If in 2D: Step1: Figure out what size pipe your 'U' bolt will encompass, then draw a circle with the same diameter as the pipe it will go around. From two opposite quadrants of the circle draw a line extending in the same direction (these will be the threaded portions - so you must know how long those are to be). Trim the unnecessary portion of the circle, and join all three segments using the PEDIT command. Step 2: Figure out the diameter of your bolt, and offset the joined line that distance. From there, you will have to draw the threaded portion (diagonal lines). If in 3D: Use Step 1 from the 2D process ... Step 2: Extrude a circle, the same diameter of your bolt along the path created by the polyline This will get you started - there can be many more steps, depending on how much detail you are trying to achieve. ~ M.

What is the difference between autocad operator job and autocad draftsman job?

In my opinion, and this is what we implemented in our company, an AutoCAD operator is a person who has a basic knowledge of how to operate the AutoCAD program. This person has done an entry level AutoCAD course and knows how to draw lines etc. in the CAD program. An AutoCAD draftsman is a person that also knows how to operate the AutoCAD program but is also proficient in composing technical drawings. (e.g. have a good understanding of scales, projections, sections, etc.) We based these different descriptions on pre AutoCAD times. Any person can draw lines or circles on paper with a pen, but you had to do technical drawing courses to become a draftsperson.
