Creating a Wardrobe detailed drawing, Floor Plan, Kitchen Layout and Column Detail using AutoCad

Aim: - To draw the elevation and details of a wardrobe as shown in the figure above using AutoCAD.

Introduction: - A wardrobe is a standing closet used for storing clothes. The Wardrobe detailed drawing is created in AutoCAD using primarily the Line tool and after sketching, the dimensions and text are provided with the use of layers. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail with diagrams of each step and the final result is given.

PROCEDURE: -

Before we start the drawings we need to set up the drawing as Metric and the units into Decimal Units.

Following are the steps in order to set up the drawing as Imperial Template and the units into Engineering Units.

1. Go to Application Menu or click CTRL + N (New)
2. Click on New from the Application Menu
3. A popup menu appears, click on the first tab known as Start from Scratch > Select Metric
4. Now click on the third tab known as Use a Wizard > Go to Advance setup > A Dialog box appears > Select the unit of measurement as Decimal > Press Next > select Angle as Decimal Degrees > Press Next > Select Angle Measure > Press Next > Select Angle Direction > Press Next > Select Area > Click Finish
5. Set the page limit by entering Limits in the command tab. The lower left corner is specified as 0,0 and the upper right corner is specified as 410, 297.
