AIM: To sketch the layout of a residence as shown in the figure.

INTRODUCTION: In this, sketch a new tool is introduced, known as layers. Using layers we can define the properties of different elements with different colours, line weights, line types, plotting settings, lock, freeze viewing and names.

And the tools and commands which are used for this sketch are:

• Layer and its respective options
• Xline hor/ver
• Trim
• Dimension
• Hatch
• Curves
• Rectangle
• Offset
• Line
• Polyline
• Units
• limits
• Zoom
• Arc
• Snap tools
• Orthosnap

PROCEDURE:

• Start with Taking units in engineering to plot in feet and inches with and decimal limit of 0.00.
• Next mention the boundaries of the drawing screen we have to use and start sketching.
• First, we have to define the required layers by creating the new layers in layer properties as follows:
  • Status Name On Freeze Lock Plot Color Linetype LineweightTransparency

    kUsed	0	True	False	False	True	white	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	CB	True	False	False	True	40	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	Defpoints	True	False	False	False	white	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    current	dimensions	True	False	False	True	16	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	Doors	True	False	False	True	160	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	hatch	True	False	False	True	43	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	stairs	True	False	False	True	magenta	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	texts	True	False	False	True	24	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	Walls	True	False	False	True	10	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault
    kUsed	window	True	False	False	True	80	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault

• Start drawing Walls in the walls layer using X lines, line and trim commands as required.
  • The sketch is with the dimensions as shown in the figure.
  • Outer wall thickness is 9.0" and the inner wall thickness is 4.5".
    
• Next, create the following units with their respective layers in the given dimensions:
  • Cupboards with C/B
  • Doors with doors
  • Windows with windows
    
  • Then go to hatch command and fill the solid hatch in between walls to make the wall look thick
    
  • And stairs with stairs:
    • Use the offset control to sketch the stairs Perfectly in 1" thread each.
• And then using the Dimension command with a desired and required dimension style, plot the dimensions under dimension layers.
• Similarly mention the Texts, and room names using the TEXT command under the text layer in the required style and font size.
• ESC

AIM: To sketch a seating plan for an outdoor canopy using Autocad:

INTRODUCTION: There are no new commands used in this sketch, but we use the Group option to create chairs in this.

Commands used are:

• Circle
• Centre of
• Rotate
• Dimensions
• Group
• Rectangle
• Lines
• Curve
• Fillet
• Mirror

PROCEDURE:

• First, draw the circles inner and outer with the radius 452 and 1398 respectively using circle and centre of command
  
• Next, create a unit of chairs with the following commands:
  • Line
  • Mirror
  • Curve
  • Fillet
• And make that chair as a group:
  • Select the entire chair
  • 

• Then move that chair to the middle area of the two circles
• Using the rotate tool and copying in it, rotate the chair at 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees to make it look equal and perfectly placed on four sides.
• Using the dimension command, mention the dimensions of the circle.
• ESC

AIM: To Sketch the part plan for the toilers and utility room in AutoCAD.

INTRODUCTION: The tools and commands which are used for this sketch are:

• Layer and its respective options
• Xline hor/ver
• Trim
• Dimension
• Hatch
• Curves
• Rectangle
• Offset
• Line
• Polyline
• Units
• limits
• Zoom
• Arc
• Snap tools
• Orthosnap
• Group
• Rotate

PROCEDURE:

• Convert the units to millimetres and change decimals to 0.
• Set Limits to the sketch screen.
• First, we have to define the required layers by creating the new layers in layer properties as follows:
  • Name Status On Freeze Lock Plot Color Linetype LineweightTransparency
  • 
    

    0	kUsed	True	False	False	True	white	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    Defpoints	kUsed	True	False	False	False	white	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    DIMENSIONS	kUsed	True	False	False	True	25	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    door	kUsed	True	False	False	True	92	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    hatch	kUsed	True	False	False	True	44	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    TEXTS	kUsed	True	False	False	True	252	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    toilet	kCurrent	True	False	False	True	140	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    wall	kUsed	True	False	False	True	246	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    washbasin	kUsed	True	False	False	True	160	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False
    window	kUsed	True	False	False	True	90	Continuous	ByLineWeightDefault	0	False

• Start drawing Walls in the walls layer using X lines, line and trim commands as required.
  • The sketch is with the dimensions as shown in the figure.
  • The outer wall thickness is 300mm and the inner wall thickness is 150mm.
    
  • Then go to hatch command and fill the solid hatch in between walls to make the wall look thick
• Next create the doors and windows as per mentioned dimensions:
  • Toilet window: 631mm - window layer
  • Toilet door: 832mm - door layer
  • Utility RM window: 728mm - window layer
  • Utility RM door: 823mm - door layer
    
• After that create the toilet in toilet layer seat using :
  • Rectangle
  • Curve
  • Lines
  • Circle
    
  • And make it as a group.
• And then create the wash basin in the washbasin layer using :
  • Lines
  • Circles
  • fillets
  • Curves
  • Mirror
  • Copy
  • Rotate
  • Snap tools
    
  • And make it as a group.
• Place both of them in the desired place.
• 
• And then using the Dimension command with a desired and required dimension style, plot the dimensions under dimension layers.
• Similarly mention the Texts, and room names using the TEXT command under the text layer in the required style and font size.
• ESC
