Now, I will explain another command in AutoCAD. What is it ? Yaps, Zoom and PAN command.
Do you know the usefulness of the command in AutoCAD ? Let's check the explaination.
Now, I will explain another command in AutoCAD. What is it ? Yaps, Zoom and PAN command.
Do you know the usefulness of the command in AutoCAD ? Let's check the explaination.
- ZOOM command
ZOOM command is a command that used for enlarge or minimize objects on the display screen of
AutoCAD.
- PAN command
PAN command is a command for move objects on the screen display of AutoCAD.
Practicing making Arc and Circle object
Resuming the previous object, now you will try to enlarge a full screen object display using a Zoom-Extents. Then, you enlarge one piece of object using Zoom-Window. Doing PAN command for shift the display. The last one is doing Zoom-All for seeing the overall object.
- Resuming the previous example.
- You run the ZOOM-Extents command for make objects appear one full screen
Picture 1.8 Previous example before zooming
3. Look at picture 1.8. That is the previous example object.
Picture 1.8.1 Object after Zoom extents

- CIRCLE command
Practicing making Arc and Circle object
a. Making Arc
In this example, you will make an arc object with three point.
- First, you erase all object with ERASE command. After this, type ALL and press enter. And then, press enter once again.
- You type ARC command and press Enter.
Picture 1.7 Clicking position for making Arc object
3. Look at picture 1.7. You click in P1, P2, P3 position and press enter.

Specify start point of arc or [Center] : (click P1)
Specify second point of arc or [Center/End] : (click P2)
Specify end point of arc : (click P3)
b. Making Circle with center point method
The first example for making a circle is make a circle with center point method. In here, you must set center point first, and then you set the radius or diameter from the circle.
For this example you requested to make a center method circle with radius of the circle 5.
- First, you erase all object with ERASE command, and type ALL. And then, you press Enter once again.
- You type CIRCLE command and press Enter. Then you click in center of AutoCAD 2012 screen, and type radius of the circle 5. Below is a complete explanation.
Command : CIRCLE
Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)] : (click in clik in center of AutoCAD
2012 screen)
Specify radius of circle or [Diameter] : 5
Picture 1.7.2 The result of making center point method circle with radius 5
c. Making Circle with three point method
Another method to make a circle is You must set three point for make a circle object.
- You erase all object with ERASE command. Type ALL and press Enter. And press Enter once again.
- You type CIRCLE command and press Enter.

Specify second point of circle's diameter : (click P2)
e. Making Circle with TTR method
TTR is acronym from tangent-tangent radius. The function of this method is that you can make a circle between two objects. For examples you can use to make a circle in a corner of the object.
In this example you create an object using the RECTANG command. You create a circle object in one corner of the square.
- You erase all object with ERASE command. Type ALL and press Enter. And press Enter once again.

2D Coordinate
2D Coordinate in AutoCAD 2012
Picture 1.5 Basic principles of Cartesius coordinat.
Cartesius is a coordinat which used X and Y axis as base. X axis lies in the field of horizontal and W axis lies in the field of vertical. The second meeting of the axis called with the point of origin. The value is 0,0. Look at picture 1.5 for illustration of basic principles in Cartesius coordinat.
Picture 1.5.1 Basic principles of Polar coordinat
Format from Polar coordinat in AutoCAD is @distance<angle.
@ and < absolute be given as base format use Polar.
Distance is the value which included as placement distance for the next point from current point.
Picture 1.5.2 Angle values of Polar coordinat (Degrees unit)
Look at picture 1.5.2 for illustration angle values of polar coordinat.
Angle is direction of the point placement. Standart unit for angle values is degree.
Relative is a coordinat system which used principle length (x) and width (y) values as determining the next point. Look at picture 1.5.3.
Picture 1.5.3 Base principal of Relative coordinat
Format from relative coordinat is @length,width.
@ and , absolute be given as base format using relative.
Length is a point distance for horizontal plane.
Width is a point distance for vertical plane.

Command Input Method
Command Input Method AutoCAD 2012
In AutoCAD 2012 there are two method that you can use for make a command AutoCAD. The first method with typing command that you want on command line. And the second method is with clicking toolbar on ribbon bar.
That method have an excellence's and weaknesses. The excellence of the first method is that can be faster than the second method if you know the commands in AutoCAD. The weakness of the first method is that you must know the commands in AutoCAD.
The excellence of the second method is that's more easier to use for you who are new to using AutoCAD, because the commands represented by pictorial toolbar. The toolbars have been grouped by category so it is easier to find. But the weakness of the second method is that you will quite troublesome to access commands in AutoCAD, because in delineation process in AutoCAD you will busy to changing one command to another command. This is the review :
a. Typing Command
For the first method , here you will make a line using Line command. Line command run with typing in command line. These are the Instruction :

3. Look at picture 1.3.1. You make a line with size and any position, with clicking P1 position and P2.
Press Enter in keyboard for ending making line.
Picture 1.3.2 Results of Making Line
b. Using Toolbar
For the second method, you make line object with command LINE from toolbar in the ribbon bar AutoCAD 2012.
Picture 1.3.3 Line button location
- Look at picture 1.3.3. You switch 2D Drafting & Annotation Workspace if it not active. After that make sure the Home tab is active, then click Line toolbar.
Picture 1.3.4 Clicking Position for make the second line
2. Look at picture 1.3.4. You make the second line in the first line position. Click in P1 position and
