Drawing Problems
Start AutoCAD if it is not already started. Start a new drawing for each problem using an
appropriate template of your choice. The template should include layers and text styles, when
necessary, for drawing the given objects. Add layers and text styles as needed. Draw all objects
using appropriate layers. Use appropriate text styles, justification, and format. Follow the spe-
cific instructions for each problem. Use only drawing and editing commands and techniques
you have already learned. Do not draw dimensions. Use your own judgment and approximate
dimensions when necessary.
▼ Basic
1. General Draw Object A using the
LINE
and
ARC
commands. Make sure the
corners overrun and center the arc on the lines, but the arc should not touch the
lines. Use the TRIM, EXTEND, and
STRETCH
commands to make Object B. Save the
drawing as P11-1.
Object A Object B
2. General Save
P11-1
as P11-2. In the
P11-2
file, use the
STRETCH
command to
convert Object A to Object B. Resave the drawing.
Object A Object B
3. Piping Refer to Figure 11-23 in this chapter. Draw the object shown in Option 1.
Stretch the object to twice its length, as shown in Option 2. Stretch the object again
to one and a half times its length. Hint: Use endpoint and midpoint object snap
modes to stretch accurately. Save the drawing as P11-3.
