Schedule
Add a schedule of topics to be covered. Include a detailed schedule on the Schedule page.
Overview of CAD. Operating systems used in PC; AutoCAD interfaces: Toolbars, Menus,
Cursor Menus, The command window, the text windows; Accessing commands: Using
toolbar, using menus, using command line; Switching from dialog box to command line;
Saving files; File naming convention. Laboratory work: Practicing interacting with
AutoCAD GUI, pull-down menus, and create simple drawings.
• 2D Basics. Drawing units (Architectural, Decimal, Engineering, Fractional, and Scientific);
Starting a new drawing; Standard drawing sheet sizes; Drawing limits; Setting up grid and
snap; Using layers and colors. Coordinate systems (Absolute and relative, rectangular and
polar); World coordinate system (WCS) and User defined coordinate system (UCS); Using
direct distance entry; Shifting and rotating the coordinate systems; Locating a new UCS
origin; Restoring the UCS to WCS. Laboratory work: Practice setting up grids and snaps;
create geometry using different coordinate systems; learn mode draw commands.
• Fundamentals of 2-D Construction. Types of lines (visible lines, centerlines, hidden lines,
phantom lines, and leaders); Creating line objects (Line, polylines, multilines, polygons,
freehand sketching). Laboratory work: Simple 2-D geometric construction. Bisecting a line
or an arc; Bisecting an angle; Drawing a line through a point and perpendicular to a line;
Drawing a pentagon, a hexagon, and an Octagon. Creating curved objects (Spline curves,
circles, arcs, ellipses, and donuts). Use editing commands (move, copy, offset, mirror, rotate,
trim, extend, erase, fillet, chamfer, and break);
• Complex 2D geometric construction and dimensioning. Laboratory work: Drawing with
precision: Adjusting snap and grid alignment; Using ortho mode; Snapping to geometric
points on objects; Using object snaps (endpoint, midpoint, intersection, center, quadrant,
perpendicular). Applying dimensions. Terminology and conventions; linear dimensions;
Dimension styles, Units; Aligned dimensions; Radius and diameter dimension; Angular
dimensions; Baseline dimension; Center mark. dimensioning holes.
• Orthographic projection theory and adding text. Principal planes of projection. Three view
system. Text and text styles; Using line text; using multiline text; Fonts; Using text editors.
Laboratory work: Practice creating front view, top view, and the right-side view of an object.
Adding and modifying text.
• Section view and auxiliary views. Different type of sections views. Auxiliary views for
Inclined and oblique planes. Primary and secondary auxiliary views. Laboratory work:
Practice creating section and auxiliary views.
• Working Drawings. Borderline, title block, release block, tolerance block, revision block,
parts list, and drawing notes. Laboratory work: Practice creating working drawings.
• Printing and plotting. Concepts of model space and paper space. Drawing templates, and
scale factor. Laboratory work: Practice printing and plotting using proper scale factor. Setting
up text size based on the scale factor.

Academic Integrity Policy
Students and all others who work with information, ideas, texts, images, music, inventions and other intellectual property owe their audience and sources accuracy and honesty in using, crediting and citation of sources. As a community of intellectual and professional workers, the college recognizes its responsibility for providing instruction in information literacy and academic integrity, offering models of good practice, and responding vigilantly and appropriately to infractions of academic integrity. Accordingly, academic dishonesty is prohibited in The City University of New York and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension and expulsion. More information about the College’s policy on Academic Integrity may be found in the College Catalog.
