AutoCAD 2004. One Step at a Time (Part 1)

Overview

Following this lesson, you will:

• Know how to draw:

  • Circles

  • Ellipses

  • Arcs

  • Polygons

• Have mastered most of AutoCAD's basic 2-dimensional drawing commands!

By now, you must have tired of drawing lines and rectangles. After all, back at the beginning of the second lesson, we discussed lines and circles as the foundation for drawing geometric shapes. How about those circles?

In this lesson, we'll look at drawing not only circles, but arcs and ellipses as well. We'll also expand our multisided geometry from simple rectangles to include those -gons, collectively known as polygons.

Let's proceed.
