In this blog post, I'll guide you step-by-step to create this "N" shaped design in AutoCAD using lines and dimensions. It's a great practice for beginners to improve their drafting skills while learning precise commands!
Step-by-Step Guide to Create the "N" Shaped Design in AutoCAD
-
Set Up the Drawing Environment
- Open AutoCAD and ensure you're in the Drafting & Annotation workspace.
- Set your units:
- Use the
UN
command → Units: Decimal, Precision: 0.0.
- Use the
-
Start with a Horizontal Base
- Use the Line tool (
L
) to draw:- A horizontal line of 22 units at the bottom.
- Use the Line tool (
-
Create the Left Vertical Rectangle
- From the bottom left endpoint:
- Draw a vertical line of 30 units upward.
- Draw a horizontal line of 8 units to the right.
- Draw a vertical line of 18 units downward.
- Connect it back horizontally with 8 units to close the rectangle.
- From the bottom left endpoint:
-
Create the Top Horizontal Rectangle
- Move to the top of the vertical rectangle:
- Use the Line command to draw a horizontal line of 22 units to the right.
- Draw a vertical line of 8 units downward.
- Close the rectangle using the same steps.
- Move to the top of the vertical rectangle:
-
Create the Diagonal Line
- Use the Line tool to connect:
- The bottom right corner of the left rectangle → to the top left corner of the right rectangle.
- Use the Line tool to connect:
-
Complete the Right Rectangle
- From the endpoint of the diagonal line:
- Draw a vertical line of 18 units downward.
- Draw a horizontal line of 8 units to the right.
- Draw a vertical line of 30 units upward to close the shape.
- From the endpoint of the diagonal line:
-
Add Dimensions
- Use the Dimension tool:
- Linear Dimension:
- Horizontal lengths: 8, 22, 8.
- Vertical lengths: 18, 30.
- Place dimensions neatly outside the drawing for clarity.
- Linear Dimension:
- Use the Dimension tool:
-
Clean Up and Finalize
- Use the Trim tool (
TR
) to clean any excess lines. - Verify all lengths and symmetry to match the given design.
- Save and export your drawing in the desired format.
- Use the Trim tool (
