Drawing Object using The Lines Command

Drawing Straight Lines

Straight lines are lines parallel to the x-axis or the y-axis. Straight lines properties as shown below:

To draw a Straight Line can use the Command Line, Press Button and Pull Down Menu.

-          If you use the Command Line, Type “line” or initial “L”  at the command line, and than press <enter>,

-          If you use the Press Button, press Line Button, as shown below:

-          If you use the Pull Down Menu, press Draw Menu --> Line, as shown below:

Steps to make straight lines after you use Line command are as follow:

1.       In the command line menu shows “Specify first point:” as shown below: 

 

2.       Point the cursor and click on the free drawing area or type the xy coordinates point (eg " 0,0 ") and then press < enter>

3.       In the command line menu shows “Specify next point or [Undo]:” as shown below:

4.       In the drawing area , the cursor can be moved freely . It is difficult for the manufacture of a straight line . Therefore , point the cursor to move in the direction of the x or y axis with the command " ortho mode " . You do it by click on the “ortho” button or press F8 on the keyboard, as shown below:

5.       Move the cursor to the x or y direction (in Step -5 image shows the direction of the x axis). At the command line , specify point of the next line with:

-          Line length dimension from previous point (eg type “35”), or

-          The xy coordinate point (eg type “35,0”), or

-          Cursors click on free drawing area.

6.       Repeat 6^th steps to makes the next continuous lines.

7.       After 3^rd point of lines, in command line shows “Specify next point or [Undo/Close]”.

-          Repeat 6^th steps to makes the next continuous lines, or

-          Type “Undo” or initial “U” in command line to cancel previous point of lines, or

-          Type “Close” or initial “C” in command line to connect lines into first point, or

-          Press <enter> to command line end.

Drawing Angle Lines

Angle lines are lines has angle dimension to the x-axis or the y-axis. Angle lines properties as shown:

Steps to make Angle lines after you use Line command are as follow:

1.       In the command line menu shows “Specify first point:”

2.       Point the cursor and click on the free drawing area or enter the coordinates xy (eg " 0,0 ") and then press < enter>

3.       In the command line menu shows “Specify next point or [Undo]:”

4.       Specify point of the next line with type “@” line length dimension, “<” and line angle dimension (eg type “@25<30”)

5.       Next steps as same the straight lines.

Drawing Practice use Line Command

Drawing for exercise

Steps to make the drawing above using the command line are as follow:

1.       Type “Line” or initial “L”  at the command line, and press <enter>,

2.       Type the xy coordinate point is “0,0”, and press <enter>,

3.       Type line length dimension and angle line is “50<30” and than press <enter>,

4.       Move the cursor to the x + direction, type length dimension is”45”, and press <enter>,

5.       Move the cursor to the y- direction, type length dimension is”50”, and press <enter>,

6.       Move the cursor to the x- direction, type length dimension is”20”, and press <enter>,

7.       Type “Close” or initial “C”, and press <enter>.
