In most of your drawings, you will find the same set of objects repeated over and over again in patterns. You will also notice that in many drawings, some of the objects can be reused, such as furniture, doors, or windows. Typically, we convert these objects into named objects in AutoCAD called blocks, and then we use them wherever required. This chapter is all about making these patterns and reusable objects. We will begin this chapter with some advanced status bar modes, such as grid and snap, and then we will move on to learning about Arrays, as well as making and modifying blocks. Later in this chapter, we will also learn how to create groups and blocks containing attributes.
Here is what we will cover in this chapter:
- Advanced status bar modes
- Making Arrays
- Working with blocks
- Learning how to use groups
- Working with attributes
