AutoCAD is
a well-known CAD application mostly used for preparing 2D and 3D drafts,
blueprints, architectural drawings, mechanical and engineering plans.
This tool is stated as the foundation building tool
for all aspirants who want to enter in the field of architectural designing,
civil engineering, and mechanical designing.
If you want to learn this application as per
mechanical designing point of view then you need to be very selective and
should go for best AutoCAD training
institute like CTI in order to attain professional AutoCAD training courses.
So, lets come to the point. In this blog we are
going to cover the most important commands and terms that one should while
learning AutoCAD Mechanical.

Command: ‘J’ Enter
5. Extend: - This command is use to

edge. Short Command: ‘EX’ Enter
6. Trim: - This command is use to erase a
portion of the selected object that crosses a specified edge. Short Command: ‘T’ Enter
7. Spline: - We can use this command to making smooth curve and can be constructed along specific points. Short Command: SPL’ Enter
8. Multiline: - In this command we can
create multi-parallel straight line. Short
Command: ‘ML’ Enter
9. Hatch: - Hatch is used to filling of an area of an object so that it is distinguished from another object. Short Command: ‘H’ Enter
10. Gradient: - Gradient is used to create a

highlight the area of the revision cloud. It is a series of arc formed to create
a revision cloud. Short Command: ‘REVCLOUD’
Enter
12. Insert: - Insert is use to insert the

Command: ‘CO’ Enter
14. Move: - By using move we select an
object then select its base point and move it to the require position and
direction. Short Command: ‘M’ Enter
16. Extend: - By using the command extend we
can elongate or say lengthen a line arc or polyline to meet a specified
boundary edge. Short Command: ‘EX’ Enter
So, these were some important commands and
terms that you should know while learning AutoCAD Mechanical.
