Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

\n\nWhen you have completed this module, you will be able to:\n
    \n \t
  1. Describe how to move and copy objects in the current drawing and from one drawing to another.<\/li>\n \t
  2. Apply the MOVE, COPY, COPYCLIP, PASTECLIP, and COPYBASE commands to move and copy objects in the current drawing plus copy objects from one drawing to another.<\/li>\n \t
  3. Apply the FILETAB and FILETABCLOSE commands to enable the display of the open drawing file tabs above the Graphic window.<\/li>\n \t
  4. Describe how to construct a tangent arc that has one end tangent to a line and other end going through a point.<\/li>\n \t
  5. Fill out titleblocks in Paper space using the AutoCAD 2D book Standards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Moving and Copying Objects<\/h1>\nOne of the real benefits of using a CAD program is increasing your design and drawing productivity. Using the MOVE and COPY commands are a big part of that productivity. In AutoCAD, objects only have to be drawn once and then they can be used over and over again even if they are in a different drawing or at a different size or orientation. If an object has to be drawn that is similar to one that was previously drawn, simply copy it and change it. Using these principles in the your day-to-day work will noticeably increase your productivity.\n
    MUST KNOW:<\/strong> When an object is copied, the copies retain all of the properties of the original object even the layer it resides on. This happens regardless of the current layer when the COPY command is executed.<\/div>\n
    MUST KNOW:<\/strong> Drawing objects only have to be drawn once in AutoCAD and then you can use them over and over. Their size and orientation are not important as they can easily be changed as you will see in future modules. If you have to draw an object that is similar to one you or someone else has drawn before, simply make a copy of it and make your changes. Drawing objects can be copied from one drawing to another.<\/div>\n

    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> When you copied the objects, the line in the center was duplicated. More then one object at the same location will cause problems in a drawing. When you know that you have duplicated an objects, correct it by deleting the duplicate as soon as you can. Use the Pick method to select the line since it will only select one object at a time. If you use a window of some kind, it would select all objects.<\/div>\n

    Step 16<\/h2>\nUsing what you just learned, copy all of the objects down to match the figure. (Figure Step 16)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"322\"]\"\" Figure Step 16[\/caption]\n

    Step 17<\/h2>\nDelete the lines that were duplicated.\n

    Step 8<\/h2>\nEnter the ZOOM Extents command.\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> By entering the ZOOM Extents command, all objects in the current drawing will be displayed in the Graphic window. By entering this command, you will ensure that you are viewing all on and thawed objects in the current drawing. It is important to keep this in mind while working on any AutoCAD drawing.<\/div>\n

    Step 9<\/h2>\nEnter the COPYCLIP command and select all objects using a crossing window. (Figure Step 9A, 9B, and 9C)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"177\"]\"\" Figure Step 9A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"216\"]\"\" Figure Step 9B[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"181\"]\"\" Figure Step 9C[\/caption]\n\n
    AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>The COPYCLIP command copies the selected objects onto the clipboard.<\/div>\n

    Step 10<\/h2>\nEnter the PASTECLIP command and when prompted for the Insertion point, select anywhere on the drawing. Match the location the best you can as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 10A, and 10B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"384\"]\"\" Figure Step 10A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"380\"]\"\" Figure Step 10B[\/caption]\n

    Step 11<\/h2>\nUsing what you learned earlier in this module, move the objects on the right and snap the bottom left corner to the bottom right corner of the original objects.

    Step 12<\/h2>\nDelete the lines that were duplicated. (Figure step 12)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"332\"]\"\" Figure Step 12[\/caption]\n

    Step 13<\/h2>\nSave and close the drawing.\n
    MUST KNOW: <\/strong>The COPYBASE command is very important to the AutoCAD Operator who works in disciplines such as mapping and architectural. When copying objects from one drawing to another, the objects must be in the exact location as they were in the original drawing. Use the COPYBASE command with 0,0 as the base point and use the same coordinates when pasting it into the new drawing.<\/div>\n

    Geometry Lesson: Tangency - Part 2<\/h1>\nWhen an arc must be constructed that has one end tangent to a line and other end going through a point, you cannot use the FILLET command. A fillet MUST be tangent at both ends. It must be drawn as an arc as follows:\n

    Step 1<\/h2>\nThis is the arc to be drawn. (Figure Step 1)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 1[\/caption]\n

    Step 2<\/h2>\nDraw the construction lines. (Figure Step 2)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"395\"]\"\" Figure Step 2[\/caption]\n

    Step 3<\/h2>\nOffset the line which is tangent to the arc at a distance of 1.5 units.1.5 is the radius of the arc being inserted. Draw a circle with the radius of 1.5 units with its center at the point where the arc ends. (Figure Step 3)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"401\"]\"\" Figure Step 3[\/caption]\n

    Step 4<\/h2>\nDraw the circle with a radius of 1.5. Its center is the intersection of the offset line and the circle. (Figure Step 4)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"420\"]\"\" Figure Step 4[\/caption]\n

    Step 5<\/h2>\nTrim the circle you drew in Step 4 and turn layer Construction off. (Figure Step 5)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"395\"]\"\" Figure Step 5[\/caption]\n

    AutoCAD book Standards: Filling in the Titleblock<\/h1>\nWhen filling in the titleblock in the workalongs and lab exercises in the AutoCAD 2D book, use the following standards:\n
      \n \t
    1. Set Titleblock as the current text style.<\/li>\n \t
    2. Set layer Titleblock Text as the current layer.<\/li>\n \t
    3. Use a text height that matches the area being filling. You can pick a text height to use that looks pleasing to your eye. See the figures below for approximate text heights.<\/li>\n \t
    4. Center the text by eye. It helps to use middle justified. Use the MOVE and ORTHO commands to make the job easier.<\/li>\n \t
    5. Fill in the bottom row with your actual name, the actual date, scale, drawing number, and sheet number.<\/li>\n \t
    6. The format of the date is: Month-Day-Year, MM-DD-YYYY For example: 01-20-2014 (For January 20, 2014)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"623\"]\"\" Figure 20-1[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"620\"]\"\" Figure 20-2[\/caption]\n

      WORKALONG: Construction Techniques<\/h1>\n

      Step 1<\/h2>\nStart a new drawing using the template: 2D Layout English<\/span>.\n

      Step 2<\/h2>\nSave and name the drawing: AutoCAD 2D Workalong 20-3<\/span>.\n

      Step 3<\/h2>\nSet layer: Construction<\/span> as the current layer. Using the dimensioned drawing as a reference, draw the lines and circle to match the figure. (Figure Step 3A and 3B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"430\"]\"\" Figure Step 3A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"259\"]\"\" Figure Step 3B[\/caption]\n

      Step 4<\/h2>\nChange the layer of the object lines and the circle to layer: Object<\/span>. (Figure Step 4)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"261\"]\"\" Figure Step 4[\/caption]\n

      Step 5<\/h2>\nDraw a circle snapping its center location to the center of the circle and snap to the end of the line to specify the radius. Trim the circle. (Figure Step 5A and 5B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"321\"]\"\" Figure Step 5A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"261\"]\"\" Figure Step 5B[\/caption]\n\n
      \n\nAUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>Since you do not know the actual radius of the arc, show AutoCAD the radius by snapping to the end of the line rather then entering a number.\n\n<\/div>\n

      Step 6<\/h2>\nOffset the line, 1.5 inches, on the right side. Change the layer of the line to layer: Construction<\/span>. On layer: Construction<\/span>, draw a circle with a 1.5 radius and snap its center to the end of the line as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 6A, 6B, and 6C)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"291\"]\"\" Figure Step 6A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"349\"]\"\" Figure Step 6B[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"325\"]\"\" Figure Step 6C[\/caption]\n\n
      AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>The offset distance and the radius of the circle inserted in Step 6 is set 1.5 inches since that is the radius of finished arc.<\/div>\n

      Step 7<\/h2>\nOn layer: Object<\/span>, draw a circle by snapping its center to the intersection of the construction circle and offset line. Show AutoCAD the radius, of 1.5, by snapping to the end of the line. (Figure Step 7A and 7B)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"320\"]\"\" Figure Step 7A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"320\"]\"\" Figure Step 7B[\/caption]\n

      Step 8<\/h2>\nTrim the circle first. Delete one line and trim the other line. (Figure Step 8)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]\"\" Figure Step 8[\/caption]\n

      Step 9<\/h2>\nOffset the line on the top 0.35 inches. Change the layer of the line to layer: Construction<\/span>. On layer: Construction<\/span>, draw a circle with a 0.35 inch radius.

      AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>There are many techniques to filling out the titleblock fast and efficiently as possible. Since it is text, it can be inserted by eye and moved around to make it look good. The following is my technique. Over time, you may find one of your own that works better for you.<\/div>\n

      Step 20<\/h2>\nWith the Paper space the current space, enter the DTEXT command and insert the drawing title text at a height of 0.25 using middle justified. Select a location by eye. It does not have to be placed exactly as you will be moving it later. (Figure Step 20)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"662\"]\"\" Figure Step 20[\/caption]\n

      Step 21<\/h2>\nUsing the MOVE command, move the text locating it by eye to center it horizontally and vertically. (Figure Step 21)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"670\"]\"\" Figure Step 21[\/caption]\n

      Step 22<\/h2>\nEnter the DTEXT command enter the text TEXT at a height of 0.14. Center it by eye using the MOVE command. (Figure Step 22)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"682\"]\"\" Figure Step 22[\/caption]\n

      Step 23<\/h2>\nUse the COPY command and Ortho mode, copy the text to the next two locations. Disable Ortho mode and copy the text into the two locations on the right and center the text by eye. (Figure Step 23)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"681\"]\"\" Figure Step 23[\/caption]\n

      Step 24<\/h2>\nUse the text editor to edit the text. (Figure Step 24)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"671\"]\"\" Figure Step 24[\/caption]\n

      Step 25<\/h2>\nIf required, change the text height to match the standards under \"AutoCAD book Standards: Filling in the Titleblock\". (Figure Step 25)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1043\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"668\"]\"\" Figure Step 25[\/caption]\n

      Key Principles in Module 20<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

      \n
        \n \t
      1. Objects only have to be drawn once in AutoCAD and then they can be used over and over again even if they are in a different drawing or at a different size or orientation.<\/li>\n \t
      2. When an object is copied, the copies retain all of the properties of the original object.<\/li>\n \t
      3. When copying objects from one drawing to another and the objects must be in the exact location as the original drawing, use the COPYBASE command with 0,0 as the base point. Use the same coordinates when pasting it into the new drawing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

        \n

        When you have completed this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Describe how to move and copy objects in the current drawing and from one drawing to another.<\/li>\n
        2. Apply the MOVE, COPY, COPYCLIP, PASTECLIP, and COPYBASE commands to move and copy objects in the current drawing plus copy objects from one drawing to another.<\/li>\n
        3. Apply the FILETAB and FILETABCLOSE commands to enable the display of the open drawing file tabs above the Graphic window.<\/li>\n
        4. Describe how to construct a tangent arc that has one end tangent to a line and other end going through a point.<\/li>\n
        5. Fill out titleblocks in Paper space using the AutoCAD 2D book Standards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Moving and Copying Objects<\/h1>\n

          One of the real benefits of using a CAD program is increasing your design and drawing productivity. Using the MOVE and COPY commands are a big part of that productivity. In AutoCAD, objects only have to be drawn once and then they can be used over and over again even if they are in a different drawing or at a different size or orientation. If an object has to be drawn that is similar to one that was previously drawn, simply copy it and change it. Using these principles in the your day-to-day work will noticeably increase your productivity.<\/p>\n

          MUST KNOW:<\/strong> When an object is copied, the copies retain all of the properties of the original object even the layer it resides on. This happens regardless of the current layer when the COPY command is executed.<\/div>\n
          MUST KNOW:<\/strong> Drawing objects only have to be drawn once in AutoCAD and then you can use them over and over. Their size and orientation are not important as they can easily be changed as you will see in future modules. If you have to draw an object that is similar to one you or someone else has drawn before, simply make a copy of it and make your changes. Drawing objects can be copied from one drawing to another.<\/div>\n

          2. Set layer Titleblock Text as the current layer.<\/li>\n

          4. Center the text by eye. It helps to use middle justified. Use the MOVE and ORTHO commands to make the job easier.<\/li>\n
          5. Fill in the bottom row with your actual name, the actual date, scale, drawing number, and sheet number.<\/li>\n
          6. The format of the date is: Month-Day-Year, MM-DD-YYYY For example: 01-20-2014 (For January 20, 2014)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n
              \n
            1. Objects only have to be drawn once in AutoCAD and then they can be used over and over again even if they are in a different drawing or at a different size or orientation.<\/li>\n
            2. When an object is copied, the copies retain all of the properties of the original object.<\/li>\n
            3. When copying objects from one drawing to another and the objects must be in the exact location as the original drawing, use the COPYBASE command with 0,0 as the base point. Use the same coordinates when pasting it into the new drawing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
