Important Tools in AutoCAD 2D

 

AutoCAD is a computer-aided software which mainly being used in engineering fields. It has got two parts which are 2D and 3D. Architects, civil engineers, mechanical designers, electrical designers, etc. are some of the common professions which use this software. So, if you are looking to start career in one of these professions then you join a professional AutoCAD training institute is one of the first things to do for you. In this blog, we will get to know about some very important tools of AutoCAD that every user should learn properly as these tools are the main assets to create any kind of drawing this drafting software.

Important AutoCAD Tools to Learn

1. Line – L + enter

2. Rectangle – Rec + enter

3. Polyline – Pl + enter

4. Offset – off + enter

5. Circle – C + enter

6. Move – M + enter

7. Copy – Co + enter

8. Trim – Tr + enter

9. Rotate – Ro + enter

10. Extend – Ext + enter

11. Let’s talk about these tools in details.

        1. Line: It comes from draw panel and helps in the creation of simple lines. Use orthomode to create straight lines at 90, 180 and 0 degrees.

        2. Polyline: It works similar to line but makes a complete polygon.

        3. Rectangle: If you want to create squares or rectangles then you need apply rec + enter command to use this tool.

        4. Offset: It creates copies at a specific position and is one of the most useful tools when it comes to 2D drawing.

        5. Circle: Circles are always important and you can apply C+ enter command to create circles. Check draw panel to select different types of circles like Tan Tan Radius circle.

        6. Move: You can use Move command to move any select object. You can also create copy of moved object using this.

        7. Copy: For proper copy making at a specific position, use Co + enter command.

        8. Trim: Trim helps in removing interesting areas very quickly in the drawing.

        9. Rotate: Use rotate command and move your selected objects.

       10. Extend: Lastly, we have extend command which helps you in extending the objects length.

 So, these are some of the most important tools of 2D section of AutoCAD.

If you are willing to learn this CAD software at an advanced level then this is recommended to join a certified AutoCAD course from a reputed training institute near you.
