15-5. AutoCAD Drawing POLYGON With the Mouse

How to draw a Polygon using a Mouse in AutoCAD step by step

Command entry Draw Polygon

POLYGON command can draw polygons (3 angles of up to 1024 angle)

What is a polygon in AutoCAD?
It is a polygon whose pages all the same length and angles are equal.  Given that this clarification to work with a mouse I will describe this method.
Begin to draw polygons by clicking on command button on the toolbar Polygon Draw or with a text menu, select DRAW => POLYGON. And also we can command line prompt enter the command "POLYGON"

After running AutoCAD commands required to enter the number of angles of polygons (number of edge sites) that we want to draw.
He then asks to click the mouse to the point where will be the center of polygons, and after that click is required to enter sub-command abbreviation (if we want to polygon with a circle inscribed or described). And then click the mouse to the point where we want to set a tangent circle. Please note that this circle is not visible when you draw and none after the drawing.
In the penultimate step before the final click, we can enter the Command Line RADIUS circle.



- Command: _polygon Enter number of sides <4>: 5 [number of desired angles / page]
- Specify center of polygon or [Edge]: [click your mouse to the point that the location on a drawing where we want to set the polygon center]
- Enter an option [in circle inscribed/circumscribed about circle] <I>: I [write the letter I (i) or just confirm the Enter key, which means that the circle inscribed in a polygon, if you type the letter C (c), then draw a polygon with the circumcircle at the tops]
- Specify radius of circle: [click your mouse to where we want to finish top of the page or polygon]

Here note that when you draw a polygon can bind to any of the OSNAP points if you actively function button OSNAP mod. Also pay attention to the function button for ORTHO mode. If he is involved you do not have a great possibility of rotation of polygons, then turn it off if you have the option of rotating the polygon as desired. 
This also applies to everything I said about the function button for the POLAR mode. If you can follow it on the angle that will place the top of the polygon. You can draw a polygon with a number of angles that define the beginning of the drawing.

When you then selects Polygon GRIPS and the drawings that you draw by using the Polyline command.

When you want to tie a line at the test site then you have a connecting point on the lines of the polygon (Endpoint and Midpoint, Tangent, etc.) Of course, if you include them in the settings OSNAP.

If you prefer, you can break the test site on a number of independent lines (as if you've drawn the line command), then you use the button to the toolbar EXPLODE MODIFY.
After breaking polygons each line separately, you can transform.

If you want to reconstruct the drawn polygon and use it as a 3D body then you need to first convert the polygon drawn in one region or surface. (This is done by command REGION) with the DRAW toolbar. But more about this see the link command REGION in AutoCAD.

If you want to measure some distance in a polygon to use for the INQUIRY command.

15-13a. AutoCAD Export Coordinates Points to CSV

How to Export Coordinates of Points Using LISP to AutoCAD Since this web tutorial is intended for beginners, here I will describe how to export Coordinates for specific points in the drawing. Take for example that the drawings have points that are set to specific coordinates (this is quite used in geodesy, but mostly  MAP CAD programs  and some already have built-in  LISP  Export programs). In the picture below, notice that I have created several points on the desktop. Note that with the cursor I have an extra cloud with the coordinate position if I click on the position where the cursor is currently located. (this cloud can be switched on/off at the  DYN  button (dynamic input) How to use LISP? To use this option ( export coordinates to CSV file ), a file that has the extension ' * .lsp ' is used. This so-called scripted code needs to be copied to the "some" folder. Usually this is the  AutoCAD folder  that contains other files with...

24d. Plot in Color Thickness Lines

Image
How to Plot in Color and Thickness of Lines on printed paper in AutoCAD. If you probably have a problem with the  Thickness Line  (not to say the width of the line because some use this expression) on the drawing or the  Color Line  on the drawing. If you are asking any of the following questions: Why are all the lines of the same thickness? How to change the thickness of the line on the drawing we print to the printer (plotting on the plotter)? AutoCAD does not print Color on the drawing? Why these questions? Well there is reason. Print black and white drawings are done over pre-prepared  CTB file  (also in color). To have the lines do not look like a toe, you need to experiment with the thickness of the line. If you want to print a drawing Floor plan of a building and you want to distinguish it from outer walls of interior, portions of drawings that display windows, doors and the like. Then you will set different line thicknesses in the...

24c. Ucsfollow Command Rotate Drawing

Rotating Drawing MODEL in AutoCAD - Ucsfollow Command In the previous tutorial, I showed how to  Rotate the drawing within the Constituent/Component . Here is the possibility of Rotating the other way when Plotting Drawings. This method of Rotating images in Layout Model when plotting is often used in geodesy at plotting KCBR (particles) that copies of the cadastral plan, if the particles are bigger in size than A4 paper and can't fit into the framework of Model Layout. (eg, a plan was drawn at a scale of 1:2000 and we have plot on A4 paper, and " Plot scale " scale 1:1, in fact, we print it on paper dimensions are in scale 1:2000) That they would not plot on tracing paper A3 sometimes it is enough to rotate a drawing that plan and the rotation of the entire plan, a particle can be placed within the model. When rotating the drawing in  Layout Model/Paper  should bear in mind that the drawing in our real model does not rotate, no matter what we rotate conducted within ...
