Triple two way switch : draw same as triple gang switch and create donut

Switch cross: create a circle and donut inside and with line command draw an inclined vertical and perpendicular horizontal. Mirror the lines in the both sides

Switch serial: copy the switch cross and delete two buttom lines remove the do nuts also

Single socket: create a circle div into half and draw line at top

Single socket for lamp: from the single socket draw a horizontal line at the top

Floor socket single: draw a rectangle surrounding single socket.

Floor socket single for lamp: draw a rectangle surrounding single socket for lamp.

Floor socket single telephone : draw a single socket and draw a triangle and surrounded by a rectangle

Floor socket double telephone: draw 2 single socket and a triangle surrounded by a rectangle

Telephone socket: draw a triangle

Internet socket: insert text I in the triangle

Tv socket: insert tv in the triangle

Weatherproof socket: inset w in the triangle

Duct base station: draw rec and draw lines at both opposite sides as shoen

Wall bracket: draw circle and draw line intersecting the centre point and keep a landing for it

Piture lamp: draw 2 rectangles at top and bottom of different sizes

Creating blocks:

Type B in the dialogue box to open the block definition. Starting from the left to right give give the block name

Now select the pick point. Click the select object button and select the object you want to be stored in the blocks.

I selected convert to block and scale uniformly option as per my convenience and then click OK

And give them names as and ok

Aim : to draw the doors of residential project and create it as block

1. D1
2. D2
3. D3
4. D4
5. D5
6. D6

Procedure :

1.door 1-2’10” x 6’11”

• Draw the rectangle with the dimension 2’10” and 6’11”. Draw offset 1.5” for frame. Draw offset 1” for shutter.
• Draw lock by two rectangles and fillet the corners
• Create it as block as type d1

2.door 2- 3’4” x 6’11”

• Draw rectangle as per dimension and offset 1” 2 times and create panels in between the rectangle which is drawn in between main frame of the door with t3 rows and 4 columns
• Add lock to the door by drawing a circle and offet it
• Next draw other rec at the bottom othe door frame and offset it asper required
• Create it as block and name it as type D2 and pick the point and click ok, then the block is created

3). D3 -2'9" x 6'11" :

Draw a rectangle of 2'9" x 6'11".

Offset 1" for thickness ,2"offset for frame, 1" thickness. Offset 1.5" as shutter thickness.

Draw a rectangle at the top for ventilation 1'3" x 9.3", give offset 1" for thickness.Hatch inside the rectangle.

Create lock by rectangle two of them, perpendicular to each other and a circle.

Create it as a block Command "B" - give name as type d3 -pick point- select object -tick scale uniformly and explode all.

4). D4 - 3'9" x 8'7" :

Draw rectangle "REC" of dimension 3'9" x 6'10".Explode it and create an arc with 2-point method with both point as the endpoints.Offset the arc and the line with 1.5" and then 1".

Offset 8" from arc and rectangle for panel and divide it into two .Take 1" offset 2 times to show the thickness on top figure and bottom rectangle.Create rectangles inside the panel.

For lock, create a circle.

Make it a block, name as type D4 - pick a point and select the object tick the dialogue box of uniform scale and explode all.

5). D5 - 3'5" x 6'8" :

Draw a rectangle of 3'5" x 6'8".Offset 1.5" for frame.Offset 1" as shutter thickness.Create another rectangle inside with offset 4.4".

Create another rectangle on the bottom 2'2.9" x 2'2.6".Offset 1" two times for both rectangles.

Create rectangle inside for panels with offset 0.5".Copy it for 3 columns and 4 rows.Similarly copy it in bottom rectangle for 3 rows and 3 columns.

Create it as a block Command "B" - give name as type D5 -pick point- select object -tick scale uniformly and explode all.

Aim: To create bar bending schedule and insert it as block.

Drawing each shape.
Creating it as block.
Inserting it in table as Bar bending schedule.
Procedure:

1).Drawing each shape:

A -20mm :

Draw a line of 750cm for straight bar.Create arc for the bend. Create on one side and mirror it on another side.

B-16mm :

Draw line of 300mm for straight bar.Draw vertical line of 41cm and extend a horizontal line and draw a line inclined at 45 degree from the base of vertical line up to horizontal line.

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

Trim off the unwanted lines.Copy the same on the other side.Draw a horizontal line of 180cm and copy it on other side.Draw bend with arc and mirror the same on other 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 43 cm.Fillet the corner with fillet radius 5cm.Draw two line of 120cm.

Creating each of them as block by 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 multiline 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 and text and attributes are inserted.

Doors of warehouse are drawn and placed it in 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 it in table as bar bending schedule.
