Abstract :
In this paper four procedures were developed using AutoLISP computer language and were run in AutoCAD Software for simulating fractals formation. These fractals include Koch curve, Koch snowflake, tree shape, and Sierpinski triangle. Comparison with previous simulations, these simulated fractals can be magnified and minified under any view scale using the zoom and pan functions of AutoCAD Software, so the details and the whole of Fractals can be further researched and observed.
