Drawing Tool Bar in Autocad
Drawing in AutoCAD primitive objects, complex objects
Drawing commands are basic commands when creating a drawing, because a simple project can be performed even without editing tools.
In this chapter, we will explore the AutoCAD Drawing Toolbar, which includes commands for drawing standard primitive objects: xline, ray, line, circle, rectangle etc., as well as drawing tools for creating complex objects: spline, ellipse, polyline etc. The "Drawing" section will also be of interest to users who are already working in the program, because the entire functionality of the drawing commandswill be parsed.
Here you will find illustrated articles, as well as video tutorials describing basic and advanced tools that allow you to draw in AutoCAD.
Stream/Video "Drawing Toolbar"
AutoCAD Drawing Toolbar
Basic drawing commands, as well as frequently used advanced drawing commands, are located on the Drawing toolbar. One Drawing toolbar in AutoCAD is built into the tool ribbon, and the second is a floating panel that can be fixed. How to work with toolbars и you can find customized panels in the section Customized settings.
Note
You can find AutoCAD drawing commands in the menu bar "Drawing".
A method for invoking drawing commands from the menu bar was distributed in older versions of the program using classic interface, although the line the menu can be displayed in new versions of the program.
AutoCAD's professional course involves studying a system that goes beyond the standard teaching material, so it's advisable to add the missing buttons for drawing commands to the panel drawing tools.
Commands to draw objects (drawings) in AutoCAD
You can call drawing commands in one of the following ways:
- from the menu bar, select Drawing - a drop-down list of commands for drawing objects (drawings)
- on the Home tab, the ribbon of tools is in the Drawing group.
By the "Drawing" group of the ribbon of tools, I mean the built-in toolbar of AutoCAD Drawing.
- on the Drawing toolbar.
- Or enter the command name on the command line.
Commands for drawing objects (drawings) in AutoCAD can be executed both in the preliminary mode and in the deferred mode select. However, there are exception commands, mostly advanced drawing commands:
Master the AutoCAD drawing panel on a professional level, good luck to you!

| AutoCAD drawing command | |
| Ellipse | |
 | |
| Definition | |
| An ellipse in AutoCAD is geometric figure, which by default is defined by two axes (the major and minor axis of ellipse). Note: program determines which axis is large and which is small, based on their relative length. If you set an equal length of axes of ellipse, you get circle, which is an ellipse object in AutoCAD. | |

| Command | |
| Ellipse | |
| Object | |
| Ellipse |
In two-dimensional design, Ellipse object in AutoCAD is used quite rarely, but quite often in isometric design. Ellipse team allows you to build circles in axonometry, since it has Izokrug tool in its functionality.
Command Ellipse
For creation of an ellipse in AutoCAD, command Ellipse/Ellipse is responsible, which can be called up in following ways (start its construction):
- You can build ellipses in AutoCAD from menu bar; select item Drawing - Ellipse line;

| Command | |
| Arc | |
| Object | |
| Arc |
Command Arc
For creation of arc in program, Arc command is responsible, which can be called in one of following ways (start building arc):

| Tool Straight line is cyclic command that allows you to build auxiliary lines (straight lines) starting at common point and endless in both directions. | |
| Command | |
| Xline | |
| Object | |
| Straight lin | |
| Line drawing commands | |
| Ray, Xline, Line, Polyline |
Old and new versions of program use Direct tool, which allows you to create auxiliary straight lines. In old versions of system, auxiliary lines were used extensively, so almost every drawing began with marking up Liszt (Model) space of future part, and then it was only encircled by segments, arcs and other objects. drawing was edited. In modern versions of system, any drawing can be drawn without using auxiliary straight lines in AutoCAD, because we have such powerful bindings and tracking tools at our disposal.

Object Spline in AutoCAD
| AutoCAD drawing command | |
| Spline | |
 | |
| Definition | |
| Spline in AutoCAD is smooth Bezier curve, which by default passes through specified points or deviates from them within tolerance. AutoCAD spline (complex) is piecewise smooth polynomial NURBS curve (NURBS - Non-Uniform Rational Bezier Spline) - non-uniform rational Bezier spline - Bezier curve, as special case of B-spline, passing near set of control points. | |
| Tool | |
| AutoCAD Spline tool is command that allows you to build smooth curves passing through specified points or near set of defining points, as well as defined vertices in shape and position tolerance. | |
| Command | |
| Spline | |
| Object | |
| Spline |
AutoCAD Spline Properties
Существует несколько типов сплайнов, но все они обладают аналогичными свойствами.
- The spline in AutoCAD is divided into segments (like polyline), which are called "nodes." If nodes (segments) are unevenly distributed along spline, then spline in AutoCAD is called non-uniform B-spline.
- To define shape of an AutoCAD spline, "defining points" and "control vertices" are used. defining points are by default on line of spline, and control vertices are outside it.
- Order of spline AutoCAD determines how many times its curvature can vary within one segment. curve of first order is straight line. curve of second order has constant curvature (arc). By default, spline in AutoCAD is combination of segments of 3-degree polynomial curves (also called "cubic curves" - they can have one curvature change per segment. Fourth-order curves - two changes, etc., you can bring its value to 10.
The Spline AutoCAD tool is optimized for use in modeling NURBS surfaces.
Command Spline
The Spline command is responsible for building spline in program. Call which you can (start building spline):
