When we convert a concept sketch of a component to a CAD drawing, the difference is dimensions. COncept drawings are usually made without specific dimensions. Care is taken, however, to keep up with the proportions, but there is no compulsion on drawing the component to scale.
When the same sketch has to be drafted on the CAD software, which in this case, is AutoCAD, it is important that we include explicit dimensions to every part of the draft of the component.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to add dimensions to a drawing in AutoCAD.
