Drawing Lines In AutoCAD

In Autocad, you draw lines, whether, simple or spline curves to circles, by specifying points with the pointing device or by entering coordinate values at the command prompt.

To draw lines

1. Click Draw menu > Line.

2. At the Command prompt, enter line.

3. Specify the start point.
You can use the pointing device or enter coordinate values at the command prompt.

4. Complete the first line segment by specifying the endpoint.

5. To undo the previous line segment during the LINE command, enter u or click Undo on the toolbar.

6. Specify the endpoints of any additional line segments.

7. Press ENTER to end or c to close a series of line segments.

8. To start a new line at the endpoint of the last line drawn, start the LINE command again and press ENTER at the Specify Start Point prompt.
