Creating Bar Bending schedule, Different Door types, and Creation of standard drawing templates using AutoCad
Aim :
To create:
1. Template ,inserting text and attributes.
2. Doors of warehouse and placing it in blocks.
3. Electrical legend and making it blocks.
4. Different types of door for residential project.
5. Drawing bars ,making it as block and making it as a table as bar bending shedule.
Commands used:
I) Block - To make different elements into a single entity for easiness for work. Command "B" . Block defenition dialogue box apperas .Create a name for block- specify the base point ( any point of the object)- select the object - the blockis created.
- We can pick a point or we can specify on screen or give the coordinates.
- After selecting objects there are options:
- Retain : the object will be retained as it is and block will be craeted.
- Covert to block: the object is convereted into block.
- Delete : The object will be deleted from the screen but block will be craeted , we can insert it whenever needed.
- We can give scale uniformly , so that the block will be scaled in same scale in X and Y.
- If we seelct allow exploding, the block can be exploded when required.
II) Insert - To insert a block. Command "I" - we can select the required block created and insert it.
III) Attributes- Command "ATT" - attribute define dialgue box appears - give tag line, prompt and default value - give the mode -constant ,lock etc.,alignment of text.
IV)Field- To create text along with block .(text and block are connected)From insert tab -click on field -click on object-select block- slect the name of the block to be appeared-select the text style and click on Ok.
V)Rectangle - Command "REC" - clcik on dimension in command propmt and give the width and height.
VI)Line - Command "L"
VII)Text - Command "T" - enter the text box , give the height and style , then type the required text.
VIII) Array - To repeat the objects in rows and columns ( rectangular array) .Command " AR" -select the object to be repeated - select rectangular- enter the number of rows, columns and spacing etc.
IX) Mirror- Command "MI"
X)Copy -Command "CO"
XI)Offset Command "O"
1. 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 templates , inserting text and attributes
a. Custom 1_ titile block
b. Custom 2_ title block
Procedure:
a. Custom 1_ title block
1) Make table:
- Create a rectangle of size 320mm and 140 mm.
- Divide it with line for the text box into columns (on top side) offset horizontally 20mm,75mm,20mm and (on bottom side) 40mm,25mm and 38mm. also trim unecessary line
- For rows, take offset vertically of 20mm(5times),40mm, 30mm(5times).
2) write text:
- By multiline text , type rev ,description , by ,date on the first row by text height 6 and style - Times New Roman.
- As it is repeated in the other two rows , take array give column as 1 , rowas as 3 ,
- Again use multiline text and type the required text in caps with text height 4 and style as Times New Romans
- Status:
- TITLE
- Client
- Architect
- Site
- Scale, date ,Drawn by:,Checked by:
- Project no: , Drawing no: , Revision:
These are the items we have to provide in the title block.
3) Creating block :
- Command "B" - block defenition dilaogue box appears- give name as "Custom1_ title block"- select pick point and select a point in the table (corner point)- select the object- select the whole table including the text
-Select convert to block option
-Give scale unifromly and tick allow exploding. And press ok.
As we have selected ,convert to block option , the object itself is converted to block and we do not have to insert it again.
RESULT:
a. The Custom_1 title block is created :
b. Custom2_titleblock:
1) Make table:
- Draw rectangle of 300and 100 mm. Explode it ,create rows and columns.
- Divide it with line for the text box into columns (from left side) offset horizontally 15mm,15mm,300mm and ( from right side) 120mm,30mm and 30mm. also trim unecessary line
- For rows, take offset vertically of 20mm(5times),40mm, 30mm(5times).
- Divide it with line for the text box into columns (on top side) offset horizontally 20mm,75mm,20mm and (on bottom side) 40mm,25mm and 38mm. also trim unecessary line
- For rows, take offset vertically from bottom 20mm(2times),10mm (6times).also trim unecessary line.
2) write text by using attribute:
- write text in bottom table With the use of multiline text insert the following: height 2.5,3 and 10 used
Now write text in top table by using attribute,
By attributes , create the text inside it
Command "ATT" - attribute defenition dilaogue box apperas .
Insert the tag line - tag we are giving ,visible before creating the block.
-prompt : Question we need to add what we need to enter
- default : the value shown in drawing after making it as a block.
- we have selected lock position here
For eg: In the first row 1st column "C" is the text to be diplayed. Command "ATT"
- tag: 1r
- prompt : 1r row
- default: C
- Place the tag line on the place we need to here 1st row 1st column of the box created.
- Create attributes similarly for the rest of the text.
- The attributes created are:
Now,
3) Create a block:
- Command "B" with name Custom2_titleblock , select the whole tilteblock and make it as a block
- After creting it as a block we can see that all arrtibutes will change to their default values. and we can edit block.
Result:
b. Custom2_tiltleblock is created:
