Good morning,I'm teaching technical drawing to a high school kid, but my knowledge of my recently finished high school is limited to the technical drawing on paper. We never used a software! He's way late to find someone else because he should give his work on wednesday He has to do 3 paper drawings and one of them has to be done on software too, but I don't really now how to help him.It's this drawing (a set of two) , I included both in circles because they are based on the Y it appears when you divide a circle by 3 (120° each).I really hope you can help me, thank you Giulia

Hello bongiorno kairilove09, I'm afraid that your drawings are not too complicated and it's or 3D or isometric drawing.You said that the lines are with angles of 120° and that the figures are in circles, so simply draw a vertical line and copy it with an angle of +120° and then with an angle of -120°.Then you copy or offset them to figure the other lines.Once you have a figure use the command copy to do the other copy of the original one.In any case if you don't have any AutoCAD knowledge you should have trainings or take a look on the internet at :CAD Tutor or others that are easy to find.Please tell us if this helped or not.

The drawings would be very easy to do in 2D isometric by way of the SNAP command.  There is an isometric option.  The three isometric planes are activated via the F5 key.
