ENGT 122 – CAD I Chapter 3 – Draw Commands
Outline Chapter 3 – Draw Commands • Drawing Arcs • Drawing Rectangles • Drawing Ellipses • Drawing Polygons • Drawing Polylines • Drawing Points
Center Angle Drawing Arcs • Arc (A portion of a circle) - There are 11 8 different methods for creating an arc. We will explore 6. Each involves various combinations of the following inputs; • Start Point • End Point • Intermediate Point • Center Point • Radius • Angle Start End Center Radius Interm. • Why so many options? • How do you know which is the start point and which is the end point?
Drawing Arcs • Arc commands issued from Command line and Toolbar are identical. Both require interactive data input and option selection using the keyboard. • For Arc command issued from ribbon menu options are pre-selected. Input data is input sequentially according to the prompts no additional option selection is required.
P1 P3 P2 P2 P1 P3 Drawing Arcs 3-Point (default method) • Input: Start Point, Intermediate Point, End Point. *Note: arc direction determined by 2nd point. May go CW or CCW.
