Technical Drawing using AutoCAD
The 11 Standards in this subsection are intended to enable students to learn about the graphic AutoCAD environment. The standards will allow students to develop familiarity with basic entity creation and modification, entity properties, layers, blocks, layouts, and template files.
AutoCAD: 1 Navigate the AutoCAD graphic environment, zoom and pan to view objects
AutoCAD: 2 Use the command window, use the help system, and explore environment settings and function keys
AutoCAD: 3 Configure fundamental drawing settings and options such as scale, grid, Snap, Object Snap, file paths, and display colors
AutoCAD: 4 Create basic AutoCAD objects such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and polygons using menus, palettes, keyboard commands, mouse controls, coordinates, and
object snaps
AutoCAD: 5 Modify AutoCAD objects using multiple techniques including grip editing and object properties
AutoCAD: 6 Identify user layers to control object display
AutoCAD: 7 Navigate and view objects in 3D and create reusable blocks
AutoCAD: 8 Use externally-referenced drawings in the current drawing
AutoCAD: 9 Draw objects in paper space (layouts) and configure one or more viewports in a layout
AutoCAD: 10 Create a properly formatted layout with required map elements such as a title block, north arrow, border, and scale
AutoCAD: 11 Configure the page setup and plot layouts to an engineering scale
Knowledge
1. Identify files containing standard AutoCAD setting, layer definitions, line types and symbols
2. Identity space layout definitions
3. Explain and construct dimension styles and text style definitions
4. Identify and edit objects by dragging it with the pointing device instead of entering commands
5. Explain why a snap grid does not necessarily correspond to the invisible grid
6. Identify layers to organize drawing data
7. Define implied windowing and its processes
8. Explain the importance of paper spaces for creating a finished layout for printing or plotting
9. Explain the process for drafting or designing
10. Identify placement of a geometric model
11. Explain processes necessary for final layout of specific views and annotations of a model
Skills
1. Navigate the AutoCAD Graphics Environment
