Creating Bar Bending schedule, Different Door types, and Creation of standard drawing templates using AutoCad

1. AIM

To create the templates and need to take the size of title block as per industry standards and need to save them as a block name as Custom 1_titlebox and Custom 2_titlebox

INTRODUCTION

• Drawing template files are drawings that store styles, settings, layers, and layouts in a drawing including title blocks
• When you create a new drawing based on a drawing template, the new drawing gets a copy of the styles in the template, but it is a one-time copy.

COMMANDS USED

• Limits command
• Single Text command
• Line command
• Dimlinear command
• Trim command
• Object snap command
• Offset command
• Units command
• Dimstyle command
• Extend command
• Block command

PROCEDURE

STEP-1

• First draw the line horizontal line with the length of 68.63mm
• Next draw the line vertically upwards with the length of 158mm
• draw the line horizontally backwards with the length of 66.63mm
• Next join the previous line and the first line to form a rectangle.
• take the first row of offset with the length of 5mm at the top
• Next draw the second row of offset with the length of 10mm.
• Next draw the third row of offset with the length of 5mm

• Next draw remaining rows and columns required in the drawing
• Next use the single text command to write the text in the rows and columns where ever required.
• After entering the texts, we need to save the title box as a block with the name as Custom1_titlebox We use the black command to save the title box as a block, as shown in the below picture
• Now enter the block command in the command box
• Next click the pick point and pick the point of the title box Next select the objects in the figure and press enter. Then select the option convert to box
• Next have to turn on the scale uniformly
• Then after press the ok button to finish.
• Finally, the title box is created as a block with the name as Custom1_titiebox

STEP-2

• First draw the horizontal line with the length of 252mm. Next draw the vertical line from previous line with the length of 46mm.
• again, draw the horizontal line from the previous line with the length of 252mm. Next join the first line and the last line at the left side of the figure.

• draw the rectangle at the right corner of the figure at the top.
• draw remaining rows and columns required in the drawing
• Next use the single text command to write the text in the rows and columns where ever required

• After entering the texts, we need to save the title box as a block with the name as Custom1_titlebox. We use the block command to save the title box as a block, as shown in the below picture
