How Do You Make a Revision Triangle in AutoCAD?

by

In AutoCAD, a revision triangle is a commonly used symbol to indicate revisions or changes made to a drawing. It is a simple yet effective way to highlight areas that have been modified. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a revision triangle in AutoCAD.

Step 1: Drawing the Triangle

To start, we need to draw a triangle using the Line command. You can access the Line command by clicking on the Line icon in the Draw panel or by typing ‘line’ in the command line and pressing Enter.

Once the Line command is active, you can specify the first point of your triangle by clicking anywhere in the drawing area.

To draw a straight line, move your cursor to the desired endpoint and click again. Repeat this process for the remaining two sides of your triangle until it forms a closed shape.

Step 2: Adding Text

Next, we will add text inside the triangle to indicate the revision number or any other relevant information. To do this, use the Text command.

You can find it in the Annotation panel or type ‘text’ in the command line.

Select a point within your triangle where you want to place your text. Click there and begin typing your desired text. You can adjust the font size, style, and other attributes using the Text Style dialog box.

Step 3: Applying Styling Elements

To make our tutorial visually engaging, let’s apply some styling elements such as bold and underline to certain parts of our text.

Bold Text:
