Chapter 19 Exercise 7 1. Open AutoCAD 2012 with a double-click on its shortcut icon in the Windows desktop. 2. Open the template acadiso3d.dwt. 3. In the Front view left-click Insert from the menu bar and from the Insert drop-down menu click Raster Image Reference... From the Select Reference File dialog whic h appears, select the larger bitmap. 4. Press the F3 keyboard key to set Osnap on. Then using the Distance tool measure the height and width of the bitmap and make a note of the measurements so found - as follows: Command: enter di rigth-click DIST Specify first point: pick the top left-hand corner of the bitmap Specify second point or [Multiple points]: pick the bottom left-hand corner of the bitmap Distance = 88.3, Angle in XY Plane = 270, Angle from XY Plane = 0 Delta X = 0.0, Delta Y = 88.3, Delta Z = 0.0 Command: 5. Repeat to obtain the width of the bitmap. 6. In the Top view construct the pline outline as shown. Note that this outline is a section of the moulding for the picture frame and is in proportion to the sizes of the bitmap. Its sizes may vary according to the sizes of the bitmap. 7. Move the pline so fit against the b itmap and extrude it to a height of 95.5. Note this allows for the depth of the rebate in the moulding. With the Mirror toolmirror the extrusion to obtain the other side of the frame 8. In the Right view construct the pline again and extrude it to a height of the width of the bitmap plus an allowancce for the rebate. Mirror the extrusion so as to obtain the other edhe of the frame. 9. In the South West Isometric view and with osnap set on, with the Move tool, move the four members of teh farme to their correct poisitions as regards the required frame. 10. With the Union tool form a union of th four members of the frame. Material accompanying Introduction to AutoCAD 2012, ISBN 9780080969473. Copyright 2011, Alf Yarwood.
11. Place the frame with its bitmap in the Visual Styles/Shaded view. The result is as shown. 12. Follwing a similar routine construct a farem for the second bitmap, remembering that, because the picture irself is smaller a smaller section for the farmework will be necessary. The reslt is as shown. Additional exercises 1. Working to the details given in the two-view projection below construct the 3D solid model drawing as indicated in the illustration to the right.
