MODIFYING THE OBJECTS
We can easily modify the size and location of Objects by using AutoCAD commands. We can erase, move and rotate the selected Objects. We can create duplicate of Objects by using copy,Array , offset and mirror commands. We can change the size of Objects by using commands like Trim, Extend,lengthen, stretch,scale etc.
ZOOMING
Zooming features can be magnifying for close view of the Object.
LAYERING
Various parts of a model can be drawn on different layers. These layers can be superimposed to get the required drawing.
DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCE ROUTINES
Quick dimensions features, tolerance features are available in AutoCAD software. By using this feature, the dimensioning of models can be done easily and quickly in different ways. We can add tolerance to the models.
HATCHING
We can use this feature to fill area of a drawing with a predefined pattern. This pattern is used to differentiate the components of an object.It is also possible to create our own hatch pattern.
3D MODELING
AutoCAD supports 3D modeling such as wireframe,surface and solid modeling. Each type has its own creating and editing techniques.
VIEWPORT MANAGEMENT
This facility provides splitting of drawing area into two (or) more areas and display different view of the models.
RENDERING
By using this feature,we can add lighting and materials to the 3D models and gives photo realistic effect.
PLOTTING THE DRAWING
Printing the drawing on any size of paper as appears in the screen.
