AutoCAD is undoubtedly the most widely used CAD tool in the engineering and architectural circles. AutoCAD has simplified the process of creating engineering drawings and it lets you save your precious time hence enhancing the productivity to a great degree. In this tutorial you will learn how to draw a tap symbol in AutoCAD. You can also learn about How to Add Chamfer in AutoCAD.

For drawin a tap symbol in AutoCAD you need to follow these simple steps

• 1^st of all you need to open a new drawing and for that you need to click on New.
• You need to make sure that ORTHO mode is ON. (It will be ON when it glow in blue, OFF in grey.)
• Type z[spacebar], type e [spacebar] and it will zoom extents you drawing area.
• Now you need to make sure that Layer 0 has been selected as current layer.
• Now click on CIRCLE and type 0,0 and press Enter in order to set the center of the circle.
• Now set the radius of the circle to 0.125 and type 0.125 and press Enter.
• Now click on OFFSET and set the offset distance to 0.025 and click at the circle as offset object.
• Now click on the insode of the circle in order to define the offset side.
• Press Esc few times in order to end OFFSET command.
• Now click on the outer circle edge and then change the layer to HIDDEN layer and press Esc few times.
• Now change the current layer to CENTER LINE layer.
• From the ribbon tool click Annotate>DImensions>Center mark.
• Now click on outer edge of any circle for marking its center.
• Now click Home>Scale.
• Select the center mark cross.
• Now press Enter in order to confirm selection.
• Click on midpoint of the cross as scale base point.
• Now you need to set scale factor to 4 and for that you need to type 4 and press Enter.
• With this you will finish creating a tap.

AutoCAD is a must have tool for the engineers as well as architect for creating engineering drawings and architectural designs. The productivuity of industries have enhanced greatly after the advent of AutoCAD as it has simplified the process of creating engineering drawings. IN this lecture you will learn how to add chamfer in your drawing. You can also learn How to Create a Slot in AutoCAD.

For adding a chamfer into your drawing you ned to follow these simple steps.

• 1^st of all you need to open a new drawing and for that you need to click New.
• You need to make sure that ORTHO mode is ON. It will be ON when it glow in blue.
• Now type z [spacebar], e [spacebar]. This will zoom extend your drawing area.
• Now is the time to click on RECTANGLE tool for activating the Rectangle command.
• Now specify the 1^st corner of the rectangle at 0,0 and for that you need to type 0,0 and press Enter.
• Move the cursor to the right side and specify the other corner point at 10,6 and for that you need type 10,6 and then press Enter.
• Now you need to click on CHAMFER from the ribbon tools.
• Once the CHAMFER command is executed you need to specify the distance 1 as well as distance 2 of the chamfer.
• For this tutorials lets have a chamfer distance of 2 so you need to specify chanfer distance to 2 or 2@45deg chamfer. Type D and the enter dist1=2 and dist2=2.
• Now click on the 1^st edge of the chamfer.
• Click on 2^nd edge of the chamfer.
• Press Enter for confirming the chamfer.

AutoCAD is a handy CAD application that is considered as the must have application for the engineers and architects. AutoCAD has enhanced the productivity of many engineering processes. Lots of your precious time will be saved by using this application. In this tutorial you will learn how to draw a slot. You can also learn about Finding and Replacing Words in MS PowerPoint 2016.

For drawing a slot in AutoCAD you need to follow these steps.

• 1^st of all you need to open a new drawing and for that you need to click New.
• You need to make sure that ORTHO mode is ON. It will be ON when it glow in blue.

• Click on the Copy option for copying this circle 3 units apart.
• Select the circle as object to copy and then press Enter.
• Now specify the base point of the copy and in this tutorial the base point is the center of 1^st circle. Click on the center.
• Now move your cursor to the right side and then type 3 and press Enter.
• Now press Esc few times for ending the copy command.
• Now select the Line tool from the ribbon menu.
• Now snap the 1^st point of the line at the top quadrant of 1^st circle and then 2^nd point of the line at top quadrant of the 2^nd circle.
• Now press Esc few times in order to end the LINE command.
• Select the LINE command once again for drawing the bottom line of the slot.
• Press Esc few times to end LINE command.
• Now click on TRIM tool.
