• Type Qnew and open new drawing
• Set units according to drawing
• Switch on object snap and object snap modes : Endpoint, Midpoint, Center, Nearest, Intersection, Perpendicular and Node
• Ortho mode is ON

Problem 1 :

Aim : To draw the elevation and details of a wardrobe

Procedure :

• Set units to decimal
• Set units in dim style to decimal
• Draw a square of size 2700 x 2700 mm using line tool
• Draw a line with offset of distance 150 using bottom line of square and another line with offset distance of 500 using top line of square
• Draw four lines with offset distance of 600 using left side of square and trim off lines at bottom
• Draw cross lines as shown in diagram and assign it to new layer i.e. layer 1 (change line type to "ACAD_ISO03W100")
• Draw two rectangles of size 860 x 150 mm as shown in figure
• Now hatch the diagram using pattern "ANS134" and hatch pattern scale 12
• Create anothe layer i.e layer 2 and assign left and top lines (2700 mm lines) to this layer in which line weight of lines are 40mm
• Enter command line weight and click on display line weight
• Extend bottom line (2700mm) to extra 100mm on both sides
• At left side draw a line 90 degree of length 2700mm from extended 100mm line and join to the diagram with another 100mm line (towards right)
• Hatch this newly formed rectangle using pattern "ANS131" and hatch pattern scale 20
• After hatching remove these lines and draw a text "WALL SURFACE" using font style ariel, height 100mm and rotation 90 degree
• Enter "MLEADERSTYLE" and click on modify
• Enter maximum leader points to 3, set landing distance to 35, arrow head symbol as closed blank and arrow head size to 30, press okay and close
• Using "Leader" draw and write a text "SECTION 1" at top and bottom of diagram as shown below
• Using dimlinear mark the dimensions

• Draw another square 2700 x 2700 mm
• Draw a line with offset of distance 150 mm using bottom line of square
• Then draw two rectangles of size 1100 x 2450 mm from a distance of 50mm of bottom line and maintaining a gap of 100 mm
• Now make a gap of 100 and draw the third rectangle of size 300 x 2500 mm as shown below
  
  
• 
• Now draw shelves in first rectangle
  1st shelve of size = 1100 x 500 mm
  2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th shelve of size = 1100 x 300 mm
• Create a gap of 50mm and assign some line to layer 2 as shown in fig
  
  
• 
• Now create similar shelve in rectangle 2 as shown in fig
  
  
• 
• Draw various boxes in each shelve and a write text "HANGER SPACE" in the 2nd rectangle (HEIGHT 75mm)
• Divide the last shelve of rectangle into 3 shelves as shown in the figure
• Hatch these boxes with solid pattern and hatch transparency 80
• Draw 3 stands at the bottom of cupboard of size 50 x 150 mm
• In the last rectangle draw two rectangles of size 300 x 780 mm (bottom) and 300 x 550 mm (above) as shown below
  
  
• 
• Now mark the dimensions using dimlinear
  
  
• 
• Now draw three rectangles of size 600 x 2700, 600 x 2700 and 300 x 2700 (mm)
• Project the lines from previous drawing to mark the shelves of cupboard
• Name it as side elevation , section1, section 2
• Use hatch tool (pattern ANS131, pattern scale 20) wherever necessary as shown below
  
  
• 
• Draw a rectangle of size 2700 x 600 and draw three small rectangle inside bigger rectangle with gap of 50mm maintained between the rectangles as shown below
  
  
• 
• Hatch (pattern ANS131, pattern scale 20) indicates wall surface and using dimlinear dimensions are marked.

Problem 2 :

Aim : To draw the floor plan using proper drafting tools

Procedure :

• Set units to decimal
• Set units in dim style to decimal
• Enter command "PDFIMPORT" and click on file
• Now select the page of floor plan as shown below
  
  
• 
  
  
• Now taking the reference of diagram draw the floor plan and adjust the scale of diagram accordingly
• After finishing the drawing remove the imported pdf
• Mark the dimensions of diagram using dimlinear
• Create layers for
  1. Windows
  2. Doors
  3. Dimensions
  4. Text (Style arial and height 280mm)
  5. Line Type 1 for exterior and interior walls (Solid line)
  6. Line Type 2 for dotted line (ACAD_ISO03W100)
  7. Staircase
  and assign it accordingly to the floor plan

Problem 3 :

Aim : To create the Kitchen Layout using Autocad

Procedure :

• Set units to decimal
• Set units in dim style to decimal
• Draw a rectangle of size 4500 X 3400 and draw a rectangle with offset distance 200mm
• Draw a door of size 760 x 2100 mm as shown in the figure
• Draw a text "KITCHEN 4300 X 3200" at centre of diagram and D2 at the door (style : arial and height 75mm)
• Hatch the wall area with two different patterns as shown below
  1. ANS131, SCALE=20
  2. SOLID with transparency 50
• Now make two copies of this diagram one is "Below counter plan" and another is "Above counter plan"
  
  
• 
  
  
• Now in the below counter plan draw fridge, various sizes of shelves, sink, gas stove using rectangle tool as shown below and also mark the dimensions using dimlinear
• 
  
  
  
• Similarly in Above counter plan draw various shelves, chimney area using rectangle tool as shown below and also mark the dimensions using dimlinear
  
  
• 
  
  
• Text style arial and font height of 75mm is maintained throughout the diagrams

Problem 4 :

Aim : To sketch the column details using AutoCad

Procedure :

• Set units to engineering
• Set units in dim style to engineering
• Draw a square of size 60" x 60"
• Divide the square in rows and column as shown below and name it as P1
  
  
• 
• Make two copies of this diagram P2 and P3 as shown below
  
  
• 
• Draw a square of 24" x 24" and draw another rectangle with offset distance 1"
• Inside this square draw three horizontal lines and three vertical lines with offset distance of 5.5"
• Now draw circles along with tangents and hatch them with pattern solid as shown below
  
  
• 
  
  
• Place this diagram in P1, P2, P3 squares
• Draw the text with text style arial and font height 4" as shown in the figure

Problem 5 :

Aim : To draw the Raft Layout as shown in AutoCad

Procedure :

• Set units to engineering and inches
• Set units in dim style to engineering
• Enter command "PDFIMPORT" and click on file
• Now select the page of raft foundation plan as shown below
  
  
• 
  
  
• Now taking the reference of diagram draw the raft foundation plan and adjust the scale of the diagram accordingly as shown below
  
  
  
  
• After finishing the drawing remove the imported pdf
  
  
• 
• Mark the dimensions of diagram using dimlinear
• Create layers for
  1.Line Type 1 for dotted lines(CENTERX2)
  2.Line Type 2 (Continous)
  3.Text (style arial and height 8'-4")
  4.Dimensions
  and assign it accordingly to the raft foundation plan
• Hatch the different areas of the plan according to given figure
  
• Three different hatch patterns are used
  1. ANS137 with hatch pattern scale 20
  2. AR-CONC with hatch pattern scale 0.6
  3. ANS132 with hatch pattern scale 10
