Aim:

To create the following residential plan in AutoCAD.

Introduction:

AutoCAD is used to create computer-aided designs or software applications including drafting.

The following commands and tools are used for this layout.

Line: It helps to create a line between two points
X line: It is the construction line of infinite length which created vertically, horizontally and also at an inclined angle
Rectangle: It helps to create a four-sided geometry with a desired length and width.
Offset: It helps to offset an object at a particular distance.
Move: It helps to move an already existing object from one point to the other by picking a base point.
Copy: It helps to copy an already existing object from one point to the other by picking a base point.
Trim: It helps to trim off the extra lines or objects of a selected object which is created while using other tools.
Erase: It helps to erase a selected object.

Note:

Keep Ortho on and Object snap on which are in the status bar throughout the drawing which helps to find midpoint, center point and so on.
