At last, you can get a video also about creating a 3D Animation Video on AutoCAD. In this article getting the knowledge of The drawing picture is to be converted into video form. If you go to make a video of the AutoCAD drawing please visit till the end.

3D Motion path animation video on AutoCAD

It is not possible to easily make AutoCAD drawings in 3D video form. But today I will show you all the process of making 3D motion animation videos on AutoCAD too easily. After reading this article you can make a motion path Animation video on your computer easily.

Follow the following instructions to make a motion path Animation video on your computer on AutoCAD software.

First of all, open the AutoCAD Application on your computer or laptop.

Open the 3D drawing file in which you will be making a 3D motion path Animation video.

The drawing file appears on the AutoCAD screen.

Second, you should open the menu bar at the top of the screen.

For that show menu bar is required.

Click the down arrow which lies on the ribbon bar or middle top of the AutoCAD screen.

A dropdown list will appear on the screen.

Click the Show Menu Bar on the second last of the drop-down list.

After selecting the show menu bar “Menu Bar” will appear at the top of the screen.

The 3D drawing is to be a set-top view or plan view.

Click the custom view >>click the top view.

The drawing will be shown in the top view.

Then after Circle should be made at the center of the top-view drawing.

Click “C Command” to make a circle on the command bar at the bottom of the AutoCAD screen. Then,

Click the center of the plan or top view drawing then click outside of the 3D drawing.

Offset the circle 1 foot in the inner part of the circle.

Type “O command” for offset put the offset value as 1 foot and click the inner part of the previous circle.

The drawing will show in the isometric view.

For setting out the isometric view click the custom view and click SW isometric.

The drawing will be shown in an isometric view. Show the font view as required.

Move the two circles on the top of the 3D drawing. View the figure below.

The next process is to Move the inner circle in a downward direction by 4 to 6 inches.

Type “M command” for moving the inner circle select the circle drag it down and put the move value as 4 to 6 inches.

Friends, now the next process is Menu Bar.

Go to the Menu Bar.

Click the view button the dialog box will appear.

A dropdown list will appear on the screen.

Click the Motion Path Animation at the bottom of the dialog box.

Motion Path Animation dialog box will appear on the screen.

Fill up the Motion Path Animation Box

Fill up the dialog box.

Link the camera to path 1 and path 2.

Click path 1 and select the first path which is the outer circle.

Put the path 1 Name on the pathname box.

Click OK.

Also, click path 2 and select the second path which is the inner circle.

Put the path 2 Name on the pathname box.

Put the value of Frame rate, Number of frames, and Duration on the right side.

You can choose a visual style as your requirement. Which is suitable for the Animation video.

Choose the resolution of the video. Click resolution and select one on the drop-down list.

Also, select the video format. Like AVI, MPG, and MVW. I recommend choosing MVW.

Untick when previewing show Camera preview and click the preview button.

The process required 5 to 10 minutes to save the video. The process depends on the processor of the computer or laptop.

After completing the saving process go to the location of the saving file and then open the video.

Finally, you can get full information about the 3D Motion Path Animation Video on AutoCAD. Now you can create a motion animation video in AutoCAD.

I hope this is very helpful. If you are a YouTuber, presenter of a project, or developer able to make Animation videos in AutoCAD easily. The above process is followed when you go to make a motion path Animation video in AutoCAD. You can use it practically in the software.
