AutoCAD 3D commands with keyboard shortcuts.

AutoCAD 3D commands with keyboard shortcuts.

AutoCAD 

AutoCAD is a three-dimensional software used by architectures and designers around the world.

 When working in 2D the user only cares about the X and Y axis and most of the time coordinates are not used.  Where as, when working with 3D, the user uses all the coordinates which can even make their work much easier.

  What is meaning of 2D and 3D ? 

2D  (Two dimensions  x and y.)



 A two-dimensional  shape has only two measurements, such as length and height. 

 For Example :- Rectangle, triangle, Circle etc. 

3D  (Three dimensions x, y and z.)


 A three-dimensional  shape has three measurements, such as length, width, and height.

 For Example :- Cube, sphere, cone, cylinder  Etc.

 6.  TORUS                    TOR

  • BOX



      Using this command you can create a box with length, width and hight values you specify. 

  • SPHERE 

       Using this command you can create a sphere  with radius and diameter value specify. 

  • CYLINDER 


       You can create a cylinder using this command.  The cylinder was created using a center point (1), a point at radius (2) and a point for height

  • CONE 


Using this command you can a creates a 3D solid with a circular or elliptical base that tapers symmetrically to a point or to a circular or elliptical planar face.

  • WEDGE 

           Using this command you can make a wedge shaped 3D solid.  

  • TORUS   

   Using this command you can create a torus by specifying the center point , then the radius or diameterof torus , and then the radius or diameter of tube. 

Important 3D commands 


  • EXTRUDE 


   The Extrude command is used to create a 3D solid from an object that enclosed an area.

 Keyboard shortcut  = EXT

  • SUBTRACT        

          Using this command you can subtract any overlapping object.Type 'SUB' and press Enter. Then Select the objects, and press Enter, then select the objects that you want to subtract. 

Keyboard shortcut = SUB

  • UNION

    The Union command creates one solid object from two or more solid objects. 

1. Type 'UNI'  PRESS <enter>

2. Select the objects to be combined <enter>

  • SWEEP 

Using this command you can create an 3D solid from 2D object. 

1. Type 'SWEEP'  PRESS <enter>

 2. Select object to be sweep <enter>

3. Select path <enter>

  • SECTION PLANE

            The SECTION PLANE command creates a section of object  that acts as a cutting plane through the 3D model . AutoCAD calls this command “ Live sectioning. 

 Keyboard shortcut = SECTIONPLANE

  • PRESSPULL

               Using  PRESSPULL   command you can create a region and Extrude a closed shape. You may also use it modify hight of an all ready extruded objects. 

Keyboard shortcut = PRESSPULL

  • REVOLVE 

        The REVOLVE command allows you to resolve  a profie around an axis. 
1. Type 'REV', press <enter>

2. Select object to revolve <entet>

3. Specific axis start point or define axis. 

4. Specific angle of revolution. 

Keyboard shortcuts =REV

  • INTERSECTION  

     Shared  space by two objects is called intersection.  This command allows you  to create a solid from this shared space. 

 1. Type 'IN'  Press <enter>

 2. Select objects. 

3. Press <enter>

Keyboard shortcuts =IN
