How To Use AutoCAD ?

 Step-1:

Open AutoCAD. You'll find it in the Windows menu or your Mac's Applications folder. If you haven't already installed AutoCAD, visit https://www.autodesk.com to download and install it now.

 Step-2:

Go through the start screen. Whenever you open AutoCAD, you will see two tabs at the base: LEARN and CREATE (the default tab). Assuming you click on the LEARN tab, you will track down helpful recordings to begin your task. 

By clicking on the CREATE tab once more, you will track down the accompanying options: 

In the "Start" portion of AutoCAD on the left, you can pick Start Drawing to make another new drawing. 

To open an existing project chose the file open option, or click the Models menu to start from model 1. 

If there are recent AutoCAD documents to work with, they will be displayed in the Recent Documents section in the center of the screen.

If updates are available, they will be displayed in the Notifications area in the upper right corner. 

You can also log into your A360 account by clicking Login in the upper right corner.

Step-3:

Click Start Drawing or open a present Drawing file. If you need to begin a new project drawing from a template.

If you do not see the choice to do so, click on the File menu and pick New to create a new project drawing.

Step-4:

After opening a drawing, take time to familiarize yourself with the location of menus and tools:

The drawing area is part of the workspace with a grid background. In the Lower Right corner, there is one Setting⛭ tab: one is for the current design (which will have a name like "Design1") and the other can take you back to the start screen. If you open more than one design at the same time, each will have its tab above the drawing area.

The Y-axis appears in green on the left side of the canvas and the X-axis is the red line at the bottom.

The View cube is the square surrounded by a directional compass: you can use it to adjust your perspective when working in 3D.

The ribbon toolbar at the top above the drawing area contains tools in a series of tabs (Home, Insert, Annotate, etc.

 Click the View tab at the top to show and hide tools and functions in the work area.

The "Enter a command" area below allows you to enter commands and tool functions once you are familiar with the application.

Step-5:

Click the Home tab. It's on the top-left nook of AutoCAD. You'll see your drawing Modification Options in the "Draw" place at the left facet of the ribbon toolbar.

Hover your mouse over any of the toolbars in the ribbon and to know more about the toolbars options simply hold the cursor on it for a moment.

As you draw with any tool, you will see beneficial measurements close to the cursor, including period, parameter, and angle.

Step-6:

Set the default measurement formats. If you need to change how scale, length, or angle measurements display on the screen, specify the units in the command prompt and press Enter or Return to display the Drawing Units panel. For example, if you see measurements in microns and you need to see them in meters, you can make that change here whenever you want.

Step-7:

Before getting started with the project drawing the user needs to set the measurement units as well as the dimension units for the detailing of the drawing.

All you have to do is to type D then press the space or enter button to activate the command wherein a new dialog box appears that is dimension style manager.

To set the measurement units and other formats of the dimension style need to click on modify option of the dialogue box. Here the new dialogue box appears that contains all the modification information related to the format.
