Developing Drawing Strategies: Part 2 - AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011: No Experience Required - page 201

7. Hold the crosshair cursor directly to the right of the first point of the
line, and enter 2' ↵ ( 610 ↵ ) point.
8. Hold the crosshair cursor upward, and enter 4' ↵ ( 1220 ↵ ). At this
point, you have drawn two line segments defining the counter on the
back wall of the cabin. You can see the dimensions in Figure 5.40,
shown earlier.
9. Hold the cursor to the right again, and enter 5'1” ↵ ( 1550 ↵ ) to draw
the long counter line that runs in front of the sink.
10. Select the Perpendicular osnap and then pick the inside wall line, as
shown in Figure 5.43, to complete the counter. Press ↵ to end the
LINE command.
FiGuRE 5.43 Completing the counter
using offset and Fillet
As with launching commands, most tasks in AutoCAD give you options galore for
completing them. While some methods are viewed as being more efficient than
others, the “best” method is often a matter of personal preference. In this exercise,
you're going to draw the same counter you drew in the previous exercise, except
this time you will use the OFFSET and FILLET commands.
To complete this exercise, you'll need to erase the countertop you just drew.
You could use the ERASE command to do this, but because all four of the line
segments were drawn in one cycle of the LINE command, you can also use the
UNDO command.
