Autocad 2d And Autocad Electrical 2017

Lines and Polylines Preview 02:48

Lines and Polylines are quite different. The line tool will help us to create simple lines, which is not connected together. But the polyline tool will help us to draw lines and arcs and the final result will be a connected object.

Circles and Arcs Preview 03:53

In this lecture, we will learn how to create circles and arcs. They’re many types of them and we will see them and learn how to follow the steps of each type to get the correct form.

Move, Copy and Offset Commands Preview 04:11

In this lecture we will learn 3 new commands, about moving an object, copying an object, and create a parallel surface to it using the Offset tool.

Rotate, Scale and Mirror Commands Preview 03:50

The Rotate command will help us to rotate an object in different angles, and the scaling command will create a bigger or smaller object of the original according to a scaling factor provided by designers. Mirroring will create a reflex of an object according to a mirror.

Fillet and Chamfer Preview 02:15

Fillet command will create a rounded corner between two objects that we already specified. A Chamfer command will create a corner or it will connect the objects with a line.

Arrays Preview 02:50

AutoCAD contain multiple types of arrays, we have the rectangular arrays, the polar arrays, and we can create arrays according to a path using the ARRAYPATH command.

Hatch and Explode Preview 02:44

Hatch and Gradient commands will add colors, or colored lines inside a closed object. Explode command will disconnect an object into several pieces.

Trim and Extend Preview 02:00

Trim command will cut a piece of an object that sits between multiple forms that we already specified. The Extend command is the opposite, where we can connect those objects again.

Layers and dimensions Preview 02:01

Layers are important in AutoCAD, and each type of object that we add in a drawing, should be added to the same layer. The dimension tool will help us to create a precise design.

Introduction and Areas Preview 05:48

In this lecture, we will work on dividing a specific area into several rooms.

Stairs Preview 03:01

In this lecture, we will learn how to add a stair in a drawing.

Walls Preview 04:09

We are going to draw walls using the offset method, with a specific width.

Door and Hinges Preview 07:03

In this lecture, we will create a new block. It will be a door with hinges and we will add it in different places on the map.

Windows Preview 06:09

Another block will be drawn, which is the window block. Don’t forget that each part of the map should be on a separate layer.

Dimensions Preview 05:14

We will take the dimensions of all the drawing so we can start with the front view map.

Front View Map Preview 09:01

So after taking the dimensions, each facility has 4 front views. We will draw one of those fronts in this lecture.

Printing Preview 02:37

In this lecture, we will use the PRINT Command and change the initial setups.

Introduction to Project Preview 04:53

In this lecture, we will decompose the 2D blueprint of the bent pipe joint and start with drawing a circle with 2 lines with an angle of 45 degrees.

Drawing the initial rectangles Preview 02:07

The next step is by adding two rectangles on the midpoint of each of the lines that we already created in the previous lecture.

Creating the arc offsets Preview 02:40

In this lecture, we are going to use the offset tool to create the 4 arcs according the center arc.

Trimming Preview 03:01

In this lecture, we are going to add the smaller rectangle that actually exist on the bottom rectangle with a dimension of 10mm by 130mm.

Filleting Preview 04:12

The final step is by creating the fillet of the corners, and adding the hatches inside the outer closed areas.

The start point Preview 06:50

Always, the first step is a little bit hard. So, let’s decompose the shape into small pieces and set a start point. 

Creating the inner form Preview 05:14

In this lecture, we will add all the circles, which are distributed according to the initial dimensions of 1875 and 750 that are shown on the original shape.

Creating the outer part Preview 03:50

At this final step, we will create the fillets between arcs according to specific radius.

Polar Array of the object Preview 05:22

In this lecture, we will create 3 circles, and a polar array of a small circle, according to specific dimensions.

Part 2 Preview 03:15

In this part, we are going to add the outer circles of the shape.

The tricky final part Preview 03:17

This final part, we will be a little bit tricky. We are going to add new circles, so we can add a fillet between the arcs.

Introduction Preview 04:42

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to set our electrical drawing values, and what forms to use when we have a crossing wires. Plus a simple introduction about the schematic tab and what we can do with it.

Ladders Preview 10:09

In this lecture, we will use the AELADDER command to start adding ladders into our drawings. We will learn how to add the rungs, and how to change the setting of it according to our needs.

Buses Preview 03:17

Buses are not a structural component in electricity. It is a few wires that connecting component between each of them and helps to conduct the current.

Symbol Builder – Exercise Preview 06:25

In this exercise, we are going to draw from scratch a 2D shape of a light switch. Then we will convert into an electric symbol by using the symbol library tool. In this lecture, you will learn different new type of commands.

Symbol Builder – Part 2 Preview 04:43

In this lecture, we will use the symbol builder tool, to ad information to our 2D shape, so we can use it as an electrical component. We will add a Tag, a manufacturer, and more info.

Symbol Builder – Part 3 Preview 02:21

In this lecture, we will use the symbol builder tool, to ad information to our 2D shape, so we can use it as an electrical component. We will add a Tag, a manufacturer, and more info.

Symbol Builder – Adding a Catalog Preview 02:37

In this lecture, we will create a new catalog for our new electrical symbol.

Connectors Preview 03:28

We can add different type of connectors using AutoCAD, with a different number of pins.

PLC Preview 04:55

In this lecture, we will take an introduction about PLCs and how to add them into our drawings and set their wirings.

Parents and Child Preview 02:01

In this lecture, we will learn how to connect an electrical component as a child of another electrical component (Parent), and we will take a real life example about it.

Panels Preview 03:01

In this lecture, we will take a basic introduction about electrical panels and how we can add one of them into a drawing.

Enclosures and Nameplates Preview 03:09

In this lecture, we are going to add enclosures and nameplates. An enclosure is the frames of the electrical panels. And they have different sizes.

Adding components Preview 05:19

In this lecture, we will add circuit breakers CB, and learn how to connect electric component into a specific CB.

Generate Reports Preview 03:00

In this lecture we will see how to generate a report that contains the entire component that we worked with in our drawings.

Preparing Components Preview 01:47

In this lecture, we are going to prepare our workspace to start adding electrical plan components into the house map that we’ve already created in project 1.

Adding a panel Preview 05:25

The first step of this project is to add a panel with some circuit breakers, and chose a catalog number to each component. We will add a master circuit breaker that controls the entire electrical plan.

Wiring – Bells and Panels Preview 05:20

In this lecture, we all add a bell to the entrance door and connect it to its circuit breaker.
