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.

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.
