Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing a Wall in AutoCAD 2025
Creating walls in AutoCAD requires a series of steps, which involve navigating through the interface and employing specific commands. This guide focuses on how to effectively draw a wall using AutoCAD 2025.
Accessing the Wall Tool
-
Navigate to the Home Tab: Open the AutoCAD interface and click on the Home tab located at the top of the screen.

Select the Wall Tool: In the Build panel, find and click on the Wall option. This initiates the wall creation command.
Drawing the Wall Segment
-
Specify the Starting Point: Click on the drawing area where you want to start the wall. This will act as the first vertex of your wall segment.

Create a Straight Segment: Move the cursor to draw along the desired direction, and click again to mark the endpoint of this segment.
Adding Arc Segments
- Incorporate Arcs: If your wall needs an arc, right-click during the wall drawing process. Select Arc from the context menu that appears. Adjust the arc as needed by clicking to set additional points.
Completing the Wall
