CIV 102 – Computer Aided Design SECTION # 51
Make a new file with file name as your id (for ex. 800****_Assgn01.dwg). Set the LIMITS of this file as (0,0) and (12,9)
with GRID spacing of 0.25 and a SNAP setting of 0.25 to move efficiently on grids. Draw a border to your drawing
space using RECTANGLE command. The first corner point of rectangle shall be 0,0 while the other corner point shall
be 12,9.
Draw the below entities (with suggested commands) following the grid spacing as shown.
Q1. The object needs to be drawn using POLYLINE (PLINE) command, starting from 1,1 ending at 3,1 (starting and
ending width of 0.15). Pline continues but width changes to 0.1 for a length of 1 unit (next end point is 4,1 and 4,3
respectively). Pline again changes its width to 0 (both start and ending width) for a length of 4 units (next end point is
1,3). Pline changes its width to 0.15 and use CLOSE option to close it at 1, 1.
Q2. The object needs to be drawn using POLYLINE (PLINE) command. It has a starting and ending width of 0.02.
Dimensioning of object is carried out using LINEAR; CONTINUE (a) and BASELINE (b) options of DIMENSION
command as shown.
Q3. The object is drawn using LINE command. The dimensioning of object is carried out using ANGULAR option of
DIMENSION command.
Q4. The object can be started with a bigger CIRCLE on left side with CENTER and RADIUS option (note R=1). The
smaller circle is to be OFFSET with a distance of 0.5 inside it. The other circle (shown partially on right side with a
diameter of 1) shall be drawn next. Note the lines connecting these circles one on top and other at the bottom of the
object are drawn using LINE command from tan to tan of circles.
Q5. Question demonstrates usage of POLAR ARRAY and MIRROR command. Start with the CIRCLE in the center
and vertical LINE originating from CENTER of CIRCLE. Try using FILLET command with RADIUS of fillet as 0.25 and
ARC with option of start, end and radius as given.
Q6. One of the squares (bottom left) is drawn using EDGE option of POLYGON command. Others are drawn using
RECTANGULAR ARRAY with column and row spacing as 0.5. Note the row and column spacing is calculated from
the start point of the source object.
Q7. Two lines AB and BC and an arc with center ‘c’ are existing entities. Draw them using LINE and ARC command.
The other lines are drawn using various OSNAP (object snap) settings like END (endpoint), MID (midpoint), PER
(perpendicular), TAN (tangent) as shown.
