Aim: Creating templates, inserting text and attributes

• Custom 1_ title block
• Custom 2_ title block

Procedure:-

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" - a dialogue box for block definition appears; enter the name "Custom1_ title block"; choose Pick Point and a point in the table; choose the object; and finally, choose the entire table, including the text.Give scale consistently and tick to permit explosion.Decide to convert to blocks.

.

Due to our decision to keep the object, it will remain the same as the drawing in its entirety.

For the objects that we have chosen, a block is created.Go to insert, choose the object, and insert it if we want to use the block.

Custom 2_ title block:

Identify the 252 and 46 mm rectangle. Divide the into the necessary rows and columns using lines.

Insert the following using multiline text: height 2.5.

Create a small rectangle with an explosion in the right corner, then add rows and columns.

Create the text inside it using the attributes.A dialogue box with attribute definitions appears when you type "ATT."

Before creating the block, add the tagline "tag we are giving, visible."

Question: Tell us what information you need us to enter.

default: the value displayed in the drawing after it has been made into a block.

For instance: The text that will be displayed is in the first-row, first column, "C." Toggle "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 attributes created are:

After selecting the entire title block, create a block with the command "B" and the name Custom2_titleblock.We can see that once it is created as a block, all attributes take on their default values.

Result:-

i) The Custom_1 title block is created:

ii) The Custom2_tiltleblock is created:

2).

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

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

Procedure:-

Door 1 -2330x2750mm:

Create a rectangle of size 2330x2750mm.

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

Divide the top line into 4 segments using the "DIV" function.Draw vertical lines from the division point to the endpoints of the shutters.

Remove the centre line and offset the thickness by 25mm on both sides.

To display the panels, make a rectangle.offset the second rectangle by 100mm from the first by 20mm, respectively.Connect the corners of the outside and inside rectangles with lines.

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.

Result: The doors block was created.

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

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

Draw a single two-way switch in the same way as a single gang switch, but instead of using the donout command, set the internal diameter to zero and the external diameter to the value you want.

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

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

Create a circle and donout inside it. Then, using the line command, draw a perpendicular horizontal and an inclined vertical. Line in both directions should be mirrored.

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 at the 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 single socket for lamp: Draw a rectangle surrounding single socket for lamp

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 a triangle surrounded 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.

.

base section of a duct Draw a rectangle, then choose the bottom grip point, add vertex, and pull the vertex to bend it before drawing the lines with a pen.

Wall bracket: Draw a rectangle for the base, a circle for the middle, a line joining the two, and a cross line inside the circle.

Picture lamp: draw two rectangles connected by a line.

Creating them as block:

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

Define each of them similarly as a block and give them their appropriate names.Repeat the process with the remaining symbols.

Making and arranging a layered hem

First, make a rectangular table with 6 columns and 10 rows.

Put each block in its appropriate row and column.

To enter text using a block from the insert tab, first select the field, then the object, and finally the block.

For instance: a single gang switch choosing from the field. - In the format, choose uppercase.

Place the text in the respective rows give text heiht to 150.Similarly place all the title inside the legends.
