AutoCAD Basic Lessons Summary

The initial lessons established that AutoCAD is the global standard for Computer-Aided Design (CAD), emphasizing precision and drawing everything at full size (1:1). We identified its critical applications in architecture, engineering, and design.

We then focused on the User Interface, highlighting the importance of the Command Line for fast, precise input and the Status Bar for drafting aids like Ortho Mode (F8) and Object Snap (F3).

The foundation of precision drawing is the Coordinate System. We practiced the three methods for defining points: Absolute (X,Y), Relative (@X,Y), and Polar (@Distance<Angle).

Finally, we covered fundamental geometry and modification commands:

• LINE (L) is the core drawing tool.

• CIRCLE (C) offers six methods, including the default Center, Radius and the useful TTR (Tangent, Tangent, Radius) method.

• COPY (CO) duplicates objects using a Base Point for accurate displacement.

• TRIM (TR) cleans up intersections by using an intersecting object as the cutting edge.
