In this post I want to introduce a module available in Python for automatizing the creation of drawings in AutoCAD. The module is called pyautocad. It is supported by pip install for easy installation. The pyautocad module will also allow […]
In this post I will demonstrate the layer walk tool in AutoCAD. In other posts I have introduced basic AutoCAD commands such as AutoCAD LINE, AutoCAD PLINE etc. I have also demonstrated how one can use pyautocad for scripting AutoCAD […]
In this post I will demonstrate the AutoCAD MLINE command for drawing multilines in AutoCAD. I start by entering the MLINE command into AutoCAD. AutoCAD will prompt me for a start point. After having selected the start point AutoCAD will […]
In this post I will demonstrate the AutoCAD XLINE command. In other posts I already demonstrated simple AutoCAD commands such as e.g. AutoCAD LINE, AutoCAD MLINE, AutoCAD CIRCLE, AutoCAD OFFSET and many more. You can create construction lines of infinite […]
In this post I will demonstrate rays in AutoCAD, using the AutoCAD RAY command. In other posts I already demonstrated other simple AutoCAD commands, such as e.g. the AutoCAD PLINE command. Rays or ray lines are linear objects that have […]
In this post I will demonstrate three AutoCAD commands related to AutoCAD regions: INTERSECT, SUBTRACT and UNION. In a previous post I introduced the AutoCAD region command. I have also already introduced other basic AutoCAD commands, such as e.g. AutoCAD […]
The AutoCAD REGION command allows you to convert objects into regions. I provide a basic introduction in this post. I have already introduced other basic AutoCAD commands in other post (e.g. AutoCAD PLINE, AutoCAD SPLINE etc.). Below I trigger the […]
In this post I want to introduce the SPLINE command in AutoCAD. In other posts I have already introduced other important objects and commands in AutoCAD, such as e.g. AutoCAD XLINE, AutoCAD PLINE, AutoCAD POLYGON etc. A spline is curved […]
In previous posts I demonstrated objects such as AutoCAD line, AutoCAD circle, AutoCAD rectangle, AutoCAD polyline, AutoCAD hatch etc. In this post I will demonstrate the AutoCAD POLYGON command for creating a polygon object. In AutoCAD, a polygon is an […]
In previous posts I have introduced e.g. a AutoCAD line, AutoCAD polyline, AutoCAD circle, AutoCAD rectangle, AutoCAD layers, AutoCAD object properties and various AutoCAD features. In this post I want to demonstrate how AutoCAD supports modification of existing drawings. AutoCAD […]
In previous posts I have introduced basics in AutoCAD. E.g. I have demonstrated a AutoCAD line, AutoCAD polyline, AutoCAD rectangle, AutoCAD circle as well as AutoCAD layers and various settings, functions and features. In this post I want to introduce […]
In AutoCAD, layers are used for organizing a drawing. Objects can be assigned to layers and you can e.g. hide entire layers when you do not need to see them. You can also enfore colors and linetypes for entire layers, […]
In previous posts I have provided basic introductions to AutoCAD. E.g. I have introduced AutoCAD line, AutoCAD polyline, AutoCAD circle etc. I have also introduced various helpful AutoCAD functions (F1 to F12 in AutoCAD). In this post I want to […]
In AutoCAD you can use keyboard keys F1 to F12 to access helpful functions. F1 Help function; opens for active tool tip F2 Displays command history (expanded history) F3 Turn object snapping on or off F4 Turn on 3D object […]
In previous posts I introduced AutoCAD polar tracking and angle locking in AutoCAD. In this post I will demonstrate object snaps in AutoCAD. This too is a feature supporting precision in AutoCAD. Object snaps are the most important precision feature […]
