Once finished proceed the other side

Do this to designated all the canopies

Provides the dimension and text required in the drawing

Use dimlinear to provide dimension and utilize dimcontinue for better progress

Apply dimension breaks in places required

Use dtext command to provide the texts. Text height is 250mm

Add the text designated for the doors and windows

Now add the dimensions use dimbreak command to avaiod intersecting lines

Floor plan

-------> Proceed with section A-A

Project section AA from plan drawing. Use vertical XLINE or ray tool. Then create a horizontal line to act as the base of the elevation. This will be the Ground level.Beam height is 350mm

Use the offset command to project the given elevations. LArge the stair first to avoid confusion. Then sketch the column according to first projected line

Add the dimension for reference

Project the Ground slab then sktech the columns. Trim the excess lines and create the boundaries

Complete the sidewall sketch and add beams where required

Slab thickness is 115mm. Sketch the at all elevations

Continue one by one per elevation.Proceed the rooftop sketch and draw the tank as shown.Adjust the tank dimension and add the top opening.Proceed with the stairs. Consider teh given rise. Change lines to hidden line for those on the other side

Add the side windows when adding the canopy

Add the dimensions. Use dimlinear to provide the dimesnsion

Add the necessary texts in the sketch using dtext command

Add leaders for necessary texts using the leader command or use the Mleader command to add leadres with text

(Section A-A)

--------->Proceed with the layout . Go to the layout view and create the views using MVIEW command

Double click inside the view to move align the object inside

Then take a plot

You can change printer to DWG to PDF to ceate PDF file

RESULT:

Create a layout of the kitchen drawn in challenge 9 as shown in figure. Use the scale as shown in the figure. Use size page for the layout take a plot

PROCEDURE:

Create the inside boundary using rectangle command. Offset the by 230mm outside to create the wall thicknes

Explode the rectangles.Offset to make the opening boundary and trim

Create the hatching boundaries

Hatch the wall using "Pick internal points" and edit using the hatch tab on top of the interface or the properties tab

Create the door. use polylines,rectangles and circle. Utilize mirror tool as well

Proceed with the window sketch. Use the same tools used in creatingthe door

Join the lines to close the window

Duplicate the plan for above and below counter

--->Proceed with below the counter plan

Create lines,trim lines and fillet corners with radius 100. Change linetype to hidden. Change line scale in properties tab to show the lines

Create the lines for the intersection.Use line and copy tool

To create dimensions, use dimlinear command and dimmcontinue for easy progress

Adjustements are provided to accomodate the 4300 inner dimensions

Offset lines to create depth.Use trim to cut unnecessary lines

Add the rectangle object at the corners and sletch the door using rectangle and move tool. Utilize the sketch tool to for easy progress. Use 10mm spacing for the doors and 20mm thickness

Create the HOb sketch. Use rectangle with 600x500 dimension. Circles with diameter of 200 and 150

Turn on Geometric center in the Osnap settings to check the center of the rectangle

Use mirror with center of the rectangle as mirror plane to dumplicate the objects

Then mirror again to invert objets

Use dtext to add the text object

Proceed with the top part. Create boundary lines using line tools

Trim the lines and add line objects to enclose the boundaries

Vertical line thickness is 20mm both sides. The top line 10mm and 50mm for the bottom line

Change the outer bottom line to hidden line. Use match properties (ma) command for easy progress

Trim unnecessary lines to finish

Create therectangle on the lower right side

Create the doors with 20mm thickness and 10mm spacing same as the first one

Add the inside objects using circle,rectangle,copy,text and fillet tool

Use rectangle and lines for the fridge object. Use circle tool as cell for the corner opeing

Add the text and finish

-------> Proceed with the above counter

Copy any relative lines from below to above plan. Change line type as appropriate

Add the border lines for the below part. Trim the line appropriately

Create the cabinet walls using offset and trim tool. Thickness is 20mm. Bottom part is 10mm

Trim unnecessary lines

Create the chimney as below

Add Centerline in the Linetype manager

Explode the dimension line and edit as below. Add the appropriate texts using dtext command

Proceed with above objects. Create boundary lines. trim the lines appropriately

Create the walls. Thickness=20mm Use offset,copy and trim tools.

Trim and add the rectangles and add text

Add the missing dimensions using dimlinear to finish

------------> Now proceed to the layout and plotting

Go to page setup to setup the paper

Use 1:25 as plot scale. You can change arrangement as required

Create the views using MNIEW comman

Add the texts using dtext command

Take a plot

PROCEDURE:

Create the borders using lines. Start from ground level

Add the grid tags and dimensions

Add the borders of wall

Trim the unnecessary lines

Do the same procedure for the top slab

Add the wall hatch

Add lines inside

Create the duct

Add necessary texts and dimensions using dimlinear,dtext,move, and copy tool

Add arrows using the leader command

Add the manhole use line and trim command

------>Proceed with the layout

Go to page setup to setup the paper

Use 1:1 as plot scale you can change arrangemenyt as required

Create the views using MVIEW command

Take a Plot

RESULT:

CONCLUSION:

The MVIEW command of the AutoCAD software is a useful way to create multiple views of different scale in the layout. IT helps the user to manipulate certain sizes to make use of the actual size of the paper. the AutoCAd software also provide ceratin templates that will help the user provide title blocks that can be used as reference in a project
