HOW TO MAKE A YIN AND YANG SYMBOL HOW TO

Here is the completed AutoCAD DWG file containing the stepped progress. Now you should be done with a finished Yin-Yang symbol. Select Hatch and then use a Solid white for areas 1 and then the Hatch command again but this time select black (color 250) for areas 2. This new Hatch Creation ribbon makes it really easy visually preview what the hatched region will look like before committing to the hatch operation. You will notice after selecting the HATCH command option you get the new Hatch Creation ribbon. Now lets hatch the areas and we will be complete with this quick & hopefully fun exercise.We will use the TRIM command to trim portions of the inner circles and using other portions as the cutting edges. Now the Yin-Yang Symbol will take a more recognizable shape.Now do this offset on both the inner circles. We will set the Offset distance to 1.5” which is half that of the inner 3” circle, which is half the outer 6” circle. We will accomplish this by using the OFFSET command. Now we will create two more circles for the inner hatch areas of the symbol.Now to create the second inner circle we will simply use the MIRROR command and mirror about the center of the large circle.Now that I have the outer circle of 6” radius created, I will create two half sized circles inside it using the Object Snaps QUA and CEN.Ĭreate the first one using the Circle 2Point method and select the OSNAP (Shift+right mouse button) QUAdrant as the first point then CENter for the center of the big circle for the second point.I created layers for the outer circle, inner circles, black hatch and white hatch. (best practices tip) Setup some initial layers to keep your geometry on separate layers. I am creating a 6” radius (12” diameter) circle. Create a circle using the AutoCAD CIRCLE command or selecting it from the Ribbon Home Tab (see green arrow).I am providing screen capture images for the steps, a video to view what I did, and the DWG file to view the steps. I will be working from the 2D Drafting & Annotation Workspace. This would be a good simple exercise for students and those just learning AutoCAD. The exercise shows how easy it can be using simple AutoCAD command methods to create cool geometry. I had some extra energy today and put this together quickly.

HOW TO MAKE A YIN AND YANG SYMBOL HOW TO

This post is not on Chinese philosophy, but how to create the well known Yin-Yang symbol in AutoCAD in six simple steps. The only life a Human can have without an evergrowing love to a. They gave a substantial amount of their enlightened lives to leave us guideposts, to nudge back to a life in the Great Way. Practical types are not naive and Theoretical types cannot carry menhirs uphill. It is oxymoronic to think people practical enough to carry a 100 ton marble slab uphill believed in something noone had actual firsthand experience in. And it had nothing to do with burials for kings, as we now understand them. There is a reason people 10000 years ago chiseled the hardest stone with the softest tools in the middle of nowhere, the most unreachable places on Earth. The end of all 'problems' inasmuch as problems are cobsecuence of inappropriate comprehension. The Ying Yang is of course a doorway to the Tao and the End of Duality. Kind of a mathematical proof to both ones level of understanding and serving as a door or path to further it. In a way the symbols were left to us as a reminder. If one observes the flow of thought through ones body, these patterns emerge, and they encode the truth of the universe. Although he is 'learned' he does not embody what he knows, he does not 'understand'.
