AutoCAD is Fun!



Ayee! Long time no see. The holidays ended too soon. Time to learn autoCAD! 

21.3.2013 MONDAY 
9.00-1.50 p.m 

AutoCAD is not auto at all but it's fun...a more advanced version of paint. Well , we learnt to identify what's in it and few basic commands. Lastly, we had got to create a football field drawing, After about half an hour introduction, we started to type some commands. Somehow, it reminded me of logic gates hmmh...

Today's autoCAD tutorial was fun and relaxing. We learnt few of the commands. Then, we put what we have learnt into good practices.



ARRAY-AR

RECTANGULAR AR- HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL
POLAR AR- CIRCULAR PATH BASED ON CENTER POINT

To see the whole zoom out screen:
Z > SPACE BAR > A> SPACE BAR

OFFSET- O
O> SPACE BAR

Here's 1 of the autoCAD drawings I've done today...Hello Kitty!



autoCAD 2011 version












autoCAD 2009 version



I prefer to use the newer version as the grid lines are more visible as compared to the grid dots in 2D drafting and annotation mode

Can't wait for the next lesson! Okay, I'll go and learn few more examples. 

Till next time :)

First Post of The Year

It's 2013. Happy New Year! Here I am to recall back projects that I have been involved last year. Spring cleaning time so yeah need to clean off the remainder before the coming projects that are measured drawings and documentation. I don't want my folder monster to hunt me during night time :/
