6. INITIAL SETTINGS IN AUTOCAD

Initial Settings and Layout UCS Icons In AutoCAD

After running AutoCAD, You can start to change some settings. Besides STARTUP settings at startup can be defined as follows:

2D UCS icon in AutoCAD

In any respect we draw the line 2D or 3D and can be adjusted accordingly and display the UCS icon on your desktop. View => Display => UCS Icon => Properties

3D UCS icon in AutoCAD



In what format will save the finished drawing (an older version of Autocad)? How often will create AutoCAD *. BAK file (backup) in case of problems with the computer and power supply.
Options settings in AutoCAD
Tools => Options


What size mouse pointer will be? What color is your desktop? etc etc...


The size of the line for the mouse pointer (Crosshair size) should not be changed unless you're dealing with surveying, then it is advisable to set it at 100%. Why? I have no idea as I saw that surveyors work ;-), and probably has a purpose that can see a certain point in the line of the cursor while drawing lines and the like. In this dialog box has more settings you can change, but it leaves you to explore. Yet this is the only web for education BASIS. (for the beginner)

Also set the parameters of units (units) where you draw the drawing. FORMAT => UNITS. AutoCAD is used as a measuring parameter "UNITS" and setting the settings. I choose whether to be millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, etc. ... In mechanical engineering using millimeters, centimeters and building surveying meters. So this is important because of the plotting (printing on paper) and scale that is set to end.

15-13a. AutoCAD Export Coordinates Points to CSV

Image
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 ...
