New Way of Creating AutoCAD Drawings

Posted by Jos van Doorn, in Reference


You can sue this way. If you’re creating 2D drawings and 3D drawings. If you follow this way, you’re saving
a lot of time.

The new way of creating auto-CAD drawings is all about creating a 3D drawing first and then using that drawing to create your 2D drawing.

In this course is explained how it is done. More. There is even explained how you can add dimensions to your 2D drawing.

Let’s make a good start. We start with creating a 3D drawing. It’s going to be a simple drawing. But that

doesn’t matter.

We open AutoCAD. We start with a new drawing. We draw a rectangle. The size of the rectangle is 200 by 100. And we draw a circle.

The comes is drawn in the left side of the rectangle. The diameter of the circle is 100. It fits nicely in
the rectangle.

This is the base of the 3D drawing. Let’s extrude the rectangle and the circle. We give them a height of 50.
And a taper angel of zero.

We now have two 3D objects. Let’s make one 3D object. We use the UNION command. You know that command. You know what to do.

To see the 3D model clearly we go to a 3D view of the drawing. Next we save the drawing. Give it the name 3D drawing.

    What’s shakin’?

    It’s difficult to even get some free time to surf the internet this times with this economy going on up and down and all around, I was wondering if I should go to get some loans but the banks are not so willingly with people this days. Anyway, with all this usual troubles that lead to anything good at least I came across a nice website.

    I was looking concrete, beams, construction articles mainly and I came across this baby of yours. Some food for brain until I finish my work

    Take Care

    Interesting idea for anyone who is looking to save time (all of us) should give a shot. Great post, the process is well explained. I work with the McGraw Hill Sweets Network, who can help all of your autocad drawings needs.
