Objective: Creating templates, inserting text and attributes
Custom 1_ corner stamp
Custom 2_ corner stamp
Method:
Custom 1_ corner stamp:
Create a rectangle measuring 66.63mm by 158mm
Divide it into columns using a line for the text box
Use an offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,
For multi-line text, enter rev, description, by, date on first line by text height 2.5 and style - Times New Roman.
As it repeats in the next two lines, take the array, put the column as 1, the rows as 3, the spaces between the rows as 7.
Again, use multi-line text and enter the text you want in capital letters with a text height of 1.5 and a style like Times New Romans.
Creating a block:
Command "B" - block definition dialog will appear - name as "Custom1_ corner stamp" - select selection point and select point in table - select object - select entire table including text. Enter the scale uniformly and check enable spread .Choose the convert to block option.
As we selected to preserve the object, it will be preserved and the same as the actual drawing, and a block will be created for the objects we selected. If we want to use the go to insert block, select the object and insert it.
Custom 2_ corner stamp:
Draw a rectangle of 252 and 46 mm. Divide with lines into the desired rows and columns.
Using multiline text, insert the following: height 2.5.
Create a small rectangle in the right corner, expand it, create rows and columns.
Use the attributes to create the text in it. The "ATT" - attribute definition dialog box will appear.
Insert tag line - the tag we give, visible before the block is created.
Prompt: Question, we need to add what we need to enter
Default: the value shown in the drawing after it has been created as a block.
Eg: In the first line of the 1st column "C" is the text to be displayed. command "ATT"
Place the tag line where we need to hear the 1st row 1st column of the created frame. Similarly, create attributes for the rest of the text. The attributes created are:
Now create a "B" block command called Custom2_titleblock, select the entire corner stamp and create it as a block. After creating it as a block, we can see that all the attributes are changed to their default values.
Result:
i) Custom_1 corner stamp is created
ii) Custom2_tiltleblock is created
2).
Objective: Create doors for the warehouse and place them in blocks:
Door 1 - 2330 x 2750 mm
Door 2 - 2330 x2750 mm
Method:
Door 1 -2330x2750mm:
Create a rectangle measuring 2330 x 2750 mm.
Offset 50 mm as a frame. 90 mm for the left side. Unfold the rectangle.
Split the "DIV" to split the top line into 4 segments. From the dividing point, draw lines vertically to divide it into shutters.
Offset 25mm on both sides for thickness, remove center line.
Create a rectangle to display the panels. 20 mm offset from the 1st rectangle and 100 mm offset from the 2nd rectangle. Draw lines connecting the corners of the outer and inner rectangles.
Create the panel as a block so it can be copied easily. Create a lock with the rectangle command and round the corners with a radius of 5 mm.
Copy copies all images.
A layer is created and all objects are stored in different layers.
Creating a block:
Command "B" - name door 1 - select point - select corner point - select object - select entire object - ok. Select the scale to be uniform and enable decomposition.
Door 2 -2330 x 2750 mm:
Create a rectangle measuring 2330x2750mm. Offset 50mm as a frame. 90 mm for the left side. Unfold the rectangle.
Split the "DIV" to split the top line into 4 segments. From the dividing point, draw lines vertically and divide them into caps. To make the points visible, select the command "DDPTYPE" point style
Offset 25mm on both sides for thickness, delete the center line. Create a lock by drawing a rectangle on opposite sides and rounding the corners with a radius of 5 mm.
Create layers and insert lock, frame in different layers
Create it as a "B" block - select a corner point - select the entire door - check the scale box evenly - spread out.
Result: The door block has been created and the doors are created.
3).
Objective: Create an electric legend
Create each electrical symbol
Create them as a block
The arrangement is in the legends
Method:
Creating electrical symbols
Simple switch: Draw a circle with a radius of 64mm and use a line to draw a slanted vertical line and a horizontal line perpendicular to the slanted as needed.
Double Group Switch: Draw a circle and draw two horizontal lines and a vertical slope line.
Triple Group Switch: Draw a circle, 1 vertical slanted line and three horizontal lines.
Single two-way switch: Draw the same as a single gang switch and use the donut command to enter the inner diameter as zero and for the outer diameter select it in a circle.
Double Two-Way Switch: Draw the same as the double switch to create a donut.
Triple Two-Way Switch: Draw the same as the triple switch to create a donut.
Switch cross: Create a circle and a ring inside and use the line command to draw an inclined vertical and perpendicular horizontal plane. Mirror the line in both directions.
Switch series: Copy the switch cross and remove the bottom two lines, also remove the ring.
Simple socket: Create a circle, divide it in half and draw a line at the top.
One socket for the lamp: From one socket, draw a horizontal line perpendicular to the vertical.
Double scoket: Draw a single foot and copy it to create it and place it by snapping.
Floor socket single: Draw a rectangle surrounding one socket.
Floor single Socket for lamp: Draw a rectangle surrounding one lamp socket
Floor socket double : Create two separate drawers and place a rectangle around them.
Floor socket simple telephone: Draw one socket, a triangle and surrounded by a rectangle.
Double floor socket, telephone: draw 2 single sockets and a triangle surrounded by a rectangle.
Telephone socket: Draw a triangle
Internet socket: Insert the text "i" in the triangle.
TV socket: Insert the text "TV" in the triangle.
Weatherproof socket: Insert the text "w" in the triangle.
Bottom of the pipe: Draw a rectangle - select the bottom grip point - select add vertex - then pull the vertex to create a bend, using the line to draw lines.
Wall mount: Draw a base using a rectangle, create a circle, draw a line connecting the rectangle and the circle, draw a cross line inside the circle.
Picture lamp: draw two rectangles connected by a line.
Create them as a block:
Name command "B" single group switch - select point - select object (single group switch created) - check scale evenly and enable exploding options.
Similarly, define each of them as a block with the appropriate names. Do the same for the remaining symbols.
Creating and arranging a border in layers:
First, create a rectangular table with 10 rows and 6 columns.
Place each of the blocks in the appropriate rows and columns.
To enter text using a block from the insert tab - select a field - select an object - select a block.
Eg: for a single gang switch - select from the box. - select uppercase letters in the format.
Place the text in the appropriate lines and set the text height to 150. Similarly, place all the headings in the legends.
Result:switches are drawn and blocked in table
