AIM:
Creating Bar Bending schedule, Different Door types, and Creation of standard drawing templates using AutoCAD.
INTRODUCTION:
The main objective of this project to get in touch with various applications of blocks, like creating a block, inserting a block and editing a block. The various tools which was used for doing this project work is as follows.
Line: The line object is the most basic and common object in AutoCAD drawings of any discipline. Each segment is a line object that can be edited separately, assigning properties such as layer, line type, and line weight.
Polygon: A polygon is a figure formed by the finite number of line segments connected to form a closed circuit. The categories of the polygon are triangle, quadrilateral, pentagons, hexagon, heptagon (or septagon), octagon, etc. The triangle is a figure with three sides, and an octagon is a figure with eight sides. The polygon command is used to create polygons in AutoCAD. We need to specify the number of sides to create a polygon. The maximum number of lines available to create a polygon is 1024 The shortcut command to create a polygon is 'pol'.
Rectangle: When using the RECTANGLE command, absolute or relative coordinate values are used to define the size of the rectangle. Actual dimension values are preferred to create the length and width of the rectangle. Command used- REC
Circle: Created a circle Command used - CIRCLE or C
Erase: The erase command is used to remove or delete objects from the drawing. The selected objects can also be removed with the help of the 'Delete' button on the keyboard. We can also delete faces, vertices, and meshes in 3D with the help of Erase command.
Copy: Copies objects a specified distance in a specified direction. With the COPYMODE system variable, you can control whether multiple copies are created automatically.
Trim: Trims objects to meet the edges of other objects. Command used: TR
Mirror: The mirror command in AutoCAD is used to create a copy (mirror copy) of the selected object. We can also delete the source object after mirroring the object. The objects that represent the same as the half of their object can be mirrored across a center line to create the other half of the object.Command used MI
Offset: Creates concentric circles, parallel lines, and parallel curves. Command used: OFFSET.
Extend: Extends objects to meet the edges of other objects. To extend objects, first select the boundaries. Then press Enter and select the objects that you want to extend. To use all objects as boundaries, press Enter at the first Select Objects prompt. Command used: EX
Array: Creates copies of objects arranged in a pattern. We can create copies of objects in a regularly spaced rectangular, polar, or path array.
Move: The move command in AutoCAD is used to move objects at a specified distance and direction.
To move the objects with precision, we can use object snaps, grid snaps, coordinates, etc. Command used M
Rotate: Used to rotate objects in our drawing around a specified base point. To determine the angle of rotation, we can enter an angle value, drag using the cursor, or specify a reference angle to align to an absolute angle. Command used: ROTATE
Dimension: Creates multiple dimensions and types of dimensions with a single command. We can select objects or points on objects to dimension, and then click to place the dimension line. When we hover over an object, the DIM command automatically generates a preview of a suitable dimension type to use.
Text: We can use single-line text to create one or more lines of text, where each text line is an independent object that you can move, format, or otherwise modify. Right-click in the text box to select options on the shortcut menu.
Fillet: The fillet tool helps form round corners between any two entities that form a sharp vertex. Command used: FILLET
Blocks: A block is a combination of AutoCAD object types that make up a real-world object. For example, it could be a chair, manhole, door, utility pole etc.
Insert a Block: Typically, each of these blocks is an individual drawing file, perhaps saved in a folder with similar drawing files. When you need to insert one into your current drawing file, you use the INSERT command (or enter I in the Command window).
Create a Block Definition: Instead of creating a drawing file to be inserted as a block, you might want to create a block definition directly in your current drawing. Use this method if you do not plan to insert the block into any other drawing. In that case, use the BLOCK command to create the block definition.
TASK 1:
Create the templates as shown in Figures. Take the size of the title block as per industry standards or you can assume it as per the size of the paper. Use text and attributes wherever required. After creating the title block you need to save it as a block with names: Custom1_titleblock and Custom2_titleblock, respectively.
|
Type UN and press enter Under Drawing Units, select Metric. Now the lower limit is set to 0, 0 and upper limit to 420, 297. Type Z enter to zoom and A enter to all |

|
A new layer is now created, named as texts and a suitable colour is selected and this layer is made as the default. Type ST to open the TEXT STYLE manager, TEMPUS SANS ITC font was selected and height was set to 40 and this was set as the current one Now using the MULTI LINE text all the text was entered at the positions as required |
 |
|
Type “B” in the command line to open the Block Definition dialog box. Starting from left to right, give the block a name. Now, you need to tell AutoCAD what the insertion point(Pick point) should be. In other words, when you place the block, the point about which the block appears at your cursor. Click the Select Objects button and select the objects you want to be stored in the block I selected convert to block and scale uniforly option as per my convenience and thgen click OK. Creation of Custom1_titleblock is now completed. |
