Creating a Wardrobe detailed drawing, Floor Plan, Kitchen Layout and Column Detail using AutoCad
Introduction: Autocad is a commercial Computer Aided Design(CAD), It is marked and developed as Autodesk. It was first released on december 1982. Autocad derived from a program, which was beganed in 1977 and then released in 1979 called as Interact CAD, and also called in early documents od autocad as microCAD, Auto desk cofounder was Michael Riddle.
The first version of cad was released in december 1982 and was supported on CP/M-80 computers, By march 1986 Aotocad has became most uniquitous cad program worldwide. The file format of autocad was .dwg, and its interchange file format to DXF, have become a standard. Autocad was included support for .dwf, a format developed and promoted by Autodesk, for publishing CAD date. In year 2022 the Autocad 36th major version was released and the 12th consecutive year of Autocad foe Mac.
CAD is a technology which replaces manual drawing with automated process, if you are a drafter, desingner, architect or engineer you have been used 2D or 3D CAD programs i.e., Autocad or Autocad LT software. Autocad helps you in draft construction documentation, explore ideas for design, viaualise concepts through photorealistic renderings and gives how a design performs in real world.
Autocad mailnly used by industries, architects, engineers, city planners, project managers, graphic designers and other professionals.

Aim: To draw the elevation and details of a wardrobe as given in the Figure, and to provide Dimensions and text using layers
Front Elevation:
Steps:
1. Open new file in Autocad 2023, Type UNITS, use decimal and take millimeters
2. Then LIMITS, Limits of lower left corner give (0,0) and limits of upper right corner (420,297)
3. Type DS (drafting settings) and go to snap and grid ON snap and grid, give snap X and Y spacing as 10, and Grid X and Y spacing as 10 and major lines are taken at every 5 minor lines.
4. Take Line command and first point is (0,0) and next points are (@2800,0) (@0,2600) (@-2800,0) (@0.-2600)
5. And using Offset, offset the left vertical line at a distances of 12, 611.5, 611.5, 600 and 600 in right direction, Then Offset the top horizontal line at a distances of 12, 488 and 2000 towards inward direction. And Trim the extra lines
6. And using Line command provide the rectangle and also circle as given above the bottom horizontal line, And using Hatch Provide the hatch inside and provide Transparency of the hatch is 50
7. Now create two layers by clicking on Layer Properties from the Layers panel and name them as Dimensions and Text, First Set current layer as Dimension and using Dimlinear command provide the dimensions, then make Text layer as Set current and write the required text using Times New Roman Greek font and provided font height is 60

2. Aim: To draw given Floor plan using Auto cad
Steps:
1.Open new file in Autocad 2023, Type UNITS, use decimal and take millimeters
2. Then LIMITS, Limits of lower left corner give (0,0) and limits of upper right corner (1000,1000)
3. Type DS (drafting settings) and go to snap and grid ON snap and grid, give snap X and Y spacing as 10, and Grid X and Y spacing as 10 and major lines are taken at every 5 minor lines.
Import the given pdf to Autocad and use Scale command to adjust to our drawing page, The living room 5310 dimension measured in our drawing sheet as 70.61, so in order to scale to original length(5310) give scale factor of 75.2 (5310 divided by 70.61 is equal to 75.2)
4. Take Line command and first point is (0,0) and next points are (@12350,0) (@0,16700) (@-12350,0) (@0,-16700), a rectangle is formed 12350 X 16700

And by Using Line command inner lines are drawn, use Trim to remove extra lines.
16.To draw Family room and Powder room, Firat the top horizontal wall thickness increased to 380, so outer wall is offsetted to 380 towards inward and the steps are at a distance of 720 from left inner vertical wall and the length of steps are 2430 and the width is 400 offseted for 3 times
The AP unit is at 350 from outer wall and about 1510 length
V1 for powder room width is 750 which is at 100 from top horizontal wall of powder room
D3 door for powder room width is 950 which is at 100 from top horizontal wall of powder room
And draw the lines and change to dotted at required
And by Using Line command inner lines are drawn and ellipse also used, use Trim to remove extra lines.
17. To draw D.H Toilet, Utility room and Utility, The D.H Toilet room door D5 width is 830 which is at 100 from bottom horizontal wall of D.H Toilet room
V2 for D.H Toilet room width is 630 which is at 100 from left vertical wall of D.H Toilet room

Import the given pdf to Autocad and use Scale command to adjust to our drawing page
4.Using Line command a rectangle of size 4690X3655 and using Offset command, offset the all lines by 230mm in inward direction
Now the inner horizontal thickness line on left vertical wall top line is Offsetted in downward direction to a distances of 1070, 1050, 1075 and Using Trim remove the extra lines, so door D2 is created
Now the inner horizonta thickness line on right vertical wall top line is Offsetted in downward direction to a distances of 660, 850, 1080, 605
