24. Use offset 9" and finish the exterior wall of the plan

25. Remove the extra parts using Trim command to form the outer layer of the plan

26. Now use blocks to draw doors

27. Draw a rectangle woth 1.5X3 dimensions and copy this rectangle and place it at 3' distance as width of the door 1 is given as 3'.

28. Drawthe hinge with0.1 units and line with panel thickness 0.15 units.

29. Now draw a circle with hinge edge as center and 3' distance rectangle as second point.

30. Trim the remaining part of circle to get door block

31. Give block command and select the door and pick point

32. Similarly draw other two doors with 2'6" and 3'3" as door width.

33. If block was drawn incorrectly then go to block edit definition and edit the block as shown

33. Save the changes and block get updated

34. Use insert option and insert the blocks. There will be rotation option and scale option while inserting the block.

34. Insert doors repectively as given in figure

35. Now use layer command and assign layers to the draw walls and doors.

36. Use matchproperty command and match th elayer property for other doors

37. Draw 3' inch perpendicular line as shown to draw stairs. Use offset commanf and draw other rises with offset distance as 1'.

38. Draw th e inclined line as shown and use mirror comamnd to finish up the other side of stairs.

39. Create a stair layer and use match property as shown

40. Use leader command and give number of points as four to set dimension leader as below

41. Create layers for dimensions and dimension text

42. Give command dimlinear and dimcontinue to measure the dimensions

Result:

Layout of a residence plan

2. The seating plan for an outdoor canopy

Procedure:

1. Open new drawing choose imperial system and go to units choose Decimal Units.

2. Go to Limmax command and limits command to give maximum and minimum boundaries for the Auto Cad sheet.

3. Give Zoom cammand and select all.

4. Give circle command and draw concentric circles with radius 452 and 1398 mm.

5. Draw a rectangle using rectangle command as shown.

6. Draw arc at top of rectangle to form the chair and use fillet command to form a curve at ends as shown, give radius as 50 units

7. Draw rectangle at side as shown with rectangle comamnd for hand rest and use mirrror command.

8. Give arc comamnd to form the top of the chair and use trim comamnd to trim extra parts.

9. Go to block command. Select the chair object and a pick point.

10. Use insert command and insert the block

11. Use array command and polar array. Give number of items as four.

12. Use text comamnd and dimradius command to measure radius.

Result:

The seating plan for an outdoor canopy

3. Part plan for the toilers and utilities room.

Procedure:

1. Open new drawing choose imperial system and go to units choose Decimal Units.

2. Go to Limmax command and limits command to give maximum and minimum boundaries for the Auto Cad sheet.
