AutoCAD Circle and Fillet Tutorial

The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a 3D model in AutoCAD. It involves: 1) Creating circles of different radii and using polar array and fillet commands to generate a 2D profile. 2) Using presspull and extrude commands to turn the 2D profile into a 3D solid and add additional cylinders. 3) Applying union and fillet commands to combine geometries and add fillets. This results in a complex 3D solid with cut-outs.

Tutorial

Exercise 1
Step 1

Create the following circles using CIRCLE command from


draw panel of home tab, make sure circle with radius 2.5 units
has its center on the circumference of the circle with radius 26
units.
Step 2

Select Polar Array from the Modify panel of Home tab and
select two small circles on the top of geometry. Now specify
the center of the largest circle as the center of the array and
enter 4 in the Number of Items field. You will get an array like
the one shown in the image below.
Step 3

Delete the biggest circle and select FILLET command now


enter R on the command line and type 7 as the fillet radius.
Now apply this fillet at the intersections of the circle with R2.5
and R22.5 as shown in the image.
Step 4

Trim all the geometries to make it look like the image shown.


Step 5, 6, 7
Type J on the command line and press enter then select complete geometry and press enter again. This will join
all external 2D segments into a single unit. You may need to repeat the JOIN command couple of times to join
the geometry completely.

Change view to southwest isometric and visual style to Shaded from Views and Visual styles panel of
Visualize tab.

Type PRESSPULL on the command line and click at a


location inside the geometry, make sure you are clicking
inside the geometry and not on the geometry. Enter the
height of 3 units on the command line and press Enter
again.
Step 8

Create a circle of R17 on the top of the object made in previous


step, but for making a circle on top plane you need to make sure
that dynamic UCS is turned on. Press F6 to turn on dynamic
UCS then select circle command and move your cursor to
the top plane and click at the center of geometry for circle’s
center and enter a radius of 17 units and press Enter again.
Step 9

Type EXT on the command line and press enter then select the
circle we have drawn in previous step and press enter again.
Enter a height of 5.5 units and press enter again to exit the
extrude command.
Step 10

Now create another circle of radius 14 units with the same


center on top of geometry which we have drawn in the previous
step and extrude it by 3.5 units the same way we did previously.
Step 11, 12
Now type UNION and Press ENTER then select complete geometry and press enter again, this will ensure that
all geometries get combined as a single unit.

Create a circle of R11 on the top most surface of the geometry. Now type PRESSPULL on the command line
and press Enter then click inside the circle of radius 11 units and enter -12 as depth of geometry, this will make
a hole in existing geometry.
Step 13

Type F on the command line and press enter to start fillet


command, type R on the command line and enter a radius of 1.5
units for the fillet. Now select the edge between the flat piece
and the biggest cylinder as shown in the image below and press
enter twice to exit the command.
