AIM:Creating templates, inserting text and attributes

• Custom1-titel block
• Custom2-titel block

procedure:

Custom-1 titel block:

• Create a rectangle of size 66.63mm and 158mm
• Divide it with line for the text box into columns
• For rows,take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15mm.
• By multiline text,type rev,description,by date on ther first row by text height 2.5 and style.-times New Roman.
• As it is repeated in the other two rows ,thke 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 defination dialogue box appears- give name as "custom1_titel 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 objects that we have selected .If we want to use the block go to insert select the object and insert it.

custom2titel block: 

Draw rectangle of 252 and 46 mm 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 diologue box appears.

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 marking it as a block.

For e.g.:In the first -row 1st column "C" is the text to be displayed.command "ATT"

Placing 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:

Now create a block command "B" with name Custom2_titelblock,select the whole titel block and make it as a block.After creating it as block we can see that all attributes will change to their default values.

Result:

i)The Custom_1 titel block is created:

ii)The Custom2_titelblock is created:

Procedure:

Door1-2330*2750mm:

Create a rectangle of size 2330*2750mm.

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

By divide"DIV" 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 !st 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 redius 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-select ok.Select scale uniformly and allow exploding.

 

 

 DOOR2-2330*2750MM:

 Create a rectangle of size 2330*2750mm.Offset 50mm as a frame.90mm for the left side .explode the rectangle.

By divide "DIV" 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.

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

 Weatherproof socket:Insert text"w" in the triangle.

Duct base section:Draw 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 a circle,draw a line connecting the rectangle and circle,draw 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.

Similarly define each one of them as block giving the respective names.Do the same procedure for the remaining symbols.

Creating and arranging hem in layers:First create a rectangle table having 10 rows and 6 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 titel inside the legends.
