  • Electrical legend and making it blocks.
  • Different types of door for residential project.
  • Drawing bars,making it as block and making it as a table as bars bending schedule.

COMMANDS:

  1. Block
  2. Insert
  3. Field
  4. Rectangle
  5. Line
  6. Text
  7. Mirror
  8. Copy
  9. Offset

Q1.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.

AIM:

Creating templetes ,inserting text and block creation.

  1. custum1_Tittle block.
  2. Custum2_Tittle block.

CUSTUM_TITTLE BLOCK:

  • Create a rectangle.
  • By multiline text,type,rev,description,by,date, on first row by 'text' height 2.5 and style- "Times New Roman."

CREATING BLOCK:

  • COMMAND: "B" block definition dialogue box appears -give name as "CUSTUM1_TITTLE BLOCK".
  • - Select pick point and - select a point in the table - select whole table including exploding. select convert to block option.

As we have selected retain the object it will be retain and some as the actual drawing and a block is created for the objects thats we have selected .If we want the block go to insert select the object and insert it.

CUSTUM2_TITTLE BLOCK:

Draw rectangle and divide the to required rows and colums.

With the use of multilines text,insert the following:height 2.5

CREATING BLOCK:

Now create a block command "B" with name "CUSTUM2_TITTLE BLOCK" Select the whole tittle block and make it as a block. After creating it as a block we can see that all attributes will change to their default values.

RESULT:

CUSTUM1_TITTLE BLOCK:

CUSTUM2_TITTLE BLOCK:
