Creating Bar Bending schedule, Different Door types, and Creation of standard drawing templates using AutoCad

Aim: creating template inserting text and attributes:

Custom 1_ title block:

• Create a rectangle of size 66.63mm and 158 mm 
• Divide it with line for the text box into columns
• For rows, take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15 mm.
• 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, rows 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 "Custom1_ 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.

. Creating doors for Wearhouse and plotting in the block:

1. Door 1 - 2330 x 2750 mm
2. Door 2 - 2330 x2750 mm

Door 1 -2330x2750mm:

Create a rectangle of size 2330x2750mm.

Offset 50mm as a frame. 90mm for the left side.Explode the rectangle. 

By divide "DIV" divide 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 corners of the outside and inside rectangle.

Create the panel as a block, so that it is easy to copy.Create lock by rectangle command, and fillet the corners 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 uniformly and allow exploding.

Door 2 -2330 x2750mm:

Create a rectangle of size 2330x2750mm.Offset 50mm as a frame. 90mm for the left side.Explode the rectangle. 

By divide "DIV" divide the top line into 4 segments.From the division point, draw lines vertically to divide it into shutters.To make the 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, frame in different layers 

Create it as a block "B" - pick a corner point - select the whole door -tick the box of scale uniformly- explode.

Aim: to create electrical legend:

. Create the all symbols in AutoCAD 

Creating them as block:

Command "B" give name as single gang switch - pick a point - select object (created single gang switch) - tic

 scale uniformly and allow exploding options.

Aim: drawing of doors type for residential building:

1). D1 - 2'10" x 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 corners 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- selec the object. then block is created.

. 

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

Draw rectangle for panel 1'11" and 2'9.1", then offset 1" two times.Draw a rectangle 5.4" x 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" x 2'0.6". Offset 1" 3 timesDraw another rectangle inside this of 1'0.8" x 1' 1.2" and offset 1".

Draw lock by circle in between the two panels.Write text by multiline text "D2".

Create it as block "B"- give name as "type-D2" -pick a corner point- select the object, then block is created.

3). D3 -2'9" x 6'11" :

Draw a rectangle of 2'9" x 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" x 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 a block Command "B" - give name as type d3 -pick point- select object -tick scale uniformly and explode all.

4). D4 - 3'9" x 8'7" :

Draw rectangle "REC" of dimension 3'9" x 6'10".Explode it and create an arc with 2-point method with both point as the endpoints.Offset the arc and the line with 1.5" and then 1".

Offset 8" from arc and rectangle for panel and divide it into two .Take 1" offset 2 times to show the thickness on top figure and bottom rectangle.Create rectangles inside the panel.

For lock, create a circle.

Make it a block, name as type D4 - pick a point and select the object tick the dialogue box of uniform scale and explode all.

5). D5 - 3'5" x 6'8" :

Draw a rectangle of 3'5" x 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" x 2'2.6".Offset 1" two times for both rectangles.

Create rectangle inside for panels with offset 0.5".Copy it for 3 columns and 4 rows.Similarly copy it in bottom rectangle for 3 rows and 3 columns.

Create it as a block Command "B" - give name as type D5 -pick point- select object -tick scale uniformly and explode all.

6). D6 - 3'5" x 7' 11.6" :

Draw rectangle "REC" of dimension 3'5" x 7'11.6".Explode it and create an arc with 2-point method with both point as the endpoints.Offset the arc and the line with 1.5" and then 1" for frame.

Offset 8" from arc and rectangle for panel and divide it into two.Take 1" offset 2 times to show the thickness on top figure and bottom rectangle.Create rectangles inside the top panel, 3 row and 4 columns.

For bottom panel, offset the rectangles by 1" 3 time as and 3.3" and again 1".For lock, create a circle.

Make it a block ,name as type D6 - pick a point and select the object tick the dialgue box of uniform scale and explode all.

Aim: creating of bar bending shedule:

. Drawing the all shapes bars as shown in figure. 

Creating each of them as block by using Command -"B'- give name as A - pick a point- select the object - select delete - tick box of scale uniformly and explode all.

. And inserting all blocks in to the table.
