How to draw quickly

The ability to perform and read drawings is required from representatives of many professions. An engineer of any specialization is constantly required. Meanwhile, schoolchildren and even students of technical universities often regard drawing as something boring and boring. Of course, this activity requires patience and accuracy. Modern computer programs make it possible to dispense with the compass and the raiser. However, it often happens that a computer not only does not accelerate, but even slows down the process.

You will need

• - drawing accessories;

• - A computer with AutoCAD or another drawing program.

The classic "paper" drawing can also be done quickly or slowly, while it is not at all a fact that speed will certainly lead to sloppiness. Very often it is just the opposite. To draw faster, you must first take care of the quality of the tools. Correctly fix the tire. If you use a small A4 drawing board, check the angle. An experienced draftsman can also use a raiser with a roller, but in this case, it is necessary to strictly monitor that it moves smoothly and without jerking.

T-square provides parallel lines, but only in one direction. Either these are horizontal lines, or horizontal. If you are just starting to master this craft and prefer the classic way to a computer program, mark the opposite sides of the sheet with dots. For sheet A4, you can take a distance of 0.5 cm, for format A3 you can take a step and more. reference point.

3

Do not draw a part or plan in parts. If one edge of the object is strictly horizontal, but has recesses or protrusions, immediately postpone the dimensions of all segments lying on one straight line. The field on which the part is located is generally better marked out immediately both vertically and horizontally. Then it remains only to connect the dots, which will significantly speed up the process.

4

If you need to draw ink on the drawing, select rulers and squares that are sufficiently thick and at the same time fit snugly against the sheet. Of course, the raiser must also lie tight, otherwise the mascara will flow under the ruler. Immediately adjust the line thickness so that it meets the standards.

A computer program can significantly accelerate the work of even the most skilled draftsman. First of all, you need to choose the software that suits your particular needs. For example, AutoCAD can be “sharpened” for architecture, engineering, etc. In order to tailor the standard program for a specific task, find and install the necessary applications.

6

The program needs to be studied. This, of course, can be done according to the textbook. But it’s better to take some ready-made drawing and experiment with it. First, go through all the tabs of the main menu and see what opportunities you have. Try each option. A line, circle, or polygon can be specified in several ways, while options can also be specified in different ways. There are popup windows and a command line for this.

7

Adapt AutoCAD to your car and your needs. Set hotkeys that allow any frequently repeated operations to be carried out with a flick of the wrist. Set the functions of the right mouse button. In the program, you can configure other parameters, depending on specific tasks. Arrange the toolbars that are convenient for you. Set the working field - for example, you can set the color for it. Understand the scale.

eight

Learn to use the built-in calculator. This will significantly reduce the time that is usually spent on calculations. You are only required to enter the data, and then the program will do everything itself, and not only will it calculate, but also draw.

9

Many drawings consist of repeating fragments. These parts can be of the same shape, but of different sizes. Learn to copy, paste, and scale images.

ten

Learn how to work with layers. Often, the process is extremely slow precisely because the user has lost the line just drawn. Learn not to panic over such trifles. You will certainly find the necessary line if you look at which layers you worked in.

eleven

AutoCAD allows you to work with both the whole image and fragments. An object can be cut or stretched, not to mention moving it from one place to another. Having mastered these additional features, you will learn how to quickly navigate the program and quickly make any drawing. In any case, the computer program has many advantages over the Kuhlmann. It will be much easier for you to change the project or improve some detail.
