You will learn various methods of selecting commands from this screen: such as through the Ribbon, Menu Bar, Toolbar, or Command Line. These commands will allow you to start, open, save, and close drawings. Technical drawing requires that precise distances and angles be constructed, therefore, you will also be shown methods and tools, which will allow the creation of accurate drawings: Direct Distance mode, Cartesian Coordinates absolute, relative, and polar , Object Snaps, Object Snap Tracking, and Polar Tracking.
Workspaces are considered task-oriented environments that use a default drawing template and even launch such items as toolbars and palettes, depending on the workspace. The 3D workspaces will be discussed in greater detail in Chapter Instead of a Ribbon, most commands are accessed through the Menu Bar or through Toolbars docked around the screen.
A Tool Palette is also displayed in this workspace. Commands can be accessed through the palette using a drag and drop method. Study the various screen components as shown in the following image. When you initially load the software, a dialog box, such as the one shown in the figure below, will offer a list of disciplines Architectural, Manufacturing, etc.
When you select the Initial Setup Workspace, as shown on the image on the right, a Tool Palette group related to your discipline will be displayed. You can easily change to a different discipline by right-clicking in a blank part of your screen and choosing Options from the menu as shown in the following image on the left.
This will launch the Options dialog box. Click on the User Preferences tab and notice the Initial Setup button as shown in the following image on the right. Clicking this button will launch the dialog box in the previous image that allows you to change to a different discipline.
You can also select a Workspace Switching icon located on the right end of the Status Bar, as shown in the image on the right. If the current workspace is AutoCAD Classic, you have available not only the two options just discussed, but you can also select a new workspace from the Workspace Toolbar, as shown in the following image in the middle. In addition to selecting one of these pre-existing workspaces, you can also arrange your screen to your liking and save these screen changes as your own custom workspace.
This workspace is automatically created if you are upgrading from a previous version of AutoCAD. Click the button once to turn the mode on or off. A button with a blue color indicates that the mode is on. For example, the following image illustrates Grid turned on blue color and Polar turned off gray color.
Right-clicking on any button in the Status Bar activates the menu shown in the following image. Clicking on Use Icons will change the graphic icons to text mode icons.
When the coordinate display is off, the coordinates are updated when you pick an area of the screen with the cursor. When the coordinate display is on, the coordinates dynamically change with the current position of the cursor. When ON, selected constraints are applied while creating or editing geometry see Chapter The SNAP command forces the cursor to align with grid points. The current snap value can be modified and can be related to the spacing of the grid.
Use this key to force objects, such as lines to be drawn horizontally or vertically. Polar Tracking can force lines to be drawn at any angle, making it more versatile than Ortho mode. The Polar Tracking angles are set through a dialog box. Also, if you turn Polar Tracking on, Ortho mode is disabled, and vice versa. This will be discussed later in this chapter.
These running object snaps are used for modeling in 3D. This feature will also be discussed later in this chapter. This feature is used mainly for modeling in 3D. When turned on, your attention is directed to your cursor position as commands and options are executed. When turned off, all commands and options are accessed through the Command prompt at the bottom of the display screen. When turned off, no lineweights are displayed. When turned on, lineweights that have been assigned to layers are displayed in the drawing.
Toggles Transparency On or OFF to allow the transparency percentage assigned to specific objects to be displayed or not. When selecting overlapped objects, normally the last object created is selected. If selection cycling is on, a list of overlapped objects is provided to choose from. Right-clicking one of the status buttons displays a shortcut menu. Choose Settings to access various dialog boxes that control certain features associated with the button.
These controls will be discussed later in this chapter and also in Chapter 2. The following table describes each function key. Pressing F2 takes you to the text screen consisting of a series of previous prompt sequences. This may be helpful for viewing the previous command sequence in text form. Pressing F5 scrolls you through the three supported Isoplane modes used to construct isometric drawings Right, Left, and Top.
Additional Status Bar Controls Located at the far right end of the Status Bar are additional buttons separated into three distinct groups used to manage the appearance of the AutoCAD display screen and the annotation scale of a drawing.
When annotative objects such as text and dimensions are created, they are scaled based on the current annotation scale and automatically displayed at the correct size. This feature will be discussed in greater detail in Chapter The following table gives a brief description of the remaining buttons found in this area. Locks the position of all toolbars on the display screen. Indicates turns red if objects in the view have been isolated or hidden. Activates a menu used for turning on or off certain Status Bar buttons.
Removes all toolbars from the screen, giving your display an enlarged appearance. Click this button again to return the toolbars to the screen. One of the Copyright Cengage Learning, Inc.
As a command is initiated, AutoCAD prompts the user with a series of steps needed to complete this command. The next series of lines in the command line prompts the user to first specify or locate a center point for the circle. After this is accomplished, you are then prompted to specify the radius of the circle. Typing in this option from the keyboard activates it.
Typically, this value represents the one last used in the command. Dynamic Input Yet another more efficient means of command execution within AutoCAD is through the Dynamic Input feature, which is activated by clicking the DYN button located in the Status Bar at the bottom of your display screen as shown in the following image on the left.
Whether a command is picked from the Ribbon or Menu Bar or entered from the keyboard, you see immediate feedback at your cursor location.
As the cursor is moved around, the Specify center point for Circle prompt also moves. Also notice that the current screen position is displayed. Clicking on the Icon in the upper-left corner will display commands that allow you to create, open, save, print, and publish AutoCAD files as shown in the following image on the left.
Also shown listed are a number of recent drawings, which can be easily opened from the Application Menu. Clicking on the Save As command displays more commands relative to what is currently being used as shown in the following image on the right.
The Options dialog box controls various settings internal to AutoCAD and is considered an advanced feature. The three panels illustrated in the following image show the Recent Documents Mode with drop-down lists exposed. You can display existing files in an ordered list or group them by date or file type.
When you move your cursor over one of these files, a preview image automatically appears in addition to information about the document. Either display method provides an easy way to access most AutoCAD commands. Clicking one of these category headings pulls down a menu consisting of commands related to this heading. This will display the Menu Bar at the top of the screen, as shown in the following image on the right.
When the cursor rolls over a tool, a 3D border is displayed, along with a tooltip that explains the purpose of the command, as shown in the following image on the right. To activate a different toolbar, move the cursor over the top of any command button and press the right mouse button.
A shortcut menu appears that displays all toolbars, as shown in the following image. In this example, placing a check beside Text displays this toolbar. The method of moving toolbars to the sides of your screen is called docking. Press down on the toolbar title strip and slowly drag the toolbar to the top of the screen until the toolbar appears to jump.
Letting go of the mouse button docks the toolbar to the top of the screen as shown in the following image. Practice this by docking various toolbars to your screen. To prevent docking, press the CTRL key as you drag the toolbar. This allows you to move the toolbar into the upper or lower portions of the display screen without the toolbar docking. Also, if a toolbar appears to disappear, it might actually be alongside or below toolbars that already exist.
Closing toolbars will assist in finding the missing one. To accomplish this, click on the arrow at the end of the Quick Access Toolbar and pick Show Menu Bar, as shown in the following image on the left.
Pick one of the names from the list to show the toolbar on the display screen. This button allows you to minimize the Ribbon and display more of your screen. Illustrated in the following image on the left is the Drawing Units dialog box, which will be discussed in Chapter 2. Illustrated in the following image on the right is the Hatch Pattern Palette. This palette provides an icon menu that makes it easy to choose the desired hatch pattern.
Simply select the pattern by reviewing the small images icons and click it. Palettes are similar to dialog boxes with the exception that palettes allow for the display of small images. Certain dialog boxes can be increased in size by moving your cursor over their borders. When two arrows appear, hold down the pick button of the mouse the left button and stretch the dialog box in that direction.
If the cursor is moved to the corner of the dialog box, the box is stretched in two directions. These methods can also be used to make the dialog box smaller, although there is a default size for the dialog boxes, which limits smaller sizes. The dialog box cannot be stretched if no arrows appear when you move your cursor over the border of the dialog box.
Use these tabs to access the more popular drawing and modify commands. While this image shows three palettes, in reality only one will be present on your screen at any one time. Simply click a different tab to display the commands associated with the tab.
Clicking the right mouse button activates a shortcut menu that provides access to these commands. The Default shortcut menu is illustrated in the following image on the left. It is displayed whenever you right-click in the drawing area and no command or selection set is in progress. Illustrated in the following image on the right is an example of the Edit shortcut menu.
This shortcut consists of numerous editing and selection commands. This menu activates whenever you right-click in the display screen with an object or group of objects selected but no command is in progress. This menu provides quick access to the Options dialog box, which is used to control various settings in AutoCAD.
Also, a record of the six most recent commands is kept, which allows the user to select from this group of previously used commands. Illustrated in the following image on the right is an example of a CommandMode shortcut menu. When you enter a command and right-click, this menu displays options of the command.
This menu supports a number of commands. This practice is popular for users who are already familiar with the commands. However, users must know the Copyright Cengage Learning, Inc. To assist with the entry of AutoCAD commands from the keyboard, numerous commands are available in shortened form, referred to as aliases.
These command aliases are listed throughout this book. The Editor displays all of the commands that have their names shortened. Learning keyboard command aliases provide a fast and efficient method of activating AutoCAD commands. This dialog box provides a list of templates to use for starting a new drawing. Listed in the field area are all files that match the type shown at the bottom of the dialog box.
