• Set the limits by using the limits command and specify the end points
• Type the rec command and give the length as 2101 mm and width as 2270
• Now from both the horizontal boundary give the offset of 292 mm in the inner side of the rectangle
• Now from the left vertical boundary give the offset of 77mm in the +x direction
• Now from the same vertical boundary give the offset oof 531 mm in the +x direction 3 times
• Trim off the unwanted lines
• Now from making the patterns of doors make the rectangle of required length
• Give the offset at the required distance
• Then join the lines diagonally by keeping the ortho off
• Copy it to all required points keeping the ortho on
• Do the required dimensioning
• Now Erase the patterns of door 1 for getting the door 2
• Required geometry is made as shown in the figure.

RESULT:

3. Creating each symbol as a block with the name in the legend

Aim- To create symbols in the table using AutoCad software.

Procedure:

• Create a new AutoCad file with metric units
• Type the command units and set it to decimal unit and set it to mm
• Type the command dimstyle and set it to the primary units and set the units to the decimal and precision to 0
• Set the limits by using the limits command and specify the end points
• Type the REC command and give the length as 124mm and width as 59mm
• Give the required no of offsets from the horizontal boundary at the required distance
• Give the vertical offset from the vertical boundary at the required distance for getting the columns
• Use the single line text for giving the symbols name headings and subheading of the table
• Make the symbols with the help of REC, LINE, ARC, DONUT and CIRCLE command.
• Required geometry is made.

RESULT:

4. Creating the door types for residential building as a block.

Aim- To create doors of residential building as given using AutoCad software.

Procedure:

• Create a new AutoCad file with imperical units
• Type the command units and set it to engineering unit and set it to inches
• Type the command dimstyle and set it to the primary units and set the units to the decimal and precision to 0
• Set the limits by using the limits command and specify the end points
• Creating the doors as shown in the geometry
• D1
• Type the REC command and give the length as 2’10” and width as 6’10”
• Use the explode command for exploding the REC.
• Now join the lines except lower horizontal boundary of rectangle using the JOIN command
• Use the offset command and give the offset of joined lines at required distance as shown in the figure
• Make the lock using the rec and circle command

RESULT:Door D1 is made.

• Creating Door D2
• Type the REC command and give the length as 3’4” and 6’11” respectively
• Give the offset of rectangle at the required distance as shown in the figure
• Now for making the pattern type the REC command
• Make the upper and the lower of required length and shape
• Now from these rectangles give the offset at the required distances as shown in the figure
• Now for block pattern make the square of required length and copy it to required points keeping the ortho on

RESULT: D2 is drawn

• Creating Door D3
• This door is drawn same as D1.
• Change only length
• Type the hatch command for doing the hatching for getting the mosquito window

RESULT: Door D3 is drawn

• Creating Door D4
• Type the line command and specify the point
• Give the length of 3160 mm in –y direction
• Give the length of 1704 mm in +x direction
• Give the length of 3160 mm in +y direction
• Join the lines and give the required offsets at required distance
• Select the two corner points of vertical lines and make the curve lines as shown in the figure
• Do the same for getting the inner pattern
• For getting the cone pattern at upper side beside the small square, use the line command by keeping ortho on and make the 2 lines from the curved portion perpendicular to each other
• Make the square using rectangle command of required shape
• Draw the lower portion same as drawn in D2 door

RESULT: Door D4 is made.

• Creating Door D5
• This door is drawn same as D2
• Delete the lower pattern of inner rectangles
• Make the square using the rectangle command
• Copy the squares using copy command and place it at the required positions keeping the ortho on

RESULT: Door D5 is Drawn

• Now type the Rec command and make the rectangle of required length and at required distance
• Give the offset command for getting the inner rectangle

RESULT:Door D6 is drawn

5. Creating Bars Bending Schedule and each shape as a block
