Aim - To create Template inserting text and attributes.

Procedure -

A) Custom 1

Steps -

• Create a rectangle of 66.63mm and 158mm
• Divide the line into two columns
• Take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15 for horizontal line
• Using Multiline text type rev,description ,by date,date on first box by text height 2.5 and style as Times New Roman
• Again use multiline text and type the required text in caps with text height 1.5 and style as Times New Roman
• Now create the block using block command and give the name as Custom 1 title block and then select the pick point and select the point in table and then select object and then select the whole table including the text

Result - Custom 1 title block -

B) Custom 2

Steps -

• Draw a rectangle of 252mm and 46mm
• Using line command divide the rows and column
• using Multiline text insert the following height 2.5
• Create a small rectangle at right corner and explode it and create rows and column
• using Attributes create the text inside it
• Command box of Attribute definition dialogue box is appear
• Create attribute similarly for the rest of text
• Now create the block using block command with name Custom 2 title block then select the whole title block and make it block
• After creating it as block we can see that all attributes will change to their default value.

Result - Custom 2 title block -

Aim - To create doors for warehouses and placing it in block

2) Double gang switch - Draw a circle and draw two horizontal lines and vertical incline line

3) Triple gang switch - Draw circle, one vertical line and three horizontal line

4) Single two way switch - Draw same as single gang switch and with donut command give internal dia as zero and for external dia give 64mm

5) Double two way switch - Draw same as double gang switch and create donut

6) Triple two way switch - Draw same as triple gang create donut

7) Switch cross - Create a circle and donut inside and with line command draw an incline vertical and perpendicular horizontal and mirror the line in both direction

8) Switch serial - Cppy the switch cross and delete two bottom lines,remove the donut also

9) Single socket - Create a circle and divide it into half portion and draw line at top

10) Single socket for lamp - From single socket draw a horizontal line perpendicular to vertical line

11) Double socket - Draw a single socket and copy it to create and place it

12) Floor socket single - Draw a rectangle surrounding to single socket

13) Floor single socket for lamp - draw a rectangle surrounding to single socket for lamp

14) Floor socket double - Create two single socket and palce a rectangle surrounding to it

15) Floor socket single telephone - Draw a single socket triangle and surrounded by rectangle

16) Floor socket double telephone - draw 2 single socket and a triangle surrounded by rectangle

17) telephone socket - Draw a triangle

18) Internat socket - Insert text "i" in triangle

19) Tv socket - Insert text "TV" in triangle

20) Weatherproof socket - Insert text "W" in triangle

21) Dect base section - Draw a rectangle,delete the bottom grip point,select add vertex and then pull the vertex to create a bend and with lines draw lines

22) Wall bracket - With rectangle draw base ,create a circle and draw line connecting to recatngle and circle .draw a cross line inside the circle

23) Picture lamp - draw two rectangle connected by lines

step 2 - Creating them as block -

• give command B and give name as single gang switch,pick a point ,select object,tick scale uniformly and allow exploding option
• Similarly,define each one of them as block giving the respective names
• Step 3 - cretaing and arranging them in layers -
• First craete a rectangular table having 10 rowa and 6 columns
• Place each of blocks in the respective rows and columns
• To enter text with block from insert tab,select field,select object and finally select block
• Place the text in respective rows give text height as 100
• Similarly palce all the titles inside the legend
