AutoCAD 2D_I Module 2: Geometric Constructions
Module Objectives: • Draw and bisect a straight line using a compass. • Draw and divide a straight line into any number of equal parts using • a compass. • Bisect any angle between two straight lines without the aid of a protractor. • Construct a hexagon given the length of one side. • Construct a tangent to a point on a circle. • Construct a common tangent to two circle. • Construct radii to blend with curves and straight lines.
Introduction “Construction" in Geometry means to draw shapes, angles or lines accurately. These constructions use mainly compass, straightedge (i.e. ruler) and a pencil. This is the "pure" form of geometric construction where no numbers are involved. While drawing these constructions, you need to use a sharp medium-hard lead (H to 3H). Draw construction lines extremely light and all main lines medium to thin but dark.
