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

ANSWERS FOR CHALLENGE

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.

1.Ans:

AIM:- To creating the template and blocked with named as Custom1_titleblock and Custom2_titleblock, respectively.

PROCEDURE:-

For Custom1_titleblock template:

• For the first bolck draw a rectangle of the size (841 X 1189 mm) as it is the standard size of the A0 size paper.
• Now explode the rectangle so that we can work on each line separetly.
• Now give offset of 235 mm from right to left to create a title box.
• Now give offset to the horizontal lines to create boxes of the desired size.
• Now trim the excess lines and then the format of the title block is ready.

• Now as the sheet format is ready use the "DTEXT" of the desired/Preffered size to notate the boxes for what they are going to used for.

• Now change the colour of template boundary line and creating new layer as boundary.

• Then creating new layer named as Text and applying the new colour to it.

• Enter command "B" to convert it into a block.
• By entering the data the drawing will turn into block.

For Custom2_titleblock:

• For the second bolck draw a rectangle of the size (210 X 297 mm) as it is the standard size of the A4 size paper.
• Now explode the rectangle so that we can work on each line separetly.
• Now give offset from bottom to top to create a title box.
• Now give offset to the vertical lines to create boxes of the desired size.
• Now trim the excess lines and then the format of the title block is ready.

• Now as the sheet format is ready use the "DTEXT" of the desired/Preffered size to notate the boxes for what they are going to used for.

• Now entering all the data given in the drawing.

• Now use the command "ATT" to give the attribute definition to the following boxes.
• The dialogue box for the attribute definition looks as below.

• Do the same thing for all the boxes so that a proper format for the sheet is prepared.
• After entering all the attribute definition select the whole drawing and then enter command "B" to convert it into a block.

• By entering the data the drawing will turn into block.
