2.Doors of warehouse and placing it in blocks.

3.Electrical legend and making it blocks.

4. Different types of doors for residential project.

5.Drawing bars , making it as block and making it as table as a bar bending schedule.

COMMANDS USED:

* BLOCK

*INSERT

*ATTRIBUTES

*FIELD

*RECTANGLE

*LINE

*TEXT

*ARRAY

9*MIRROR

*COPY

*OFFSET.

1)AIM:

Creating templates , inserting text and attributes.

* Custom 1-title block

* Custom 2-title block

procedure:

custom 1 title block:

*Create a rectangle of size 66.63mm and 158mm.

*Divide it with line for the text box into columns.

*For rows take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15,mm.

*By multiline text,type rev, descreption by date on the first row by text height 2.5 and style - times New Roman.

*As it is repeated in the other two rows , take array and give column as 1, rows as 3, spacing between rows and column 7.

*Again use multi line text and type the required text in caps with text height 1.5 and style as times new romans.

CREATING BLOCKS:

Command "B"- block definition dialogue box appears- give name as "Custom1-title block"-select pick point and select a point in the table - select the object-select the whole table including the text.Give scale uniformly and tick allow exploding .Select convert to block option.

As we have selected retain the object it will be retain as same as the actual drawing and a block is created for the objects thet we have selected . If we want to use the bolock goto insert select the opbject and insert it.

Custom 2- title block:

Draw rectangle of 252 and 46mm with lines divide to the required rows and columns.

with the use of multiline text insert the following height 2.5.

Create a small rectangle at the right corner , explode it create rows and columns.

By attributes create the text inside it.command ATT - attributes defin ation dialouge box appears.

Insert the tag line -tag we are giving, visible beforre creating the block.

prompt:Questions we need to add what we need to enter

Default:the values shown in the drawing after making it as a block

For eg : In the firsrt row 1st column "c" is the text to be displayed . Command ATT

Place the tag line on the place we need to hear 1st row 1st column of the box craeted . create attributes similarly for the rest of the text. The attributes created are:

Now create block command B with name CUSTOM2_TITLEBLOCK, select the whole title block and make it as a block.After creating it as a block we can see that all the attributes will change to their default values.

RESULT:

i)The custom_1 title block is created:

ii) The custom2_ title block is created:

AIM:

Creating doors for warehouse and placing it into a blocks:

1.Door 1 - 2330 x 2750 mm

2.Door 2 - 2330 x 2750 mm

PROCEDURE:

Door 1 - 2330x2750mm:

Create a rectangle of size 2330x2750mm.

Offset 50mm as a frame . 90mm for the left side .Explode the rectangle.

By divide DIV devide the top line into 4 segments. From the division point, draw lines vertically to devide it into shutters.

Offset 25mm on bothsides for the thickness delete the center line.

Create a rectangle to show the panels .Offset 20mm from the 1st rectangle and Offset 100mm from the 2nd rectangle.Draw the lines joining corners of the outside and inside rectangle.

Create a panel block, so that it is easy to copy.Create lock by rectangle command , and fillet the corners with radius 5mm.

By using the copy all the frames are copied.

Layer is created and all the the objects are kept in different layers.

CREATING BLOCK:

Command B give the name as door 1 - pick point -select corner point - select object and select full object - ok , select scale uniformly and allow exploding.

DOOR 2 -2330X2750MM:

Create a rectangle of size 2330x2750mm.

Offset 50mm as a frame . 90mm for the left side .Explode the rectangle.

By divide DIV devide the top line into 4 segments. From the division point, draw lines vertically to devide it into shutters.

Offset 25mm on bothsides for the thickness delete the center line.create lock by using rectangle anf fillet the ends.

Create it as a block B pick a corner point -select the whole door - tick the box of scale uniformly -explode

RESULT:The doors block was created.

1.DOOR 1:

2.DOOR 2:

3)

AIM: To create a electrical legend.

1.Create each electrical symbol.

2.Creating them as block.

3.Arranging them in legends.

PROCEDURE:

Creating electrical symbols

Single gang switch: Draw a circle of radius 64mm and with line draw a inclined line vertical and horizontal line perpendicular to the inclined line as required.

DOUBLE GANG SWITCH:Draw circle and two horizontal lines and a vertical inclined line.

TRIPLE GANG: Draw circle one vertical inclined line and three horizontal lines.

SINGLE TWO-WAY SWITCH:Draw same as single gang switch and with donut or hatch command give internal dia as zero and for external dia select in the circle

DOUBLE TWO WAY SWITCH:Draw same as double gang switch and create hatch

TRIPLE TWO -WAAY SWITCH:Draw same as triple gang switch and create hatch.

SWITCH CROSS:Create a circle hatch inside and with the line command draw an inclined vertical and perpendicular horizontal line .mirror the line in both directions.

SWITCH SERIAL:Copy the switch cross and delete two bottom lines remove the hatch also.

SINGLE SOCKET:Create a circle divide it into half and draw a line at the top.

SINGLE SOCKET FOR LAMP:From the single socket draw a horizontal line perpendicular to vertical.

DOUBLE SOCKET :Draw the single socket and copy it to create same and place it using snap on.

FLOOR SOCKET SINGLE:Draw a rectangle surrounding single socket.

FLOOR SINGLE SOCKET FOR LAMP:Draw a rectangle surrounding single socket for lamp.

FLOOR SOCKET DOUBLE:Create two single socket and place a rectangle surrounding it.

FLOOR SOCKET SINGLE TELEPHONE:Draw a single socket a triangle and surrounded by a rectangle.

FLOOR SOCKET DOUBLE TELEPHONE:Draw two single socket and a traingle surrounded by a rectangle.

TELEPHONE SOCKET :Draw a triangle.

INTERNET SOCKET:Insert I in the triangle.

TV SOCKET: Insert text TV in the triangle.

WEATHERPROOF SOCKET:Insert text W in the triangle.

DUCT BASE SECTION:Draw a rectangle select the bottom grip point - select add vertex-then pill the vertex to create a bend,with line draw the lines.

WALL BRACKET:With rectangle draw the base , create a circle draw a line connecting the rectangle and circles,draw a cross line inside the circle.

PICTURE LAMP:Draw two rectangles connected by a line.

CREATING THEM AS BLOCK:

Command B given name as single gang switch -pick a point - select object (created single gang switch)-tick scale uniformly and allow exploding options.

Similarly define each one of them as nlock giving the respective names . Do the same procedure for the remaining symbols.

Creating and arranging them in layers:

First create a rectangular table having 10rows and 6columns .

place each of the blocks in the respective rows and columns.

To enter text with the block from the insert tab-select field-select object-select block.

e.g for single gang switch -select from the field-select upper case in format.

Place the text in the respective rows give text height to 150.Similarly place all the titles inside the legends.

Trim off the unwanted lines .Copy the same on the other side .Draw a horizontal line of 139cm and copy it on other side.Draw bend with arc and mirror the same on other side.

C-16MM:

Draw a line of 210cm .Draw a vertical line of 41cm and extend a horizontal line and draw aline inclined at 45 degree from the base of vertical line up to horizontal line.

Trimoff the unwanted lines copy the same on the other side.Draw a horizontal line of 180cmand copy it on gthe other side .Draw bend with arc and mirror the same on the other the side.

D-12MM:

Draw a line of 750cm for straight bar .draw an arc downwards .Mirror it on the other side.

E-10MM:

Draw a rectangle of 23cm and 43cm .Fillet the corner with fillet radius 5cm. Draw two lines of 120cm.

Creating each them as block ny using command - B give name as A-pick a point -select the object-select delete -tick box of scale uniformly and explode all.

Similarly create 5 blocks,A,B,C,D,E and insert each of the bars as blocks.

INSERTING BLOCKS IN THE TABLE:

Create a table with rectangle and divide it into 6 rows and 7 columns with mukltiline text enter type ,shape size ,length,no,total length,unit weight,total weight and all other text. By command i insert each of the block in respective columns.

RESULT:

RESULT:

Template is drawn Text and Attributes are inserted.

Doors of warehouse atr drawn and placed it in a blocks.

Electrical legend are created and it is made into blocks.

Different types of door for residential project are drawn and are placed in blocks.

Bars are drawn and made it as blocks and inserted in the table as bar bending schedule.
