BO BOUNDARY - selecting internal point to create a region/boundary
EXT EXTRUDE - extruding a shape to give it height/length
UNI UNION - combining two solids together
SUB SUBTRACT - subtracting one object from another

SETTING KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Choose Express > Tools > Command Alias Editor
 (create a personal shortcut, ex: psolid to become pso as personal shortcut)

---

SOLIDEDIT - editing an already created solid
     FACE

Choosing lines or plines to form a region vs. selecting internal point (BO).
REG REGION - selecting lines to define a region
(2nd option create lines to be a shape beside boundary)


Start creating walls immediately.
PSOLID - creating solid walls, set height, set width
     SET WIDTH
     SET HEIGHT

---

Create unusual surfaces by drawing a profile of your object.
REVSURF - revolve to create surfaces, use front/back view

Set the following:
SURFTAB1 - viewing of how many facets, how smooth the object looks = 24
SURFTAB2 - viewing of how many faces, how smooth the object looks = 24
 (1 is for REVSURF, 2 is for REVOLVE)

1. SET VIEW TO FRONT VIEW
2. DRAW A PLINE
3. DRAW A SECOND LINE TO DEFINE AXIS OF ROTATION
4. USE COMMAND REVSURF
1. Select Object to revolve
2. Select line of axis
3. Keep default of rotation 0
4. Set amount of revolution, up to 360

Create unusual forms by drawing a profile of your object. 
REVOLVE - revolve to create solid forms
SURFTAB1 - viewing of how many facets, how smooth the object looks = 24
SURFTAB2 - viewing of how many faces, how smooth the object looks = 24

1. Create closed shape using PLINE and CLOSE the object.
2. Use command REGION to select lines to form shape.
3. Draw a second line to define axis of rotation
4. Use REVOLVE command
1. Select Object to revolve
2. Select Object to use for rotation
3. Set the revolution, up to 360

can type comma to sepreate each new layer

anytime when type space, means enter

to create more than one layer in once
in notepad:

no space after comma

different color, linetype, anything is different, using different layer
can be create a lot of layers in autocad

0 layer and the current layer will never be deleted

click on the object
command: li (list) - select object - enter
then will shows the info of the object

EX EXPLODE
F FILLET
I INSERT (BLOCK)
L LINE (every line has endpoint 'E' and midpoint 'M' - OSNAP / always can set the points / click a point bewteen endpoint and midpoint)
LA LAYER (means including name, color and linetype) (name has discipline 'AEMPSCI', e/n which means new using "-" and item '3or4 letter only, for example: Aewall/ A-flr/ Axwall) (color has line, thickness 1-7, 250-255 grayscale ) (linetype - we load the linetype to assign to layer)
M MIRROR (mirrior means reflection, can be vertically and horizontally)
we don't need to show inch, for example: 12feet - we type 12 only. 2feet5inches - we type 2'5
PL PLINE
PE PEDIT
T TRIM (cut, select the thing that you trim and you trim with)
