Medicaps University CADD Workshop

The document provides an introduction to AutoCAD presented by Raj Joshi from Medi-Caps University. It discusses what CAD is and the capabilities of AutoCAD software. It outlines the goals of the workshop which are to cover basic commands, manipulating properties, viewports and printing but not more advanced topics. It demonstrates how to set up the workspace, use common commands like lines, circles, rectangles and manipulating objects. It also discusses units, properties, measuring, dimensioning and setting up viewports and printing layouts.

Introduction to AutoCAD
What is CAD?

• Computer Aided Drafting • Capabilities:


• Autodesk is the most o 2D line drawings
popular drawing program o 3D constructions
• Many student versions o Rendering
available for free online at o Part Assemblies
[Link]
o AutoCAD
o Architecture
o Mechanical
o Revit
o Inventor
o Civil
o MEP
o etc.
Workshop Goals

• What we'll cover: • What we won't cover:


o Setting up the workspace o Rendering
o Basic/common commands o External References
o Manipulating properties o Block creation
o Viewports and printing o Parts/assemblies
Starting a New Drawing
• The big A is like the home button in
MS Office or the File menu in most
programs

• The default template is good


Setting Up the Workspace

• The options window lets you set all your


preferences within the drawing
• Snap and Aperture settings are on a totally
personal basis
Right Click Customization
• Right-click settings are
also personal preference

• Repeating commands and


meaning enter make the
drawing process faster
Preferences
• You can set the color of
just about anything in the
drawing

• The pickbox and grip sizes


will help you manipulate your
drawing
Snaps, etc.

• Snap to Grid
o cursor snaps to grid points
• Show Grid
o displays grid in model space
• Orthographic
o constrains lines to 90deg angles
• Polar Snap
o constrains lines to other angle increments
• Object Snap
o cursor snaps to points on objects
• Dynamic UCS
o shows UCS at all times
• Dynamic Input
o displays input text in space
Some Common Commands

• 3D Commands
 2D Commands
o Line
o Extrude
o Union o Rectangle
o Subtract o Circle
o 3D Rotate o Polyline
o Trim
• Helpful Commands o Extend
o Units
o Offset
o Properties
o Measure o Move
o Dimension o Mirror
o Scale
o Rotate
Command Interface
• Line (L)
• Circle (C)
• Rectangle (REC)
• Polyline (PL)
• Move (M)
• Scale (SC)
• Rotate (RO)
• Offset (O)
• Mirror (MI)
• Trim (TR)
• Extend (EX)
3D Commands
You can change the user interface to 3D
Basics or Modeling if you want to use
buttons, or you can use keyboard entries
EXT
UNI
SU

• You can rotate an object about the X or Y axis with the 3D rotate command
(3R)
Units and Properties

• The units command will let you change the


primary units you will be drawing in
• Properties wil l let
you change just
about any- thing with
respect to the
selected item
Measure and Dimension

• The measure
option has two
important sub-
commands:
o Distance (DI)
o Area (AREA)

• The dimension tool


has many options, and
displays the
measurement in the
drawing
Viewports

• Viewports in layouts help you arrange your


drawings into organized sheets at specific
scales
Setting up to Print

• You can apply a page


setup to your layout to
make the printing
process quicker every
time
More Topics to Investigate

• CAD has lots of options and


possibilities that you should
explore on your own
o Lineweights and types
o Interface options
o Complex shapes
o 3D modeling
o Rendering
o External References
o Bl
