Basics Of AutoCad

As I said in my previous Post , Autocad is a open platform, you can do any thing with  it.

Lets Start some basics of Autocad.

Fist line in autocad is main menu, in which all commands and tools are available, second line is toolbar lines, in which there are certain tool bars already set by default when you run the AutoCad, if you want to see the list of toolbars in AutoCad, then just right click anywhere in second line empty space, and show you a list of toolbars.

Cursor

Cursor is used to move in Autocad, just like windows, it helps you pick the tools, draw lines, and everything is done by the cursor.

Command Line

As I said Autocad is easy to use software you can use it by selecting the tools or by just type the commands in command line.

There are certain shortcuts for the commands, we discuss it later.

UCS

UCS is a coordinate system which show you the axes of work, weather you are working in two dimensional drawing or three dimensional.
