4. Press enter or escape to finish the drawing of the line.

How to draw a line with coordinates, azimuth and a specific length (polar coordinates)

To put this tutorial into practice, let's use the sample data below:

Coordinate point A = 635400,1785100

AB length = 100 meters

Azimut ab = 60d50'10 "

The first step to create a line from the previous data is to establish the drawing units and management control, how:

1. Click the Format menu. Then select units or you can also write units in the command.

2. In the Drawing Units dialog box, make the following configuration.

In the length section. Write select decimal and precision Select 0.00

In the angle section. Write Select Deg/Min/Se | Precision Select 0D00'00 ”| Make sure the box is marked.

On the insertion scale, select meters.

Click the Instructions button. In the steering control dialog box, in the base angle section, select to the north. Then click OK.

Click OK to finish the configuration of drawing units.

How to print in Autocad in the design according to the scale and without frames or the copy

1. Prepare the image that will be printed on the model.

2. Verify or specify the unit used in the model drawing. The trick in the command can write the units command and then enter. In the Drawing Units dialog, section insertion scale, see or select the unit that will be used. For example, use meters.

In the Printer/Platterter section, select the name of the printer that will be used. If you don't know what a printer use, you can first select DWF6 ELLOT.

In the paper size section, select a paper size. For my example, I chose ISO expanding A3 (297.00 x 420.00 mm).

In the section of the plot scale, select mm and filling unit 1.

In the drawing orientation section, select a paper orientation. For the example, I chose the landscape option.

For the rest, leave it as it is and the results of the configuration I do, seem the image below.

If set as shown above, you can click OK.

7. In the page configuration setting dialog box, click on the Close button.

Grades:

The 1: 100 scale is the view scale. Not the real scale on the ground.

To find out the real scale, the paper distance unit must be compared to the model of model image distance (paper unit: model drawing unit).

For example, the paper unit that uses is mm (step number 6) and the drawing unit of the model I use is meters (step number 2).

Then, when I select the scale of the 1: 100 graphic window, it means 1 mm: 100 m or if the unit is 1 mm: 100000 mm (1 m = 1000 mm). This is the true scale of 1: 100,000.

12. To finish the scale, double click outside the box.

13. To print or print a ready -to -design image, you can click on the File Menu> Draw or press the Ctrl+P keys on the keyboard.
