INTRODUCTION To Auto Cad

Autocad is a collection of all of the line and arc entities that create an object, ‘moulded’ together to make one selectable object. Selecting one particular entity (such as a midpoint of a line for example) will select all objects contained within the block. They can be moved, rotated, mirrored etc and will always be treated by Autocad as one whole object. The only way to ‘break’ the block apart, and split it into its seperate line entities, is to explode it. If one particular part of a block needs to be changed, the block has to be exploded, the modification made, and the objects created back into a block. Why use Blocks? Blocks are an invaluable way of quickly arranging complex pieces of a drawing. functions.
Animation Boom will develop students’ understanding of the concepts of making basic blue prints using the program The course is intended to be informative and applicable to architectural design. The work involved is to be done in class only. Students should have a prior knowledge of graphing on the coordinate plane. The course meets for one quarter, four periods each week. As one project, students will work together in a group to research the dimensions of Solomon’s Temple and produce the blue prints.
