SUBJECT TITLE

SUBJECT DETAILS

AutoCAD interface

AutoCAD interface has applications like the ribbon, the menu browser, steering wheels, info centre, tool palettes, the command prompt, viewports, status bar, slow motion, view cube, quick access toolbar, and action recorder.  These commands and the user interface elements are used for drafting and editing tasks in AutoCAD.

Sketch entities & sketch tools

This subject focuses on the explanation and demonstration of the tools on the sketch panel. Such tools are individually demonstrated and explained most of the time. Sketch tools and entities are combined with sample problems for showing the togetherness of tools in making more complicated sketches.

Mechanical diagrams

Students will learn about the concept of mechanical drawing, which is also called drafting. Mechanical drawing is a method used for representing a 3D object on a 2D piece of drawing paper. There are two types of mechanical drawings such as pictorial and orthographic.

Dimensions & Dimensions Styles

Students will learn about the dimensions of styles. It is a collection of dimension texts and controls its appearance. There are mainly four types of dimension styles used in AutoCAD such as linear, radial, ordinate, and angular.

Equations, Design Table, & Configurations

Students will learn about the link between equations, design tables, and configuration. Equations are a simple form of line used to represent expressions. A design table is an excel sheet used to edit dimensions. The design table also allows its users to build multiple configurations.

Isometric Views

Students will understand the concept of isometric views. Isometric views are also called isometric projections, which is the method of representing 3D objects in 2D using technical drawings. There are three types of isometric projections such as isometric, dimetric, and oblique.

Creating & Editing Text

In AutoCAD, a text can be created by following a small procedure. Students will easily understand with the help of the following points:

·         Annotation panel

·         Multiline text

·         Specify opposite corners of the bounding box

·         Define the width of multiline text

·         Specify initial formatting

·         Enter text

·         Click on the Save button

There are also certain points to edit the test on the AutoCAD.

Sketch Visualization& Sketch Analysis

The students will learn about the four main steps of creating a sketch, such as reviewing key information, starting design work with the help of graphics, considering multiple variations, and making a detailed solution. Sketch visualization allows you to create a walkthrough of your model. After creating a sketch, students will review and analyses it from different panels.

Geometry & Dimensional Constraints

Geometric constraints are used to control the relationship between objects. The dimensional constraints are used to control the length, angle, distance, and radial values of the objects.
