Aim:Creating templates,inserting text and attributes

* Custom 1_title block

* Custom 1_title block

Procedure:

Custom 1_ title block

*Create a rectangle of size 66.63mm and 158mm

*Divide it with line for the text bix into columns

*For rows,take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15mm

*By multiline text, type rev, description,by, date on the first row by text height 2.5 and style - Times new roman.

* As it is repeated in the other two rows, take array give column as 1 row as 3 spacing between rows as 7.

* Again, use multiline text and type the required text in caps with text height 1.5 and style as Times new romans.

Creating block:

Command B- block definition dialogue box appears- give name as Custom 1 title block"- select pick point and select a point in the table-select the object- select the whole table including the text. Give scale uniformly and tick allow exploding. select convert to block option.

As we have selected retain the object it will be retain and same as the actual drawing and a block is created for the object that we have seleted . if we want to used the block gote insert select the object and insert it.

Custom 2- title block:

Draw rectangle of 252 and 46mm with lines divide the to the required rows and columns.

with the use of multiline text insert the following height 2.5.

Create a small rectangle at the right corner , explode it create rows and columns.

By attributes, create the text inside it . command ATT- attribute definition dialog box appears.

Insert the tag line tag we are giving visible before creating the block.

Prompt : Question we need to add what we need enter

Default : the value shown in drawing after making it as block.

For e.g in the first row first column C is the text to be displayed. command ATT

Place the tag line on the place we need to hear 1st row 1st column of the box created .create attributes similarly for the rest of the text .the attribute created are.

Now create a block command B with name Custom2_titleblock,select the whole title block and make it as a block .after creating it as a block we can see that all attribute will change to their default values.

Result:

i) The Custom_1 title block is created :

ii) The custom _ 2 title block is created:

Aim: Creating doors for warehouse and placing it in blocks:

1.Door 1- 2330*2750mm

2.Door 2- 2330*2750mm

Procedure:

Door -1- 2330*2750mm:

Created a rectangle of size 2330*2750mm.

Offset 50mm as a frame . 90mmfor the left side . Explode the top line into 4 segments. from the division point,draw lines vertically to divide it into shutters.

Offset 25mm on both sides for the thickness, delete the centre line.

Create a rectangle to show the panels. offset 20mm from the 1st rectangle and offset 100mm from the 2nd rectangle . draw lines joining the cotners of the outside and inside rectangle.

Create the panel as a block , so that is easy to copy . craete lock by rectangle command, and filled the corneds with radius 5mm.

By using the copy all the frames are copied.

Layer is created and all the objects are kept in different layers.

Creating block:

Command B- Give name as door 1- pick point - select corner point- select object- select the full object- ok. select scale uniformely and allow exploding.

Door 2- 2330*2750mm:

Create a rectangle of size 2330*2750mm. Offset 50mm as a frame.

90mm for the left side. Explode the rectangle.

By divide DIV the top into 4 segments. from the division point , draw lines vertically to divide it into shutters. To make thye points visible, command DDPTYPE select the style of point

Offset 25mm on both sides for the thickness, delete the centre line. create lock by rectangle drawn on opposite sides and fillet the corners with radius 5mm.

Make layers and insert lock, framein different layers

Creates it as a block B- pick a corner point- select the whole door- tick the box of scale uniformely- explode.

Result: The doors block was created.

Door 2:

Aim: To create electrical legend

1.Create each electrical symbol

2.Creating them as block

3.Arranging them in legends

Procedure:

Creating electrical symbols

Single gang switch:Draw a circle of radius 64mmand with line draw an inclined line vertical and horizontal line perpendicular to the inclined as required.

Double gang switch: Draw circle and draw two horizontal lines and a vertical incline line.

Triple gang switch: Draw circle, 1 vertical incline and three horizontal lines.

Single two- way switch: draw same as single switch and donout command give internal dia as zero and for external diameter select it in the circle .

Double two way switch: Draw same as double gang and craete donout.

Triple two -way switch: draw same as triple gang switch and create donout.

switch cross: Create a circle and donout inside and with line command draw and inclined vertical and perpendicular horizontal.mirror the line in both directions.

Switch serial: copy the switch cross and delete two bottom lines, remove the donout also.

Single socket: Create a circle , divide it into half and draw a line atthe top.

Single socket for lamp: From the single socket, draw a horizontal line perpendicular to vertical.

Double socket: Draw the single socket and copy it to create same and place it using snap on.

Floor socket single: Draw a rectangle surrounding single socket.

Floor socket double: Create two single socket and place a rectangle surrounding it.

Floor socket single telephone: Draw a single socket, a triangle and surrounded by a rectangle.

Floor socket double, telephone: draw 2 single socket and triangle surrounding by a rectangle.

Telephone socket: Draw a triangle

Internet socket. insert text I in the triangle.

Tv socket. Insert text TV in the triangle.

Weatherproof socket. insert text W in the triangle.

Duct base section a rectangle- select the bottom grip point- select add vertex- then pull the vertex to create a bend , with line draw the lines.

Wall bracket. with rectangle draw the base, create , draw a line connecting the rectangle and circle , draw a cross line inside he circle.

Picture lamp: draw two rectangles connected by a line.

Creating them as block.

command B give name as single gand switch-pick a point - select object (created single gang switch)-tick scale uniformly and allow exploding options.

Simlilarly define each one them as block giving the respective names. do the same procedure for the remaining symbols.

creating and arranging hem in layers:

First create a rectangular table having 10 rows and 6 columns.

Place each of the blocks in the respective rows and columns.

To enter text with the block from the insert tab-select field- select object- select block.

e.g: for single gang switch- select from the field- select uppercase in format.

Place the text in the respective rows give text height to 150. similarly place all the title inside the legends.

Procedureb :

1).D1-2'10"*6'11"

Draw rectangle with dimension 2'10" and 6'11".Draw offset 1.5" for frame.draw offset 1" for shutter.

Draw lock by two rectangles

Perpendicular to each other and fillet the corner with radius 0.1" and circle . write text by multiline text D1

Create it as block B give name as type-D1 - pick a corner point- select the object. them block is created.

2).D2-3'4"*6'11"

Draw rectangle with dimension 3'4" and 6'11" draw offset 1.5" for frame draw offset a 1" for shutter.

draw rectangle for panel 1'11" and 2'9.1", then offset 1" two times. draw a rectangle 5.4"*5.7"offset 0.3"

Copy it with copy command co select mode -select the rectangle- select array- enter no:of array as 3 place it as required. copy the 3 rectangles to 4 rows. for the second panel draw a rectangle of 1'11" *2'0.6". offset 1" 3 trimes draw another rectangle inside this of 1'0.8"*1'1.2" and offset 1"

draw lock by circle in between the two panels. write text by multiline text D2.

3).D3-2'9"*6'11"

Draw a rectangle of 2'9"*6'11"

Offset 1" for thickness ,2" offset for frame ,1" thickness. offset 1.5" as shutter thickness.

Draw a rectangle at the top for ventilation 1'3"* 9.3", give offset 1"for thickness .Hatch inside the rectangle.

Create lock by rectangle two of them, perpendicular to each other and a circle .

Create it as ablock command B- Give name as type - d3 - pick point- select object - tick scale uniformely and explode all.

Draw rectangle rec of dimension 3'9"*6'10".

Explode it and create an arc with 2- point method with both point as the endpoint . offset the arc and the line with 1.5" and then 1"

Offset 8" from arc and rectangle for panel and divide ot into two .

for lock , create a circle .

D5:

Draw a rectangle of 3'5"* 6'8". Offset 1.5" for frame ,offset 1" as shutter thickness . create another rectangle inside with offset 4.4"

Create another rectangle on the bottom 2'2.9"* 2'2.6" .Offset 1" two times for both rectangles.
