15-6. AutoCAD Drawing RECTANGLE With the Mouse

How to draw a rectangle using a mouse in AutoCAD step by step

Command entry rectangle in AutoCAD

In AutoCAD command RECTANGLE draw polygon that has four peripheral sites.

Drawing start by clicking the command button on the toolbar or DRAW (text menu => DRAW => RECTANGLE) or by typing commands in the Command Line prompt.

After launching the command. (Before the first mouse click on the desktop drawing)

Specify first corner point or [chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]:

What do these terms refer to the link toolbar MODIFY a part I will not explain because this is training for beginners.

After the first mouse click have the command line prompt:

Specify other corner point or [Area/Dimensions/Rotation]: R [Rotate rectangle]
Specify rotation angle or [Pick points] <0>: 45 [rotation]

Otherwise, draw a rectangle at an angle and can be a way to rotate the UCS and then horizontal rectangle will track the direction of axis X.

When drawing RECTANGLE rectangular drawing notice clause in the command line prompt.
It is important to know if you use one of the command RECTANGLE in AutoCAD remember that clause and the next time drawing with the same command RECTANGLE and AutoCAD will apply the properties of the previous drawing.
Explanation: If you are drawn to clause [width] the width of lines 5 and then the next drawing with the Rectangle beam line will be 5, to avoid this and draw the normal line is necessary to re-activate subcommand [width] and enter a zero (0) , and then continue to draw.



Nako finished drawing with the order we have a rectangle and a rectangle of a character's dimensions.
Here note, if you draw with Dimension subcommand after the first mouse click (ie setting the start point). AutoCAD you can enter dimensions of the rectangle.

Specify first corner point or [chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: [first mouse click]
Specify other corner point or [Dimensions]: D [activate subcommand Dimensions]
Specify length for rectangles <100.0000>: 300 [length of the rectangle (horizontal line, which is in fact looking at our wide screen monitor]
Specify width for rectangles <100.0000>: 120 [width of the rectangle (vertical line, which is in fact looking at the height of our monitor screen]
Specify other corner point or [Dimensions]: and finally click on the area of quadrants in which we place the rectangle.

Make sure to click the final rectangle locates in one of the quadrants of the coordinate system. Before that final click, we can move the mouse pointer per quadrant (relative to the first point of drawing that we have in this case the starting point) and when we are positioned in the quadrant of the rectangle as desired then click the final mouse click. (Do not accidentally press the ESC key to cancel because the AutoCAD drawing.) To know I'm talking about you know the coordinate system (see link Coordinate System in AutoCAD ).

 UCS and position on draw in AutoCAD

 How to positioning UCS out of draw in AutoCAD
Notice the pictures above position as a UCS and accommodation on the desktop. The first picture is a UCS associated with drawing because it is located (I did order ORIGIN) View => Display => UCS Icon => turned on Origin
On the second picture is the ORIGIN off.

How to set the UCS at an angle and draw on the basis of it (step-by-step)

First, by using the UCS-a (first button on the toolbar) Position a UCS-(ORTHO off)
Now you can try to draw a line (turn ORTHO) and you will see that the horizontal position of the UCS-track that you set.

How to draw a square or rectangle in AutoCAD?

On this page I mentioned to draw a rectangle connected with the position of the quadrants of the coordinate system is important because in the end (before the final click) to set the polygon in a particular quadrant.

REQUIRED! before drawing a rectangle to see which is the angle of rotation (if you have previously worked with him). Uncheck it to zero (0) if you want to track the position of a UCS. (You notice if you UCS in the starting position and the polygon line is angled so that you know that you change the angle of rotation of drawing polygons)
So while you have not clicked on the final click (or entered dimensions) determine quadrant (the direction of drawing a rectangle in the positioning of the quadrant of the coordinate system)

ATTENTION! Also, never use the word Width/Height as a 2D drawing no height (So, only the Length and Width )

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 ...
