AutoCAD Assignment 2

For this assignment you will be working with layers and the offset command

Layers

when working on any project you should be using layers. Layers help to keep your project organized and easy to read.

Layers should ALWAYS be created first when you begin a new project. when creating your layers you should always have a dimension layer that is the colour RED. No other layers should be red

To Create a New Layer:
 

Open the Layer Properties Manager dialogue box. , click on the New button. A layer named Layer 1 will appear in the list of layers.

While the Layer 1 name is highlighted, type a new name for the layer.
Click on OK to exit the dialogue box.

To add a new layer or change layer properties through

the Layer Properties Manager dialogue box you can:
click on the Layer  button

OR

select Layer..., under the Format Menu.

The Layer Properties Manager dialogue box will appear.

Offset

The OFFSET command allows you to copy selected entities (lines, arcs, circles, plines or others) and place the copy at a specific distance from the original or through an existing position on another element (such as the endpoint of a line, center of a circle, etc.). An OFFSET item will be parallel or concentric to its original. 


select the Offset  button on the Drawing toolbar.
