OBJECTIVES
General objective:
Specific objectives:
AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) program for 2D and 3D drawing, you can create
generic drawings or plans, document engineering projects, architecture, maps or
geographic information systems, to mention a few industries and applications. The
files generated by AutoCAD have the proprietary DWG format of Autodesk, this is the
pioneering program representative of CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology.
AutoCAD includes basic geometry for drawing in two dimensions (lines, arcs, curves,
prisms), although it is a general-purpose drawing program, it includes the creation of
parametric sketches, it also has a library manager for different symbols
themes such as architectural, mechanical, and industrial, where you can select the figure that
you need to insert it into your drawing, furthermore, the management of the drawing is by layers.
AutoCAD is the most used program in the industry and academia for producing drawings or
computer plans. The estimated learning time is 3 days in training, 3
weeks to handle it at a good level and 3 months to master it, it also has certifications
of usage level for designers who wish to specialize with these diplomas.
AutoCAD is widely used in the architecture and construction industry.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
AutoCAD
It is a technical drawing program developed by Autodesk for the use of engineers.
technicians and other professionals from design careers.
AutoCAD is a program, as its name suggests, for design; CAD stands for
Computer Aided Design, where all kinds of technical designs can be made, very
useful for engineers, architects, etc., being able to create designs of all kinds in 2D and 3D,
plans, objects, object cuts, etc.; they have already created the 2007 version that has
many advancements in 3D and advanced tools, learn completely
AutoCAD takes time, as it is a very powerful professional tool.
FUNCTIONS
Line: It is used to draw lines separately. (As independent objects from each other)
another).
Arc: With this option, you will be able to create arcs, curves, projections, etc.
text tool.
We start the text box with the left, adjust the size with the cursor, and finish.
the size of the box with Left.
Now the fixed box will appear for us to start writing. To finish we do
Left click outside the box.
Delete: Tool used to erase any type of object, whether text, lines,
etc.
Usage: We select the command, position the cursor on the object to be deleted, and
We select it with Left. Once selected, we confirm with Right.
Another way to erase is by selecting "out of command" the drawing and pressing
the key 'Delete' or 'Del'
Copy: A very useful tool for copying one or several elements, whether text or
drawings, (of one or several objects)
Usage: We select the command, with the cursor we go to the object to
copy or select in the form of a box for more than one object. (The selection of
a group of objects starts and ends with Left., otherwise it is selected with Left, and it
Confirm with Der.
After selecting the object, we confirm with Right. We click Left near the
group or selected object, we move the cursor to the new site where
we choose the destination of the copy, and finish with left click.
Symmetry: this tool mirrors and simultaneously copies the selected object or text.
How to use: We select the command, we move the cursor to the object or text to
mirror. We select with Left click. We confirm with Right.
Now we click with Left. Now moving the cursor we select the new one.
symmetric position of the object, then we click with Left again and confirm
understand
Usage: We select the command, we write the distance between the line
existing and the new to project as follows: Ex. "2.00 + ENTER"
With this, we clarify that the distance will be two meters. Now the cursor is in state
of "selection" in square form, we select the line we chose as
reference with Left. And we move the cursor towards the direction of the new line.
We finished and created the new line with Izq.
(In the event that we draw parallel lines successively, we continue repeating
the selection and the orientation.)
Usage: Same as the 'copy' command, with the difference that it will not copy any
object, it will only move it from the original site.
Usage: We select the command, move the cursor to the object to rotate.
We select the object or group of objects with Left Click. We confirm with Right Click.
by moving the cursor we give it the turn. (we can also write how much we want it)
to turn, for example, in the case of wanting to turn it 45º, you would write "45+ENTER", and with
we would finish the turn or otherwise we would finish the turn with left.)
more than one line can be taken as a reference and more than one line can be trimmed in the
same moment).
(For example, a rectangle made with the command 'rectangle' is an object, if we apply the
object "decompose" in it, this rectangle will turn into four simple lines.
Usage: We select the command, select the object with the left mouse button, and
We confirm the decomposition with Der.
Coat style: With this tool we can configure the text style, type of
line, and details of the elevation.
Linear: it will only serve to launch horizontal or vertical lines. Never diagonal.
Usage mode: We select the command, and with the left click, we select the two.
ends of the line to be dimensioned. By moving the cursor we can select the distance of
separation of the dimension line towards the dimensioning line. We confirm with Der.
Another way to do it would be to give the coordinate address with the cursor and writing.
the distance from it, (e.g. 0.80+ENTER) this way we will obtain the height separated by 80cm
from the line to be bounded.)
Aligned: with this command we only restrict diagonal lines.
Radio: command that will be used to shorten only circles, in this case it will limit the
radio.
Mode of use: We select the command, click Left on the circle, we choose the
position the dimension by moving the mouse, and finish the dimension with the left button.
Diameter: a command similar to 'Radius', with the difference that we restrict the
diameter.
Reduction set
Any machine whose movement is generated by a motor (whether electric, of
explosion or other) needs the speed of that engine to adapt to the speed
necessary for the proper functioning of the machine. In addition to this adaptation of
speed, other factors such as the mechanical power to be transmitted must be considered,
thermal power, mechanical efficiencies (static and dynamic).
This adaptation is generally done with one or several pairs of gears that
they adapt the speed and mechanical power mounted on a compact body
called speed reducer although in some Spanish-speaking countries
it is also called a reduction box.
