1).

AIM: creating templates, inserting text and attributes

• custom 1_title block.
• custom 2_title block.

procedure:

custom1-title 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 5mm,10mm,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15mm
• by multiline text, type, rev, 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 multiple 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_titleblock"- 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 selected, if we have selected, if we want to use the block goto inset select the object and insert it.

custom 2 title block

draw rectangle of 252mm and 46mm with lines divide the to the required rows and column.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 column. by attributes, create the text inside it

it command "ATT" - attribute definition dialogue box appears.

insert the tag line -tag we are giving visible before creating the block

prompt: question we need to add what are need to enter

default the value shown in drawing after making it as a block.

for eg. in the first-row 1st column "c" is the text to be displayed, command "ATT"

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

now create a block command "B" with name custom2 title box select the whole title block and make it as a block. after creating it as a block we can see that all attributes will change to their default values.

result:

1. the custom_1title block is created:

2. the custom2_title block is created:

- select delete- tick box of scale uniformly and explode all.

similarly create 5 blocks: A,B,C,D,E and insert each of the bars as blocks.

inserting blocks in the table:

create a table with rectangle and divide it into 6 rows and 7 columns. with multiline text enter type, shape size, length number, unit weight, total weight and all other text.

by command ''i'' insert each of the block in respective columns.

result :

template is drawn and text and attributes are inserted.

doors of warehouse are drawn and placed it in blocks

electrical legend are created and it is made into blocks

different types of doors for residential project are drawn and are placed in blocks

bars are drawn and made it as blocks and inserted it in table as bar bending schedule.
