READ MORE ABOUT THIS CHAPTER :
The LINE command in AutoCAD is one of the most basic and widely used commands in the software, allowing users to create simple straight line segments. Here's a detailed description of how it works:

Purpose:

The LINE command is used to draw straight line segments between specified points in the drawing. Each line segment is defined by a start point and an endpoint, and multiple connected line segments can be created in a single execution of the command.

Command Access:

You can access the LINE command by typing LINE or just L in the command prompt and pressing Enter.

It can also be accessed through the Draw toolbar or ribbon.
Steps to Use the LINE Command:

1. Start the Command:

Type LINE or L and press Enter.

Alternatively, click on the Line icon from the Draw toolbar or ribbon.
2. Specify the Start Point:

After starting the command, AutoCAD will prompt: Specify first point:

Click on the drawing area to specify the first point or enter the coordinates manually.
3. Specify the Next Point:

AutoCAD will then prompt: Specify next point:

Click another location or type in the coordinates to specify the next point.

You can continue clicking or entering points to create multiple connected line segments.
4. Complete the Line:

To finish the line, press Enter or Esc after selecting the last point.

You can also press C and then Enter to close the line back to the starting point, creating a closed shape.
Key Features and Options:

Undo (U): You can type U at any time to undo the last line segment.

Close (C): Typing C allows you to close the shape by connecting the last point to the first point, forming a polygon.

Coordinate Input: You can specify points by typing exact coordinates in the format (X, Y) or (X, Y, Z) for 3D spaces.

Polar Tracking: AutoCAD will provide polar tracking (alignment at specific angles) as you move the cursor, allowing you to easily create lines at predefined angles (e.g., 0°, 45°, 90°).
Additional Tips:

Direct Distance Entry: If you're drawing a line at a specific angle, you can use direct distance entry. After specifying the first point, move the cursor in the desired direction, and type the length of the line segment.

Ortho Mode (F8): Turning on Ortho Mode will restrict the line movement to 90-degree increments (horizontal or vertical lines only).

Object Snap (OSNAP): Using object snap will help you precisely connect lines to other objects (such as endpoints, midpoints, or intersections of other lines).
Applications:

Drawing the boundaries of objects such as walls, structural elements, or any part that can be represented by straight lines.

Sketching out basic geometric shapes before using more advanced AutoCAD commands to modify the shape.

Creating guidelines, grids, or reference lines for more complex designs.
Common Uses of the Line Command in Architecture:

Drafting floor plans and elevations.

Creating reference lines for walls, windows, and doors.

Drawing beams, columns, or other structural elements.
In summary, the LINE command is fundamental for creating geometric shapes and designs in AutoCAD, forming the basis for most drawings. It can be combined with other commands for more complex constructions.
