Chapter # 1

INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER

Computer:

A computer is an electronic device that can accept data, store it, arithmetically and logically process that data and give useful results from that processing.

A computer is normally considered to be a calculating device which can perform arithmetic and logical operations at a very fast speed.

Uses of the Computer:

Some common purposes of a computer are:

1. We can store data in a computer and retrieve stored data when we needed.

2. We can send message to our friends, relative and family anywhere in the world by connecting computer with Internet.

3. Computer are use to make good defense of a country.

4. Computer is helpful in offices, sciences laboratories, education, engineering and technology.

5. Medical science and biotechnology are using computer to diagnose the diseases of a people.

6. We can play game on a computer. 7. We can watch movies on a computer.

History of Computer:

Abacus:

The earliest device that qualifies as a digital computer is the Abacus. The Abacus was invented 5,000 years ago in Asia, Minor is still in use today. This device allows user to calculate, by sliding beads arranged on a rack.

First Generation of Computer (1945-1956)

Second Generation of Computer (1964-1971)

Third Generation of Computer (1971 Present)

Fifth Generation of Computer (present- Beyond)

Types of Computers

On the basis of principles of construction, computer is divided into three types: 1.

Analog Computer

2.

Digital Computer

3.

Hybrid Computer

1 Analog Computer:

Analog quantities show the continuity of specified value, Analog devices, which are used to measure continuous values. An example is a thermometer because it measures the length of a mercury column, which varies continuously. Another example is Analog clock.

(12)

Digital means discrete, with digital signal every thing is described in two states either on or off. Which can distinguish between just two values 0 and 1? Digital watches are a good example of digital computer, because the time,

3 Hybrid Computers:

A computer that combines the characters of both Analog and digital computer is known as hybrid computer.

OR

The third type of computer is Hybrid Computer because Hybrid Computer is the combination of the properties of both analog and digital computers.

This is usually found in science laboratories as the controlling device in an industrial process.

Differences between Analog and Digital computers

Analog

Digital

1. Analog computer works with continuous values.

2. It has very limited memory. 3. It can perform certain types of

calculation

4. Analog computers are used in engineering and scientific applications.

5. Its accuracy is low. 6. Its readability is low.

1. Digital computer works with discrete Values. It can work only with digits. 2. It can store large amount of data. 3. Its speed of calculation is very high. 4. Digital computers are widely used in Almost all fields of life.

5. Its accuracy is comparatively low. 6. Its readability is high.

Classification of Computer

Computers are classified according to size. Speed and memory, capacity .Computer is of different classification:

1. Super Computers

2. Mainframe

3. Mainframe

4. Micro/Personal Computer /Desktop or tower

5. Laptop.

File:

File:

File is a basic data storage object in computer means we save all data in files. Different files used to store different data types. To make and manage a specific file in computer we use a specific software. For example: if you want to store drawing in computer you will use paint to make drawing file (Bitmap File). Similarly if you want to save text in computer you will use text file that will be created and managed in Word pad, Notepad or Ms- Word software’s.

Folder:

Folder:

Folder:

Folder:

Folder is container of files and sub folders. We group all related files in one folder. For example if you want to keep record of a school then to save all record we will use files. For good management you should keep all files related to 10th class in one folder and all files related to 9th class in other folder.

Naming a File&Folder: Each file and folder will be identified by a unique name. At a same storage location no two files or folders can be created or saved with same name. It is a good practice to name a file or folder related to data in it.

For Example: If a file have admission from stored in it then name it as admission form. We can create, rename, delete, restore and shift a file or folder from one location to another.

Recycle Bin: Recycle Bin: Recycle Bin: Recycle Bin:

Recycle bin is an object on desktop used to keep deleted item (files / folders) in computer. We can also restore (get back) file/folders from recycle bin. We can check deleted items in recycle bin as.

Steps: Open recycle binSee your required item.

AutoCAD Fundamentals

Welcome to the world of Computer Aided Designing (CAD), CAD is used as a tool to produce all types of Engineering Graphics drawings whether they be two-dimensional or three-dimensional or whether they be architectural, Electrical, or Mechanical in application.

Drafting and design has always been compared to language such as English or German, however, the design process and the ability to compare a design technically on paper was and still is considered the language of Industry. Due to evolution of Computer, the design has shifted from paper to the video display, although paper output through a plotter is still considered in some applications. The same tools that were available for the manual production of drawings have changed considerably using computer and in some cases doubt on the justification of the CAD terminal versus the drawing board. Now with 3D graphics available on most CAD systems, an individual not only is able to construct in three dimensions, but is also able to construct a prototype called solid model to be used for analysis.

The AutoCAD drawing Screen – Typical Installation

When performing a typical installation, and when first launching AutoCAD, the AutoCAD Graphic Screen is In the screen is the pull down menu area used to locate various commands under such categories FILE, EDIT, VIEW, INSERT, DRAW, MODIFY, (a name of few) Directly beneath the pull down menu area is the Standard Toolbar containing such command as new and open in addition to displaying numerous fly outs supporting the ZOOM, OBJECT SNAPS. (And below the Standard Toolbar) Object Properties toolbar is designed to manipulate Layers, Line types and colors. Two additional toolbars appear on the left side is Draw toolbar holds the command Circle Arc, and BHATCH and Modify toolbar contains Fillet, Chamfer,

(30)

Erase, Explode, Trim to name just a few. At the part of the display screen is the Command area which prompts you for input depending command currently in progress. At the very bottom is the status area.

USING KEYBOARD FUNCTION KEYS

A typical keyboard complete with function key above the alphanumeric keys. These functions keys are labeled F1 through F12 only keys F1 through F11 will be discussed here.

F1 = Windows Online Help

F2 = Toggle Between Graphic Screen / Text Screen. F3 = Toggle OSNAP setting dialogue box.

F4 = Toggle tablet mode on or off.

F5 = 3 Isoplane modes to construct isometric drawing. F6 = Toggle the coordinates. On/off.

F7 = Toggle the display of Grid on or off. F8 = Toggle to Ortho mode.

F9 = Toggle Snap mode on or off. The SNAP command sets the current snap value.

F10 = Toggle Polar tracking on

or off.

F11 = Object snap tracking on or off.

METHOD OF CHOOSING COMMANDS

There are four ways to enter or select commands for constructing or editing drawings. In figure the pull down menu is becoming very popular with many users. The Optional screen menu is illustrated in figure 39-6 to activate it choose the Option command located under the tools pull down menu area click on the display tab and place check in the edit box o display the screen menu. This practice is popular for users familiar with commands illustrated in figure below is an example of the fourth method for selecting commands namely through a toolbars.

(31)

ACTIVATING TOOLBARS

Numerous toolbars are available to assist you in picking other types of commands.

Clicking on toolbars….

Displays the toolbars dialogue box illustrated in figure by default four toolbars are

already loaded or active in all drawings they are Object Properties Standard

Toolbar Draw and Modify, to make another toolbar active click in the empty box

next to the name of the toolbar. This will display the toolbar and allow you to

preview it before making it a part of the display screen,

Commonly

Command Aliases

To assist with the enter AutoCAD commands from the Keyboard certain

commands have been shortened and are censer considered “Aliases”. Once you are

comfortable with the Keyboard using command aliases provide a very fast efficient

method of activating AutoCAD commands.

Using the Options Dialing Box

Picking the tools areas of the

pull-down menu area in Figure

exposes the Option command

located at the very bottom of

the pull-down menu. Pick this

command to make various

changes to the operating environment of the

AutoCAD. Seven categories

or Tabs are available to allow you

to make AutoCAD change

including to how files are pointed to

the performance of the system.

The display and pointer will be discussed in detail in the following pages. Checking on the display tab activates the dialog box illustrated in a Figure 3-13.

Changing the Color of the

Display

Change the Colors button of the Display. Tab

activates The AutoCAD Window Color dialog

box in Figure. Use this to make change so that

makes up the display screen. This provides an

easier way to manipulate AutoCAD

screen Colors.

Changing the Size of the

Cursor

Checking the pointer tab of

the

main

Option dialog box activates

the

dialog

box shown is Figure. Here the

size

of

graphic cursor may be changed. By default the curser is displayed at 5 percent of

the size of the display screen.

Starting a New Drawing

To begin drawing file. Select

the

NEW

command with the button

shown in the

(33)

click on the new command located in the File pull-down menu area in Figure 3-16.

The New command can also be entered in at the command prompt similar to the

following command sequence:

Command: NEW

Entering the NEW command displays the New Drawing dialog box illustrated in

Figure 3-17. Four options are

available

in

this dialog box. Using a

template,

Starting from scratch, Open

an

existing

drawing

and

Using

a

Wizards.

Clicking on the button entitled “Start from

Search” begins the AutoCAD drawing file

with such default setting as a sheet of page 12 units by 9 units and four place decimal precision.

Using the Quick Wizard

When clicking on the “Use a Wizard” button in addition on the Quick setup displays the dialog

box shown in Figure which consists of two

tabs identified by Step 1 & Step 2. Step 1 is

used to graphically control the units of the

drawing. Five units of measure are available

through this Wizard namely Decimal

Engineering, Architectural, Fractional, and

Scientific. When complete with setting the unit

of the drawing. Click on the Next button for the

next dialog box in the Quick Setup. Step 2 of

the quick Wizard setup. This tab deals with the

area of the drawing which is given as a

Width and a Length value Figure 3-20.The width

and length of the drawing area are entered.

Using

the

Advanced

Wizard

The advanced setup dialog box illustratedin

Figure.3-21. The Advanced Wizard contains

seven tabs to make changes to the initial drawing

setup. It is used to allow you to choose among

Decimal, Engineering, Architectural,

Fractional, and Scientific units. When changing

the units, they will preview in the Sample Units

image.

The second tab, Step 2 of the Advanced Setup

Wizard, deals with how angles will be measured

(34)

The third tab, Step 3 of the Advanced

Setup

dialog

box, displays how angles will be

measured in the

drawing. By default, angles are

measured

starting with East for an angle of 0,

North

for

an

angle of 90 degrees, West for 180

degrees,

and

South for 170 degrees. Also by

default,

these

angles are measured counterclockwise.

The fourth tab, Step 4 of the Advanced Setup dialog box, deals with Angle Direction. As noted in Figure 3-23, all angles are by default measured in the counterclockwise direction. The fifth tab step 5 of the advanced setup dialog box is identical to step 2 of the quick wizard setup.

Opening an Existing Drawing

The OPEN command is used to edit a drawing that already exists or has already been created. Select this command from the “File” area of the pull-down menu area.

Using the Browse Button

Clicking on the Find File button of the Select File dialog box displays the Brows/Search dialog box illustrated in Figure 3-32. Use it to preview groups of drawings; select the desired file to open it as the current drawing file. Clicking on the Search Tab activates a dialog box. Enables you to enter drive information, file type information, and dates and times of the file in order to perform a search.

Using the Units Control Dialog Box

The Units Control dialog box is available to intermediately set the units of a drawing. This dialog box is selected from the pull-down menu under “Format” Selecting Units Activates the dialog box illustrated in Figure 3-33.

The following methods of

measuring

angles

are

supported

in the Units Control

dialog

box: Decimal Degrees,

Degrees/Minutes/Seconds,

Grads,

Radians,

and

Surveyor’s

Units.

(35)

Accuracy of decimal degree angles may be set between zero and eight places.

Selecting “Direction” in the Units Control dialog box displays another dialog box called Direction Control. Use this dialog box to conrol the direction of angle zero in addition to changing the way angles are measured by default in the counterclockwise direction.

Using the LIMITS Command

By default, the size of the drawing display screen in a new drawing file measures

12 units in the X direction and 9 units in the Y direction. As this size may be ideal

for small objects, larger drawing requires a more drawing screen area. Use the

LIMTS command for increasing the drawing area. Select this command form the

“Format”area of the pull –down menu (see Figure 1-34 A)

This command may also be entered directly at command prompt. Illustrated in Figure 3- 34B in a section view drawing. This drawing fits in a screen size of 24 units in the X direction and 18 units in the Y direction. Follow the promt sequence below for changing the limits of a drawing. Command: LIMITS

ON/OFF/<Lower left comer>

<0.0000,0.0000>:( Press Enter to

accept this value)

Upper right corner

<12.0000,9.0000>:24,18

Before continuing, perform a ZOOM-All to change the size of the display screen to

reflect the changes in the limits of the drawing. This command can be found in the

View pull-down menu area, clicking on Toolbar, and placing a check in the box

next to Zoom.

Command: ZOOM

Using the GRID Command

Use grid to get a relative idea of the size of objects. Grid is also used to define the size of the display screen originally set by the LIMITS command. The dots that make up the grid will never plot out on paper even if they are visible on the display screen. Grid dots may be turned on or off either by using the GRID command or by pressing the F7 function key. By default, the grid is displayed in one unit intervals similar to Figure 3-38.

Command: GRID

Grid spacing (x) or ON/OFF/Snap/Apect <0.0000>:0.50

While grid is a useful aid for construction purposes it may reduce the overall performance of the competer system. If the grid is set to a small value and is visible on the display screen, it takes time for the grid to display. If a very value is given display warning that a prompt will be displayed warning that the Grid value is too small to display on the screen.

(37)

Using the SNAP Command

It is possible to have the cursor

lock onto or

snap to a grid dot this is the

Purpose of the

SNAP command. By default

the

current

snap spacing is 1.00 units.

Even though a

value is set the snap must be

turned on for

the cursor to be positioned on a

grid dot. This

can be accomplished by using

the

SNAP

Command below or by pressing the F9 function key.

Using the Drafting Setting Dialog Box

Selecting “Tools” from the pull-

down

menu

area

and

then

selecting

“Drawing

dialog

box used for making dynamic

changes

to

such commands as GRID and

SNAP.

In

addition to these command the

following

command modes may also be

changed:

Ortho: Solid Fill: Quick Text;

Blips;

Highlight, grouping;

And Associative Hatching

Placing a check in the box provided turns on the Specific mode, checking the boxagain removes the check turning of the mode.

2-Organizing a drawing through layers

As a means of organizing objects, a series of layers should be devised for every drawing. Layers can be thought of as a group of transparent overlays that combines to from the completed drawing. Fig ure 2-43 shows a drawing consisting of object lines, dimension lines, and border. Creating these three drawing components is illustrated in Figure 2-44 Only the drawing border occupies a layer that could be called be called “Object” and the

Dimension lines could be drawn on a layer called “Dimension.” At times it may be

necessary to trun off the dimension lines for better clarity of the object. Creating all

Dimensions on a specific layer will allow you to trun off the dimensions while viewing all other objects on layers still turned on.

Using the LAYER Command

Command: LAYER

?/Make/Set/New/On/Off Color / type/Freeze/

Thaw/Lock/Unlock:

A detailed listing of the LAYER option

follow they are also entered in from the

keyboard using the first letter of the option

(except for the Lock option which

requires the letters “LO” to activate

it).

? Used to give a complete list or partial

listing of all layers in the current drawing file.

Make Use to create a new layer and automatically set the new layer the current layer.

Set Allows you to change to a new current layer, layers. All new objects drawn on this layer. New Used to create n new layer or series of new layers. The set option is then used to change

from one layer to new current layer.

On Make all objects created on a certain layer visible on the display screen. Off Turns off or makes invisible all objects created on certain layer.

Color Allows you t assign a color a layer name.

Ltype Allows you to assign a linetype to a layer name.

Freeze Similar to the off option; turns off all objects

created on a certain layer. Objects frozen will not

be calculated when performing a drawing

regeneration. Therefore, Freeze is used as a

productivity tool to speed up drawing performance.

Thaw Similar to on turns on all objects created

on a certain layer that was previously frozen.

Lock Allows objects on a certain to be visible on the

display screen while protecting them from

accidentally being modified through an EDITING

command.

Unlock Unlock a previously locked Figure 3-45 layer.

Figure

2-Using the LAYER Command to create New Layer

Using the Layer & Linetype Properties Dialog Box

A more popular and efficient way to creat and manage layers

is to use the Layer & Linetype Properties dialog box to perform the following layer operations:

Creating new layers

Making a layer the new current layer

Assigning a color to a layer or group of layers

Assigning a linetype to a layer or group of layers Turning layers on or off

Freezing or thawing layers Locking or unlocking layers.

Creating New Layer Using the

Dialog

Box

Clicking on the “New” button of the Layer &

Linetype Properties dialog box

automatically creates a new layer called

“Layer1” which display itself in the layer

list box in Figure 2-47

Since this Illustrated in Figure 2- 48 is the

result of changing the name “Layer” to

“Objects” As the word

“OBJECTS” may be entered in with

uppercase, or “objects” in lower case letters,

if more than one layer needs to be created it is

not necessary to continually pick on the new layers a more efficient method world be to perform

the following after creating n new “Layer”

change its name layer name is completely

highlighted, you may select to change its name to

something with more meaning, such as a layer called

“Objects” to hold all objects lines in a drawing the

layer name is capitalized while all other letters

appear in lowercase.

To “Dim” followed by a comma (,) this will

automatically create a new “Layer1” (see

Figure2-49) Change its name followed by a comma and a

new layer is created and so on.

Assigning Colors and Linetypes

Once a layer is selected from the list box of the Layer

& Linetype Properties dialog box and color swatch

is selected next to the layer name, the select Color

dialog box shown in Figure 2-50 displays.

Use this dialog box to dynamically select

preloaded linetypes to be preloaded, click on the

Load button of the Select Linetype dialog box to

Figure 3-49

Figure 2-46A

(40)

Figure 2-52

display box shown in Figure 2-52.

Once the Load or Reload Linetypes dialog box is display as in Figure 2-52,

Notice in addition to standard linetypes such as Hidden and Phantom, a few

linetypes are provided that have

text

automatically embedded into the

linetype. As

the linetype is drawn, the text is

placed

depending how it was originally

designed.

Once layers have been created along with color and

linetype assignments, the display of the layer &

Linetype properties dialog box will be similar to Figure 3-53 Initially when layers are created, they are placed in the dialog box in the exact order they Clicking on the Details button in Figure 2-53 expands the botton of the dialog box to include more detailed information about the

selected layer (Figure 2-45) Name color, and

Linetype information is isolated in individual

edit boxes. Also where created in. Once the

dialog box is dismissed using the OK button and

then revisited at a later time all layer names are

reordered to be displayed in

alphabetical order. The properties of the layer

(On, Freeze in all viewports, etc)

Control of Layer Properties

The Objects Properties toolbar displays

extra buttons for the control and

manipulation of layers in a drawing. The Make

layer Current Button in Figure 2-55 allows you

to make a layer the new current layer by just clicking on an object in the drawing. The layer is now making current based on the layer of the selected object. The presence of the light bulb Signifies that the layer is turned on. Clicking on the lightbulb symbol will turn the layer off. The symbol signifies that the layer is thawed. Clicking on the sun turns it into a snowfiake symbol signifying that the layer is now frozen. The padlock symbol controls whether a layer is locked or unlocked. By default, all layers are unlocked. Clicking on the padlock changes the symbol signifying the layer is locked. Froozing and thawing of layers viewport is also possible through this area;

Controlling the Linetype Scale

LTSCALE

By default value of 1.00 is in effect.

This scale value acts as a multiplier for

all linetype distances. In other word, if

the hidden linetype is designed to

have dashes 0.125 units long, Ltscale

value of 1.00 displays the dash of the

hidden line at a value of 0.125 units.

Layer Command Button On/Off Freeze/Thaw Freeze/Thaw In a Viewport Lock/Unlock Color

The LTSCALE command displays the following command sequence. Command: LTSCALE

New scale factor< 1.0000>: (Press ENTER to accept

the default or enter another value) Accept the default or enter another value)

In Figure 2-58,

Command: LTSCALE Scale factor <1.0000> 0.50 In Figure 2-59,

A Ltscale value of 2.00 units has been applied to all linetypes. As a result,

instead of all hidden line dashes measuring 0.125 units, they now measure 0.25 as a result of the 2.00 multiplier as what appears to be continues linetype.

Command: LTSCALE

New scale factor < 0.5000>: 2.00 Illustrated in Figure 2-60

The Alphabets of Lines.

Before constructing engineering drawing the quality the lines that make up the drawings must first be discussed. Some lines of a drawing should be made thick others need to be made thin. This is to emphasize certain part of the drawing and is controlled through a line quality system. The most important line of a drawing outlines the shape of the object and for this reason is referred to as an Object line. Because of their importance, Object lines are made thin and continuous so they can stand out among the other lined in the drawing. It does not mean the other lines are considered unimportant; rather, the Object line takes precedence over all other lines. The Dimension line is a thin line used to show the numerical distance between two points. The dimension text is placed in between the dimension line and arrowheads are placed at opposite ends of the dimension line. The Extension line is another thin continues line and is used as a part of the overall dimension. Extension lines show the distance being dimensioned. Another important line used to identify the centers of circles is the Center line. It is a thin line consisting of a series of long and short dashes. It is a good practice to dimension to centerlines.

Basic Drawing Techniques Using the

LINE

Command

Use the Line command to construct a line from one

endpoint to the other. As the first point of the line is

marked, the rubber band cursor is displayed along

with the normal crosshair to help see where the next

line segment will be drawn. The LINE

command stays active until either the close option

is used or a null response is issued by pressing the

ENTER key at the prompt “To point.” Study Figure

3-62 and the following prompt sequence below for

using the LINE command.

From point :( Make a point at “A”) To point :( Make a point at “B”)

To point :( Make a point at “C”)
