Creating Bar Bending schedule, Different Door types, and Creation of standard drawing templates using AutoCad

1.

AIM:

        To create the templates as shown in figure, add texts, attributes and save the templates as blocks with names custom titleblock 1 and custom titleblock 2. Explain the procedure step by step and show the result.

INTRODUCTION:

        AutoCAD is a computer aided design software and drafting software application.

        In this project, I have used various commands like,

        * Line, XLine, Join - to create the objects

        * DText - to mention texts

        * Block definition - to create blocks

        * Attribute definition - to create attributes

        * Copy - to create objects.

        * Fillet, Trim/erase, Offset, trim, ED - are regularly used at various places to complete the diagrams.

        In the next step, the procedure is explained perfectly.

PROCEDURE:

• Open AutoCAD software
• Start from scratch
• Set the units to engineering and select ok
• Set limits as lower left corner (0,0) and upper right corner (500',500')
• First, I have created the table and mentioned the texts wherever required.      
• Using Attribute Definition, I have created a tag named Rev(revision) with prompt as changes made in the diagram and default as 1st.
• Checked all other requirements and selected OK.
• The insertion point was specified on screen.
• The following image shows that I have created a total 6 attribute definitions ( 3 as Rev Tags and 3 as Description tags).
• Then, using Block definition I have selected the whole Template, picked a base point and named the block as CUSTOM_TitleBlock1.
• Using INSERT Command, I have selected the CUSTOM_TitleBlock1 and inserted it on the screen where i required.
• These are the attributes I have created in this block and the EDIT ATTributes allows me to make any changes in the last before inserting the block on the screen.
•  The Following Image shows the Final output of REV and DESCRIPTION attributes after inserting the block on the screen.
• Similarly, for the second diagram too, I have created the table and mentioned the texts wherever required.
• In the Next step, I have added ATTRIBUTES using Attribute Definition.
•  Using Block Definition I have selected the whole template, picked a base point and named the block as CUSTOM_TitleBlock2.
•  Using INSERT command, I have selected the block CUSTOM_TitleBlock2 and inserted it on the screen
• The following image shows all the Attributes that i have created in this block.

•  This is the final output after the block with attributes is inserted.

PROCEDURE:

• Open AutoCAD software
• Start from scratch
• Set the units to Decimal and select ok
• Set limits as lower left corner (0,0) and upper right corner (500',500')
• Using the commands,

               Line, Polyline, Xline, Offset, Fillet and trim, I have created the door type 1.

•  Using Block Definition, I have selected the whole door, picked a base point, named the block as DOOR 1 and convert to Block.

• The following image shows the DOOR 1 as a single block object with the base point in the top left.

• Similarly, Using the commands,

•                Line, Polyline, Xline, Offset, Fillet and trim, I have created the door type 2.

• Then, Using Block Definition I have selected the whole door, picked a base point, named the block as DOOR 2 and convert to Block.

• The following image shows the DOOR 2 as a single block object with the base point in the top left.

RESULT:

         Warehouse Doors as Single blocks.

AIM:

       To create each symbol as a block with names given in the legend and insert them and create a complete legend as shown in figure. Explain the procedure step by step and display the result.

INTRODUCTION:

       AutoCAD is a computer aided design software and drafting software application.

        In this project, I have used various commands like,

        * Line, XLine, Circle, Hatch, Join - to create the objects

        * DText - to mention texts

        * Block definition - to create blocks

        * Field - to insert names of the blocks in the table.

        * Copy - to create objects.

        * Fillet, Trim/erase, Offset, trim, ED - are regularly used at various places to complete the diagrams.

        In the next step, the procedure is explained perfectly.

PROCEDURE:

• Open AutoCAD software
• Start from scratch
• Set the units to engineering and select ok
• Set limits as lower left corner (0,0) and upper right corner (500',500')
• Using the commands,

                         Line and circle, I have created the Single Gang Switch as shown in figure.

• Using Block Definition I have selected the whole switch diagram, picked a base point, named the block as SINGLE GANG SWITCH and convert to block.
•  Similarly, I have created all the symbols and using block definition i have converted them into blocks with names given in the legend.
• The following images shows the block definitions for two other symbols.
• The following image shows all the Symbols as blocks with names given in the legend.
•  After creating all the symbols and converting them into blocks, I created a tabular column with headings.
• Then, using FIELD Option, I have inserted the block names in the tabular column.
•  This is the image of tabular column after using FIELD option to mention the block names.
• In order to remove the shade behind the block names, Select all the names and EXPLODE it.
• This is the final image after the Block names are mentioned.

RESULT:

      The complete legend with block symbols and its names
