How to Draw a Rhombus in Autocad

Create circles, ellipses, rectangles, slots, polygons, fillets, and chamfers.

When creating 2D shape geometry, first select a part face or work plane to use as the sketch plane. In an empty file, select the sketch plane and then start to sketch.

Create Circles

The circle tools create circular shapes either from a center point and radius, or tangent to three lines.

1. Click Sketch tab Create panel and choose one of the following:
2. Click in the graphics window to set the circle points or tangent lines.
3. Move the cursor to preview the circle radius or tangent lines.
4. Continue to create circles as needed.
5. To quit, press Esc or click another command.

Create Ellipses

The Ellipse tool creates an elliptical shape with a center point, a major axis, and a minor axis that you define. You can trim and extend ellipses like any other curve.

1. Click Sketch tab Create panel Ellipse .
2. In the graphics window, click to create the ellipse center point.
3. Move the cursor in the direction of the first axis, indicated by a centerline. Click to set the direction and length of the axis.
4. Move the cursor to preview the length of the second axis, and click to create the ellipse.
5. To quit, press Esc or click another command.

   Tip: You can use Offset to create an offset from an ellipse. The result is either a mathematical ellipse or an associative spline, depending on the selection point: If the axis is visible, the offset is an ellipse; if the axis is not visible, the offset is a spline.

Create Rectangles

The rectangle tools create rectangles from a corner or center point in two or three clicks.

1. Click Sketch tab Create paneland choose one of the following:
   • Two Point Rectangle. Creates a rectangle using two clicks that define diagonal corner points. Two-point rectangles are aligned with the sketch coordinate system.
   • Three Point Rectangle . Creates a rectangle by defining the length, direction, and the adjacent side. The first click sets a corner, the second click sets the direction and distance of one side, and the third click sets the distance of the adjacent side. A three-point rectangle can have any alignment.
   • Two Point Center Rectangle . Creates a rectangle by defining the center, width, and length of the shape. The first click sets the center point; the second click sets a corner.
   • Three Point Center Rectangle . Creates a rectangle by defining the center, direction, and the adjacent side. The first click sets the center, the second click sets the direction and distance of one side, and the third click sets the distance of the adjacent side.
2. Click in the graphics window to set the first point.
3. Move the cursor and click to set the second and third points, depending on the type of rectangle you're drawing.
4. To quit, press Esc or click another command.

Create Slots

1. Click Sketch tab Create panel and choose one of the following:
2. Click in the graphics window to set the first point.
3. Move the cursor and click to set the second, third, and fourth points, depending on the type of slot you're drawing. Alternatively, enter the values in the edit field or right-click and enter a value.
4. To quit, press Esc or click another command.

Create Fillets

The Fillet tool creates rounded corners (vertices) at the intersection of two selected lines. You specify the radius of the fillet arc, which is tangent to the curves trimmed or extended by the fillet. You can create fillets on perpendicular or parallel lines, concentric arcs, intersecting and nonintersecting arcs, elliptical arcs, splines, or between arcs and lines.

1. Click Sketch tab Create panel Fillet .
2. In the graphics window, select the lines that you want to fillet.
3. In the 2D Fillet dialog box, enter a Radius. and click Equal to create fillets with equal radii.

   To preview the fillet, move the cursor over an endpoint shared by two lines.

   Note: Intersecting lines are trimmed to the ends of the fillet arc.

4. (Optional) Enter a different radius. The radius remains in effect until you change it.
5. Continue to select lines to fillet, as needed.
6. To quit, press Esc, click another command, or close the 2D Fillet dialog box.
