Watch the command line. The command line at times displays additional information about the current command that’s not displayed in the Dynamic Input tooltip. This information might be the current text style or justification, or the active extend mode. I cover using the command line in ssss1.
Organize objects on layers. All the objects you draw should be placed on specific layers. For example, annotation objects that communicate design information might be placed on a Notes layer, and the lines that are used to represent a wall might be placed on a Walls layer. I cover layers in ssss1.
Introducing the Straight-Line Drawing Commands
As I harp on elsewhere in this book, CAD programs are designed for precision drawing, and you’ll spend a lot of time in AutoCAD drawing objects composed of straight-line segments. The rest of this chapter covers these commands, all of which are found on the Draw panel of the Home tab on the Ribbon. The icons in the left margin match those on the Ribbon:
Line: Draws a series of one or more visually connected straight-line segments; that is, the end of the current segment has the same coordinates as the start of the next segment. Although the lines look like they're physically connected, each segment (piece of a line with endpoints) is in fact a separate object with its own start and endpoints.
