Autocad Project.docx

PROJECT REPORT MODEL : LOCK In this project the model is "LOCK" to draw the 2D and 3D views of it.I have drawn the Orthographic projections and Isometric projections. In Orthographic Front view, Topview ,side view are drawn in Autocad . Isometric view also drawn in Autocad

Procedure: I have taken Lock and measured the dimensions of length,breadth and height and also the required dimensions with the help of instruments. After I started drawing in Autocad.while doing in Autocad we have to keep the settings to draw .we have to see that otho, osnap, lineweight commands should be 'ON' and Grid should be ‘OFF’ before drawing.

Dimensions to draw views of Lock: Front view : Length-60mm,Height-93mm Top view : Length-60mm,Breadth-10mm Side view : Length-10mm,Height-93mm

Note: For Front view and Top view Length is common.For Top view and side view Breadth is common.For Front view and side view Height is common.

Commands Used While drawing Orthographic : While drawing the views in Autocad I used some commands.  To draw a line we used Line command .  To draw a circle we used Circle command .  To remove extra lines we used Trim command.  To keep the dimensions we used the Dimension command • In dimension we used the Linear dimension line label the horizontal or vertical distance between two points. • An aligned dimension will label the true distance between two points •

For the radius and diameter we used Radius and

Diameter dimension line.

Commands Used While drawing Isometric:

While drawing the views in Autocad I used some commands.  Before drawing we have to ‘ON’ the Isometric command .  AutoCAD has a command called ISOPLANE which allows you to easily draw at a 30 degree angle as needed for an isometric drawing. You can switch between the three 'isoplanes' (top, right, left) by using this command or by pressing the F5 key.  To draw a line we used Line command.  To draw a semicircles we used Isocircle command.  To remove extra lines we used Trim command.

Future scope: AutoCAD has a great future ahead due to the plethora of features in offers and the upcoming updates that

Autodesk provide empowering the software tools used worldwide. In the near future, AutoCAD will remain to serve the same purpose with enhanced features and user interface and thus, will remain as the top software for drawing and drafting. AutoCAD has a future, and there is one word to describe it: "aggressive." * Aggressive in modifying its user interface. * Aggressive in locking AutoCAD users into Autodesk products. * Aggressive in taking on competitors.

Conclusion: To conclude, We have drawn the views andhave used many commands while driawing. Practice a lot with the commands you have learned. according to your preferences and needs, you can draw in Autocad just about anything. When you start the designs calculate from the outset the scale factor with which they print, and scale the size of the template, the text and basic dimensions in according to this and the paper size you wish to use. Attempts to draw the tables that are easy to understand and generally follow the rules that use hand drawing. Please note that AutoCAD is only a tool, we can compare it to know how to use the pencil and set squares, and clearly does not draw on its own. I hope to have transmitted the use of basic commands, through the combination of which will acquire the ability to put into digital form (that in the case of CAD drawing is called "vectorial" format ), what in theory would be able to draw on paper, but using the advantages that the

use of the computer makes available to us. From this starting point, you can deepen more the potential of Autocad and manage even very complex designs, and then perhaps move to 3D design and three-dimensional graphics. Submitted by R.NAGALAKSHMI
