AutoCAD 2012 - Lesson 2 - Drawing Display & Views
This lesson will give you practice in using display tools such and ZOOM and PAN to navigate large drawings and to control your view of objects. Understanding of display and navigation tools are an essitntal skill when drawing in AutoCAD and access to these tools are found in many places in the user interface as well as being available from your standard three button Wheel Mouse.
Learning Objectives:
When you have completed this lesson, you will be able to:
Identify the display tool icons that are located in the Drawing Window and turn them on and off.
Use the Zoom and Pan commands to change the display of 2D objects in the AutoCAD Drawing Window.
Use the wheel mouse to control the Zoom and Pan commands while drawing in AutoCAD.
Use the REGEN and REGENALL commands to recalculate the objects in the drawing display in AutoCAD.
Use the Command Line to create line segments and closed object in AutoCAD.
Download a drawing file from the lesson and save it to your computer.
Open and view and architectural drawing and view using ZOOM and PAN on your mouse.
Connect the numbers in the dots presented in the drawing to create an object. Use ZOOM and PAN transparently with your line command.

AutoCAD 2012 - Lesson 3 - Drawing Setup & File Management
This lesson will give you practice in starting a new drawing in AutoCAD. You can start a drawing "from scratch", using the default acad.dwt template file or you can create a custom template file that contains some saved setting and layouts to make the make the drawing setup process faster and more consistent. When you finish this lesson, you will have created a custom template file of your own that you can use for creating drawing in furture lessons.
Learning Objectives:
When you have completed this lesson, you will be able to:
Start a new drawing using the AutoCAD Default acad.dwt template file.
Save a drawing that was started from a template using the SAVE AS dialog box in AutoCAD.
Set the drawing units using the Drawing Units Dialog Bo and draw lines in decimal, fractional and Architectural units.
Set the drawing limits in Model Space using the LIMITS command.
Download a basic template drawing file from the class website. Examine the template and edit the setting. Save the file again as template (.dwt) file to use to start new drawings.

AutoCAD 2012 - Lesson 4 - AutoCAD Drawing Workflow
This lesson will walk you through the basic workflow of creating a drawing using AutoCAD. The steps include starting a drawing from a template, setting the units and limits for the specific object that will be drawn. Drawing the object and adding dimensions. Modifying the object using our model space editing tools and finally, setting up the layout for printing the drawing.
Learning Objectives:
When you have completed this lesson, you will be able to:
Use a saved template to start a new drawing and save it.
Set the Drawing Units for the object in Model Space.
Set the Drawing Limits needed for the size of the object to be drawn.
Draw the assigned object in Model Space using draw tools.
Add dimensions to the object in Model Space using tools on the Annotate Panel.
Use Modify Tools to edit the object in Model Space.
Scale and center the object in the Layout ViewPort window. Edit the Title Block text to correct values.

AutoCAD 2012 - Lesson 5 - Understanding Coordinate Entry
This lesson will give you practice drawing in AutoCAD using a variety of methods for entering precise data. First you will review of the Cartesian Coordinate system that is the underlying system of recording data in AutoCAD. Next, you will learn how to enter data using Absolute Coordinates, Relative Coordinates and Relative Polar Coordinates. Using this information, you will complete to project Drawing to practice applying these drawing methods.
Learning Objectives:
When you have completed this lesson, you will be able to:
Explain how the Cartesian Coordinate system relates to the coordinate system used by AutoCAD.
Use Absolute Coordinate values to enter point locations in AutoCAD.
Draw a assigned object in AutoCAD by entering the Absolute Coordinate values of the endpoint of each line.
Use Relative Coordinate values to enter point locations in AutoCAD.
Explain the default Polar system used by AutoCAD for measuring and drawing angles.
Use Relative Polar Entry to input point locations. This includes input of both a distant and angle to designate a point relative to a current location.
Explain the relationship of the WCS icon (World Coordinate System) to the AutoCAD coordinate system. Explain the difference between the WCS and the UCS (User Coordinate System).
Draw an assigned object by entering the Relative Polar Coordinates for all of the lines.
