The talent I will sharing with us today is drawing using Autodesk AutoCAD 2022. AutoCAD is a computer software that can be used to design almost any Engineering and Architecture design. It is mostly use after an idea is been develop either on paper or off hand. It is a versatile application which can be used in many difference ways.

I briefly learn how to use AutoCAD in school because of how useful it will be for us engineers in the future but due to time, we are told to learn more about it off class and that is exactly what I did. I check some online videos to improve my knowledge on different functions and I play around with difference command to see how to use them. I can now confidently say I have truly master the software and can now design any equipment/machine in order to solve a problem.

In this post I choose a simple design due to length of the post and time it will take my readers. So I decide to draw a common object found in everyone’s home which is a table and I will be explaining in details the step by step procedure how I went about it.

• Step 1

I imagine the shape of a table and started by drawing the top of the table. I use box to design the top because it is the perfect shape for this job. Although, you can draw box in difference way but I choose the simple method by clicking on box on my modeling ribbon.

• Step 2

After completing my table top, the next step is to add the table legs. So I used box to create the table leg on one side first.

As seen above, after tilting the image on one side to see the table legs clearly it appear to be at the top of the table so what I do is to click the property of the leg and add a minus (-) sign in front of it to change the direction to the opposite side.

• Step 3

When the leg is properly fixed, I copied it to the other leg position of the table.

As seen below the legs are well positioned.

• Step 4

The step is I want a design at the top of the table so I went for simple design by creating about similar box at the top of the table so it will look like two different material is use to create the top of the table.

This is done by copying the table top into two and reducing the size of one so it can form two different layers. Here is how it been created.

Now the table is completed let take a look at it in different view.

The images are in hidden and sketchy view.

Let look at how it will look like after we print it out.

I added the steemit weasell to show this is truly my design.

Here are other project I have design in the past

I recently design an electric drying in drying fruit and vegetables for a contest. Here is the link to the post.

Conclusion

There are different way to draw using AutoCAD it just depend on how well you understand the application and I have been learning my way round it for over 3 years now and I can say it comes naturally when drawing on AutoCAD. I find it very easy which most of my friend don’t so that means I consider it a natural talent.

Thank you all for reading.
