Initial Procedure:
- Open AutoCad and select the metric system
- Now set the units and select Decimals with precision 0

1.
Aim: To create the templates as shown in Figures
Procedure:
- Using the LINE command, draw a line of any length.
- And using the OFFSET command, offset the lines and create the required columns and rows
- Using Multiline text, type the required text at the appropriate space and adjust the style and text height
- Now, using BLOCK command, block definition block appears and specify the name as Custom1_titleblock and on picking the point and selecting the object, object gets created.

- Now we can insert the object where ever we want using the ribbon menu, by selecting Insert. From insert, select Block panel and then click Insert block.
- Similarily, using the LINE command, draw a line of any length.
- And using the OFFSET command, offset the lines and create the required columns and rows
- Using Multiline text, type the required text at the appropriate space and adjust the style and text height
- Now, using BLOCK command, block definition block appears and specify the name as Custom2_titleblock and on picking the point and selecting the object, object gets created.

Aim: To create the doors type for warehouse and to create blocks of this door type after sketching them.
Procedure:
- Using the RECTANGLE command, a rectangle of 2330*2750mm is made.
- Now draw a rectangle at the same left side of the previously drawn rectangle.
- Now using OFFSET command, the four panels are made using OSNAP on.
- The handle of the door is also drawn using LINE command, OFFSET command andARC command ..
- Now using the TRIM command, trim off the unwanted lines.
- Dimensioning is done and Text as DOOR 1
- Now from the Ribbon bar, select BLOCK, Create Block

- Similarily Door 2 is created and Saved as a block using BLOCK command, selecting the objects.

Aim: To sketch each symbol as a block with the name given in the legen and arranging them as in legend.
Procedure:
- Using LINE command, start sketching each symbol
- With the help of circle command, circles and semi-circles are made using CIRCLE command and fill them using DONOUT command, by giving the internal diameter as 0
- Use the RECTANGLE command to encase the symbols in the rectangle.
- Using the Text, we can insert any text inside or outside the Symbol.
- After creating each symbol, using block command, select each symbol and name them.
- Finally 23 blocks will be created.
