CAD 1 Flashcards
Erases the selected object from the drawing. Can also be activated by pressing the delete key on the keyboard.
Erase
Copies the selected object from one point on the drawing to one or more locations. The user defines two points and the object is copied using these two positions as base points.
Copy
Creates a mirror image of the selected object. The user defines two points, along which autocad generates a “line of reflection” and the reflected object is generated across this line with all components reversed. The user is then asked if they want to keep or delete the original.
Mirror
is like a copy but is more precise and must be used for certain situations as the result is likely to be slightly bigger or smaller than the original.
offset
allows you to simply define how far away and on which side you would like the copy to be made, and AutoCAD will take it from there. Shortcut “o”
offset
is a quick way of doing a lot of copying, as long as all the copies are arranged in a simplistic way.
array
two types of array
polar and grid
Works exactly the same as the copy command except the original is deleted.
Move
The user selects the object(s) to be rotated, a centre point, and defines the number of degrees to revolve through.
rotate
The object(s) are selected, and a basic point and scaling factor are defined.
scale
Creates a symbol on the drawing that is tied to a specific point.
point
A line with a defined starting point with infinite length at a specified slope, the command for which is “RAY” and then you need to give the specifications.
ray
An infinite line with no start or end point at a specified slope. Base point can be snapped with middle point snap mode
Xline
is made of numerous lines/arcs/or both segmented together into one selectable object
polyline
are regular, multisided shapes such as pentagons, hexagons etc
polygon
