Learning about Modify Commands

So, now that the basics have been covered, we will step into the advanced draw and modify tools and explore more of the AutoCAD features. The tools and commands that we will discuss in this chapter include Object Snap toggles that help in making precise drawings and advanced drawing tools such as construction lines and ellipses. We will also learn about complex shapes, such as splines, and modify tools such as offset, stretch, and chamfer.

At the end of this section, you will be able to work with complex drawings and you will also be equipped with the tools required to create precise drawings in AutoCAD.

The following are the topics covered in this chapter:

• Using Object Snap, Object Snap override, and Object Snap tracking
• Ellipses and construction lines
• Revision clouds
• Region, Point, and Point style
• Working with Spline
• More Modify commands

Before we begin with more draw commands, it is necessary for us to understand Object Snap and its application in a drawing.
