AutoCAD Blog | Autodesk: I was recently challenged with creating an AutoCAD drawing from this AutoCAD 35 Year logo. Since all I had was a raster image, I attached it to a new drawing and began to trace. At first it was quite easy because, well, I started with the easy geometry… the straight lines! However, it soon became more challenging as I tried to match the curves between the various line segments.

So I was honestly looking for a little bit more out of this article. Mostly because I feel that I am in no position in my CAD experience where I can turn down more advice, but when the article just gave the one tip rather than going through multiple different things I was a little disappointed. Add to the fact that this managed to be one of the few things that I have managed to learn how to do with auto CAD already and it just seem like the article was a little lack luster. But all that being said I most definitely will be keep my ear to the ground for more articles to come out cause I feel this was just a sad fluke in finding an CAD article where I managed to already know the concept. Well here's to hoping to learn more in the future I guess.
There isn’t a whole lot to this particular tip. I haven’t used the blend command, so I can’t really speak its functionality or ease of use. What I will say is that there is typically more than one way to do something in AutoCAD. In this case, one might be able to draw a regular shape, like a circle, ellipse, or arc to get the basic shape. Then, using the trim command pare down to the exact image that you want. One might also be able to use the fillet command to get the desired curves. As good as this tip is, a video along with the written information would help greatly. Especially when looking at the different ways the blend command can combine objects. I get the feeling that using this tool takes a fair amount of practice to get the right points, lines and curves to achieve a certain look.
