how to use auto CAD 3?

Lesson 3

Shifu came and went through my drawing.... He took his " magic tape" to re- measure the house i drawn to double confirm my measurement. I was very confidence with my " accuracy" measurement. Ha ha, the method Shifu use was different with my method. He didn't use the tape but started to count the " boxes" on the floor, usually 1 feetX1 feet. However, the result didn't had a big different. what i had learn from here is.... i have to be open minded and creative. i should not always follow the old method and must look it into the different perspective.

Auto cad is a wonderful things. I can find the end point and mid point of a line accurately by using OSNAP. OSNAP in auto CAD help me to get accuracy in drawing. The best thing is i can draw a nice circle by just giving the radius or diameter. Amazing! Start from this moment, i do not need any help from the " circle" like things. By using auto cad, a nice and smooth circle can be draw. Even thought drawing a tangent become a easy task. I am quite lazy to draw using hand.

My next task will be drawing windows, doors and all the furniture in the house. I am exciting for the next tutorial.

how to use auto CAD 2?

Lesson 2

My teacher Panda taught me after he came back from his work. thanks for him and i had to be prepare for today new class for my auto cad. No matter what, i still want to learn it and draw my own house. Then i can design the furniture i like and can fit it the house.

Lesson 2 was not that easy, i had to crack my head about the mathematics i learned when i was in school time.... I totally lost contact with maths for 5 years..... these lesson needed to know the conversion from meter to millimeter; meter to feet; feet to meter; feet to inches and etc.

then i had to start measure the house length and width. there were 2 ways in measuring. First was using the measuring tape, but is not the common tape that we use to measure the cloths.... The measuring tape is " professional tape" up to 7.5meters. It was so flexible to use. we can measure the ceiling and very far distance except more than 7.5meters. This tape is so useful until Panda demonstrated in front of me... ( Kungfu Panda???) i had to measure the room, door, window, furniture and etc. in millimeters so i can draw my house. Usually we use millimeter, it depends on the person who draw. it can be meter or other units.

second method to measure the length and width is count the ceiling " boxes"and usually is 2 feets X 4 feets per box. Then just total up and converted in into millimeters. Very easy right?.

After measuring the whole house, i had to start drawing. it was not a easy task, we had to be familiar with the "pick" and " enter" button. Guess what, i had finish drawing the whole house except putting in the window, door, furniture and the toilet. Of course, my auto CAD still need my Kungfu Panda shifu to look through once and give comment.

so, in the meantime i had to be patient for my 3rd lesson.

how to use AutoCAD?


Lesson 1
yesterday was my first time learned to use AutoCAD. i heard it since i was in my university. however i never knew what it is until my friend- Panda taught me yesterday....

why i have to learn auto CAD? it is because i want to design my house. (what a huge ambitions???) this is why i am so eager to learn.

drawing a line using ruler and pencil is so easy until i learn auto cad.... oh, i am a loser in using computer and "mouse". i only know the function of left and right click of the " mouse". i didn't know the " mouse wheel" can do a lot of function in auto cad. Everything started to be new and interesting when i learn auto cad. Panda taught me to draw a line ( straight line and angle) and trimming....

first lesson of auto cad is draw a line. i mention before drawing a line using ruler and pencil is far more easy.... however using auto cad to draw a line is a new experienced. there are a lot of people know about auto cad. people like me study about biology won't know what and how to use auto cad. so, it was a interesting and challenging experience.

first we must know the left click of the button of the mouse is "pick", the right click is "enter". before we draw a line, we must enter a word or alphabet " line" or " L" then right click ( enter). then only we can start to draw a line by "pick". ended the line by pick then enter. if we want to have a straight line just press the F8 or ORTHO. the line can be straight or according to the degree of angle. interesting, right?

then i found out the miracle of the mouse wheel. we can zoom in and out by scrolling the mouse wheel up and down. if u want to PAN the picture u draw, just press at the mouse wheel. the hand will come out then we can move the whole picture we draw. it is quite amazing. i am waiting for my lesson 2 for the next few day. hope my teacher Panda will be patient about my slowest in learning auto cad. then i can start design my house.
