Part of Lesson Plan: Creating a Coordinate Circle using AutoCAD

Activity Overview / Details

To start the lesson, the instructor will review layer set-up and the autoCAD commands that will be used. Additional information will include the polar coordinate system and the relationship to the Cartesian Coordinate Circle.

All students will open up the AutoCAD program and begin the set-up for drawing the circle. Students will use standard layers as specified by the instructor. Also included is an example layer sheet used in my classroom for their use. Upon finishing the drawing set-up, students will begin to draw a 8.5" x 11" size sheet with 1/2" border. When completed students will save their drawings as Cartesian Circle.
