Practice the 2D Coordinate in AutoCAD 2012

a. Cartesius Coordinate
In this example, You will make a rectangular object with point placement : [5,5] - [20,5] - [20,10] - [5,10]. This is the step :

Open AutoCAD 2012

Picture 1.6 Button location of Dynamic iput

2. Look at Picture 1.6. You turn off Dynamut input button with clicking one time.

Note:

Dynamic input is a features which displays the command that you type in the active cursor. So,

everything that you type will be appear in your cursor.

In my blog, I not used Dynamic input. So, this features is need to disabled.
Another way to disable or enabling Dynamic input features is with pressing F12 button on
keyboard.

3. You tipe a LINE command and press Enter for run it.

4. Now, you type you type in a value of 5,5 and press Enter.

5. Next, you type 20,5 and press Enter on the keyboard.

6. You type a value of 20,10 and press Enter.

7. You type a value of 5,10 and press Enter.

8. And the last one, you press C button on keyboard and press Enter.

9. The result of making a line will be display like Picture 1.6.1

3. Look at Picture 1.6.2. You click arbitrarily in AutoCAD screen.

4. Next, you type value @10<0 and press enter.

5. You type again value @10<90 and press enter.

6. You type again value @10<180 and press enter.

7. And the last, you press C button and press enter for closing making line.

Picture 1.6.3 The result of making Rectangular 10x10

c. Relative Coordinate

In this example, you will make a Rectangular object with size 20x10 using RECTANG command with Relative coordinat.

Note :

RECTANG command is a command which used for making Rectangular object faster.

First, you erase all object with ERASE command. Then type ALL and press enter. Press enter once again for excecute erasing.

2. You type RECTANG command and press enter.

3. Now, you click arbitrarily in AutoCAD screen.

4. Then, you type value of @20,10 and press enter.

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

4:42 AM | Posted by adit | Edit Post

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 :

First, open AutoCAD 2012 Program

Picture 1.3 Command Line Location

2. Look at picture 1.3. In command line in the bottom of the display area of AutoCAD 2012, you click

then type LINE and press Enter button in keyboard for execute this command.

Picture 1.3.1 Clicking Position

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

P2. Press Enter in keyboard for ending making line.

As I let in the previous page, in my PC I use an AutoCAD 2012. In AutoCAD 2012, consist of many Element's. This is the review.

Tittle Bar

Showing tittle design that we want to make.

Ribbon Bar

Contains toolbars that has been grouped by category. With this Ribbon Bar, searching and calling an AutoCAD command be easy. We know that are many command in AutoCAD.

Navigation Palette

You can rapidly access the commands that related with display screen. Like a zoom, pan and orbit in this palette.

Snap

Snap like a cursor in AutoCAD. Snap showing the laying of object that want be create and be editing. If you moving the mouse, that will be followed by Snap.

UCS Icon

UCS Icon is a symbol which showing drawing direction. In two dimensional image (2D), the horizontal field represented by the x-axis and the vertical field represented by the y-axis.

Box of 3D view

Showing us an direction of vision if we make an 3D object.

Command Line

Is an input area of command for using AutoCAD. If you like using an AutoCAD with typed commands, so your typing will be displayedin Command Line. Command Line also also serves as media information of result production of a command.

Status Bar

The line information of activity. Status Bar also contain a setting of special functions like grid, snap, ortho, and others.

Reason you choose AutoCAD

6:32 AM | Posted by adit | Edit Post

Why did you choose the AutoCAD program?

AutoCAD has the capabilities, features and facilities that can be relied upon to realize the design work car, plane design, interior and exterior of your building.
Creating house plans, sizes, and so it becomes easier.
This program provides a lot of textures, materials, colors and effects that can be used easily.
Creating objects or building in the form of 1-3 dimensions becomes very easy.
AutoCAD is capable of handling a variety of interior and exterior work from the simple to the very complex nature.
To view objects or buildings from various angles very easy to do.
Be able to export the final results of a design in a variety of formats to suit your needs with quality dependable.

What can be produced by the AutoCAD program?

Use easier.
Make a plan / sketch of the house.
Make the building design / building / booth (interior or exterior).
Draw a variety of objects such as lamp design, chairs, tables, pipes and so on.
Makes design of the car, plane, ranging from skeleton until so.
Create images ranging from 1-3 dimensional (3D).
Can zoom in zoom out easier.
And more

What autocad software advantages over other software?

Accuracy

Precision up to 13 digits, AutoCAD has perfect accuracy and much more secure than the manual drawing. In manual drawing, image accuracy is determined by the accuracy and precision of hand-eye is very possible occurrence of errors.

2. Practicality, Ease, and Speed

Depiction and editing facilities are the perfect make AutoCAD is capable of producing much faster than the manual way. Copy command, Array, Block, and so allow us to create and edit images quickly mass and time.

3. Cleanliness and tidiness

With AutoCAD editing commands possessed, allowing us to revise and examine the results of the image before it - was printed, so that the resulting image is clean and perfect without a trace - trace editing, deletion and sweat or crumpled paper as obtained in

images manually.

4. Workspace Unlimited

AutoCAD has an infinite workspace. Highest coordinates that can be entered is 1099. So we can make the image as large and as much as anything in the same space. We can print it out piece by piece or all at once with the right scale.

5. Flexibility Scale

AutoCAD allows one image printed many - times with different scales - different without having to recreate the image. Things that can not be done on the image manually. By setting the appropriate scale when printing, we can also freely choose the units used in the image, whether mm, cm, meters, miles, inches, and so on.

6. Documentation

With a file storage system, the picture will be stored permanently. We can easily and quickly duplications and revise it later when there are changes to the design without having to create an image from scratch again. With floppy disk storage media or CD we can bring - take pictures easily and edit anywhere.

Introducing AutoCAD

4:29 AM | Posted by adit | Edit Post

AutoCAD is a CAD computer software for drawing 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional which is developed by Autodesk. AutoCAD product family, as a whole, is a CAD software most widely used in the world. AutoCAD is used by civil engineers, land developers, architects, mechanical engineers, interior designers and others. Native data formats AutoCAD, DWG, and more unpopular, the data format that can be exchanged (interchange file format) DXF, became the de facto standard CAD data. Lately supports AutoCAD DWF, a format that is published and promoted by Autodesk for publishing CAD data. AutoCAD currently only running in Microsoft operating sistem.

In my PC, I still used AutoCAD 2012 version. I think, no problem with the version. All version have a same usabilty, but may just in specification that experiencing improvement. I think thats no problem, which is important how you are using it to create a design. If you are good, then the result will be good. Just it. And this is the an official website from AutoCAD :
