This completes the drawing part of the process – we now create annotations. And the Copy tool (CP or CO) to copy items to various locations.īlocks are of course used for repeatable items like chairs, tap-ware, handles, etc.Įlevations would be created by projecting upwards and across from the floor-plan, in the same way one would do this if drawing paper plans, using the Construction Line tool, perhaps on a non-printing Guides layer. To create regularly-spaced objects like chairs, lighting, etc, use the Array (AR) tool. We may also use the Fillet (F) tool for curved edges, eg. Then we use the Offset (O) tool to create wall thicknesses, shadow lines, beveled edges, Shaker panels, and skirting, etc. The Trim (TR) and Extend (EX) tools are used next to tidy up our line-work. Using the Polyline (PL) or the Line (L) tool, with ORTHO ( F8 or Command+L) on, we draw the main shapes of the building foot-print: walls, windows, doors, joinery, etc. Next we would go into the Layer Properties Manager (type LA > Enter) to create some layers for Walls, Joinery, Appliances, etc, adjusting the line-weights and colours of each. This will give us a drawing space 10m wide. For the Upper right limit type 10000,6000 > OK. To check the size of the drawing space type limits into the Command line and hit the Enter > Lower left: 0,0. Each of the tools and processes below we describe in closer detail in other related blog posts.
We have covered templates in a previous blog post. To begin we go the top left Application menu ( Mac: File) and choose a metric template. We show you how to quickly and easily create these drawings in our Autocad 2D training courses. Autocad 2D is often used to create floor-plans and elevations for kitchens and bathrooms.
