ABSTRACT: -

The Word AutoCAD is made up of two words "Auto(logo of company)" and CAD "(computer aided
design)".

AutoCAD is 2D and 3D modeling software.

It is developed by Autodesk company.

Autodesk is an U.S.A based company.

It is widely used in industry for 2D drawing and 3D modeling.

In another way we can say that AutoCAD is a designing course, which is performed by the help of
computer.
INTRODUCTION TO FLOOR PLAN:-
Floor plans are scale drawings that show the relationship between rooms, spaces and physical features
viewed from above.

They provide a way to visualize how people will move through the space.

Floor plans makes it easier to check if the space is suitable for its intended purpose, work through any
potential challenges and redesign before moving forward into more elaborate planning or building
stages.

Floor plans show the big picture of living, work, and outdoor spaces.

Although they should be scale drawings, floor plans don’t hold enough information for builders to
actually construct a home or other structure.

Instead, a floor plan is essentially a simple diagram showing room layout and offering a conceptual
starting point.

INTERIOR DESIGN:-
The art or practice of planning and supervising the design and execution of architectural interiors and
their furnishings.

Interior designers are expected to have working knowledge of

 Tiles, materials, color, space planning, sustainability, and more

 Software applications for 2D & 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and building
Texinformation modeling (BIM)
 Structural requirements, health and safety issues, and building codes.
AUTOCAD 2D :-
Launching AutoCAD from operating System:-
• Click on Start.
• Go to Programs
• Go to Auto Desk
• Go to Auto CAD 2012- English
• Click on Auto CAD 2012- English.
Using your pointing device:-
One of the key means of controlling commands & inputting information into your
drawing file will be by using your mouse.
Using three button mouse:-
• Left button: data / accept – used to select command & enter points.
• Middle button: It is used as Pan and scroll zooming
• Right button: Reset / reject / repeat last command – used to end a command or to
display
o a small pull down menu or to repeat last command.
• Using the Key boards.
• Typing Command name is “command line”. Can run all the commands in auto CAD.
• Enter button and Space bar can be used to accept a command or repeat last command.
• The Function Keys can be used as toggle buttons to switch ON/ OFF for some of
functions. The Important ones are
Function key Function:-
F1 Help on
F2 Toggle text windows
F3 Toggle object snap setting
F4 3D o snap on/off
F5 Isoplane Top / Left/ Right
F6 Dynamic UCS off/ on
F7 Toggle Grid points
F8 Ortho on/off
F9 Toggle Snap on/off
F10 Toggle Polar on
F11 Object snap tracking off
F12 Dynamic on/off
User coordinate system:-
You can enter pts directly on the command line using 3 different systems. The one you
use is depend on which is more applicable for the situation. The first assignment will get you
used to this the 3 systems are as follows.
a. Absolute Coordinate system (x, y)
b. Relative rectangular Coordinate system @ (x, y)
c. Relative Polar Coordinate system : You would use this System if you know that you
want to draw a line a certain distance at a _ Lar Angle. We would enter this as at D
<
A. In This case D is the distance and A is the angle.
Example: At 10 Angle 900 ( 10 < 90)
