Week 2

DYNMODE- Turns dynamic input on or off. (Relative or Absolute)
LAYERDLGMODE- Sets the layer manager dialog wich will be used for the layer command.
ZOOMFACTOR- It adjust the zoom strength on the mouse wheel. The settings are between 3 and 100 with 100 having the greatest effect.
DYNPICOORDS- Controls wether the pointer uses relative or absolute format for coordinates.

This week i learned about dynamic input and how it allows you to draw lines in a variety of ways. You can draw lines by plotting from the origin or from the last point. You can also type in angles for your lines. I also learned about layers and the different features you can use on them. Features such as type of lines you wanna use, locking a layer so your not allowed to draw on it, you can make a layer printable or unprintable and you can adjust the dimness of a layer as well.

Drafting Week 1

This week i learned how to navigate the ribbon on autocad and learned a few of the buttons and their functions. I learned that there are six essential buttons that will help you draw anything on autocad.

DWG- Is the format in which autoCAD saves its files.  This format may help you open up drawings from the older software into the newer ones.

DXF- Is a format in which it allows you to operate autocad in other programs.

DWF- A lightweight drawing file format for posting drawings on the Web or sharing them with people who dont have AutoCad.

BAK- Files in Autocad created in the save commands. You may also convert BAK files to DWG.
