Course Objectives:
- To familiarize the different software used for drawing
- To Introduce the basic commands and tools necessary for two-dimensional drawing, design and drafting using AutoCAD
Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- Illustrate the use of computer aided drafting software.
- Identify various commands used in CAD.
- Apply knowledge to draw simple two-dimensional drawings and sections using CAD
- Construct Isometric drawing of simple objects
Module 1:
Introduction to Computer Aided Drafting: Application – Advantages over manual drafting – Hard ware requirements – Soft ware requirements – Identifying Different software – Auto CAD – Pro E – IDEAS and Open – Source drafting software. Components of AutoCAD software window: Title bar, standard tool bar, menu bar, object properties tool bar, draw tool bar, modify tool bar, cursor cross hair. Command window, status bar, drawing area, UCS icon. CAD basics – main menu, starting a new drawing, open, save, save as, exit, drawing editor, entering commands using mouse, pull down menu, getting help, data entry, entity selection. Setting up new drawing: Units, Limits, Grid, Snap. Undoing and redoing action.
Module 2:
Draw and modifying commands: setting commands – limits of drawing, units, grid, snap, osnap, co-ordinates, ortho mode locating a point – absolute coordinate system – relative coordinate system – polar coordinate system – direct distance entry system. – simple exercises Draw commands – line, circle, arc, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, spline, polyline, etc. Editing commands – erase, copy, array, rotate, mirror, offset, scale move, trim, fillet, chamfer, extend, stretch, p – line edit, explode, block, layers etc. Dimensioning: Linear, Horizontal Vertical, Aligned, Rotated Baseline, Continuous, Diameter, Radius and Angular Dimensions. Dim scale variable. Editing dimensions. Text: Single line Text, Multiline text. – simple exercises Standard sizes of sheet. Selecting Various plotting parameters such as Paper size, paper units, drawing orientation, plot scale, plot offset, plot area, print preview.
Module 3:
Working with CAD: Properties of lines – color, line weight, line type, layer properties -Hatch and gradients. Draw basic 2D entities like: Rectangle, Rhombus, and Polygon using AutoCAD. Draw basic 2D entities like: Circles, Arcs, ellipse using AutoCAD. Draw basic 2D entities like: Circular and rectangular array using AutoCAD. Draw blocks of 2D entities comprises of Rectangle, Rhombus, Polygon, Circles, Arcs, circular and rectangular array, blocks using AutoCAD. Developing orthographic and sectional views of simple components with dimensions and text. Exercises: Orthographic views: Draw orthographic views of simple engineering objects like C-block, Stepped block, Cylindrical block etc. (Draw minimum 5 figures) Sectional views: Draw sectional views of simple engineering objects like Lever, Wall bracket etc. (Draw minimum 3 figures) Print/Plot the prepared drawings in CAD. (Printout should be a part of progressive assessment).
Module 4:
Isometric drawing: Concept, Isometric snap and grid, Isometric views of simple objects such as cube, step block, cylinder etc. with dimensioning.
Note:
End semester examination in CAD practical only. Students need to prepare record book with printed/plotted drawings.
