Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad

AIM : creating a floor plan, footing detail and isometric view using autocad.

INTRODUCTION :

this project will help us to introduce various tools in autocad such as drawing rectangle, polylines, move, offsets, copy, rotate, drafting and setting dialog box etc. by using these tools we have created footing details, isometric views, floor plan and we have mentioned detail procedure to draw it.
