how to use hatch command in autocadHatch or Fill an Object or an AreaClick Home tabDraw panelHatch.  FindNote: The Hatch Creation ribbon tab displays once the hatch command is active.On the Hatch Creation tab > Properties panel > Hatch Type list, select the type of hatch that you want to use.On the Pattern panel, click a hatch pattern or fill.On the Boundaries panel, specify the how the pattern boundary is selected:Pick Points. Inserts the hatch or fill within a closed area that is bounded by one or more objects. With this method, you click within the boundaries to specify the area.Select Boundary Objects. Inserts the hatch or fill within a closed object, such as a circle, closed polyline, or a set of objects with endpoints that touch and enclose an area.The selection method is retained until you change it.Click an area or object to be hatched.On the ribbon, make any adjustments as needed:On the Properties panel, you can change the hatch type and colors or modify the transparency level, angle, or scale for the hatch.On the expanded Options panel, you can change the draw order to specify whether the hatch and its boundary are displayed in front of or behind other objects.Press Enter to apply the hatch and exit the command.Note: Enclosed areas can be hatched only if they are in a plane parallel to the XY plane of the current UCS.Hatch or Fill a Large Number of Closed ObjectsUse a window, crossing, or fence selection method to select all the closed objects to hatch or fill.Alternatively, select a closed object, right-click, and choose Select Similar from the shortcut menu.Start the Hatch (or -Hatch) command and choose any options or settings.If necessary, specify the Select Objects option.At the prompt, enter p (Previous) and press Enter.The objects in the previous selection set are hatched or filled.Separate Hatch ObjectsBy default, when you apply a hatch to multiple areas within one command, the result is a single hatch object. If you need to change the properties of one area or remove an area, you need to separate the hatch objects.Click on the hatch. Notice that wherever you click on the hatch, it acts as one object with a single grip.Note: The Hatch Editor ribbon tab displays as soon as you select the hatch object.On the Hatch Editor ribbon, expand the Options panel and select Separate Hatches.The result is that each hatch area is now its own hatch object and can be edited or removed separately.Note: Once a hatch is separated it can't be combined back into a single hatch object.

how to use Arc command in autocad
how to use Arc command in autocad
Creates an arc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8jug4ZNHwQ FindTo create an arc, you can specify combinations of center, endpoint, start point, radius, angle, chord length, and direction values. Arcs are drawn in a counterclockwise direction by default. Hold down the Ctrl key as you drag to draw in a clockwise direction.The following options are available.Start pointDraws an arc using three specified points on the arc's circumference. The first point is the start point (1).Note: If you press ENTER without specifying a point, the endpoint of the last drawn line or arc is used and you are immediately prompted to specify the endpoint of the new arc. This creates an arc tangent to the last drawn line, arc, or polyline.Second pointSpecify the second point (2) is a point on the circumference of the arc.End pointSpecify the final point (3) on the arc.You can specify a three-point arc either clockwise or counterclockwise.CenterStarts by specifying the center of the circle of which the arc is a part.Start pointSpecify the start point of the arc.End pointUsing the center point (2), draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an endpoint that falls on an imaginary ray drawn from the center point through the third point (3).The arc does not necessarily pass through this third point, as shown in the illustration.AngleDraws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) using a center point (2) with a specified included angle. If the angle is negative, a clockwise arc is drawn.Chord lengthDraws either a minor or a major arc based on the distance of a straight line between the start point and endpoint.If the chord length is positive, the minor arc is drawn counterclockwise from the start point. If the chord length is negative, the major arc is drawn counterclockwise.EndStarts by specifying the endpoint of the arc.Center pointDraws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an endpoint that falls on an imaginary ray drawn from the center point (3) through the second point specified (2).AngleDraws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an endpoint (2), with a specified included angle. If the angle is negative, a clockwise arc is drawn.Included angleEnter an angle in degrees or specify an angle by moving the pointing device counterclockwise.DirectionBegins the arc tangent to a specified direction. It creates any arc, major or minor, clockwise or counterclockwise, beginning with the start point (1), and ending at an endpoint (2). The direction is determined from the start point.RadiusDraws the minor arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to the endpoint (2). If the radius is negative, the major arc is drawn.CenterSpecifies the center of the circle of which the arc is a part.Start pointSpecify start point of arc.End pointDraws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an endpoint that falls on an imaginary ray drawn from the center point (2) through a specified point (3).AngleDraws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) using a center point (2) with a specified included angle. If the angle is negative, a clockwise arc is drawn.Chord lengthDraws either a minor or a major arc based on the distance of a straight line between the start point and endpoint.If the chord length is positive, the minor arc is drawn counterclockwise from the start point. If the chord length is negative, the major arc is drawn counterclockwise.Tangent to last line, arc, or polylineDraws an arc tangent to the last line, arc, or polyline drawn when you press ENTER at the first prompt.End point of arc

how to use circle command in autocad
The Circle Command gives you several ways to make circles. In this exercise, you'll see how to draw circles using the Center, Radius method, 2-Point method, Tan, Tan, Radius method, and finally Tan, Tan, Tan.The Circle Command1. To draw a circle, in the top Ribbon panel click on the Circle tool and start the Circle Command.2. Center, Radius is the default method for the circle tool. For our first circle, define the center point by typing in 22,13. (You could also click on a point to specify the center point.)3. After the center point has been set, the Diameter option will appear in the Command Line. Press D then Enter to choose the Diameter option.4. Type in a diameter of 3.73.5. Press Enter to repeat the Circle Command.6. Type in the center point of 10,4.7. The radius of the last circle will appear in the Command Line inside brackets. Press Enter to use the radius from the previous circle (`<`1.87`>`).8. Press Enter to repeat the Circle Command.9. In the Command Line, click on 2P to select the 2 Point method.NOTE: With the 2 Point (2P) method, you can click or enter two points that will establish a diameter for the circle. With the 3 Point (3P) method, click or enter three points to create a circle that will touch all three points.10. To draw the circle that sits at the top of the left rectangle, you'll need to specify the two diameter points so that the diameter of the circle matches the upper edge of the rectangle. Align the cursor with the top-left corner so that you see a green square appear, then click to specify the first point.11. Move the cursor to snap to the top-right corner of the rectangle. This should finish drawing a circle that matches the diameter of the rectangle.12. To create the circle in the bottom right of the shape, press Enter to repeat the Circle Command.13. You can also use tangents to define a circle. A tangent is the point at which a circle or curve touches another object. With the Tan, Tan, Radius (Ttr) method, click on any two objects for the circle to be touching, and then enter a radius.Let's see how this drawing method works. In the Ribbon menu, click on the arrow underneath the Circle tool to choose Tan, Tan, Radius (Ttr).NOTE: You can see these options in the Command Line, the Draw Menu, or the drop-down Circle Command menu in the Draw Panel on the Home Tab of the Ribbon.14. Click the bottom and lower right edges to select the tangents for the circle as shown in the diagram. You will see the tangent snap symbol will appear when the cursor touches the lines. Press Enter to repeat the radius of <2> to create the circle.With Tan, Tan, Tan, click on any three objects to create a circle that will touch all three objects. The Tan, Tan, Tan, option is only available in the Circle Command drop-down menu in the ribbon, and not in the command line.
