 (b)-Part 2, first using Polar Array and then Rectangular
Array option of ARRAY command.

For a moment we assume that circle diameter is 10 mm. To create 12 arrows, first select
arrow. We will use polar array for this purpose. Use center of circle as center for array.

Enter the distance between rows or specify unit cell (---): 10
Specify the distance between columns (|||): 10
12.(a) Explain the function and utility of TRIM and EXTEND commands with the
help of neat explanatory sketches.
TRIM: - Trims objects at a cutting edge defined by other objects
Objects that can be trimmed include arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, lines, open 2D and 3D
polylines, rays, splines, floating viewports, regions, text, and xlines.
CUTTING EDGE

Select the objects that define the cutting edges at which you want to trim an object or
press ENTER to select all objects as potential cutting edges. TRIM projects the cutting
edges and the objects to be trimmed onto the XY plane of the current user coordinate
system (UCS).
When AutoCAD prompts you to select boundary edges, you can press ENTER and select
the object to be trimmed. AutoCAD trims the object against the nearest candidate.
EXTEND: - Extends an object to meet another object
Objects that you can extend include arcs, elliptical arcs, lines, open 2D and 3D polylines,
and rays.
You can extend objects so they end precisely at a boundary defined by other objects. You
can also extend objects to where they would intersect a boundary. This is called
extending to an implied boundary. In the following example, you extend the lines
precisely to a circle, which is the boundary.
A word from author…………

Dear students
AutoCAD is one of the most popular and widely used application software between Engg. Students. It is
said that “drawing is a language of engineer” and today AutoCAD expresses that language. A pc has
become an essential item of every home and there is no alternative to AutoCAD, therefore every successful
engineer must have a sound knowledge of AutoCAD. Many people claim to have a sound knowledge of
AutoCAD but very few actually posses it. I have devoted myself in spreading knowledge of AutoCAD. I
have a dedicated web site for this purpose, which I have lunched five years ago containing complete
syllabus of AutoCAD. http://business.vsnl.com/siddhivinayak_akola
Students should visit the above site. So hurry and dial 0724-2422684 AutoCAD help line.
