Pennfoster's Elecrical and electronic schematic drafting project

[HARPAL]

Hi Car5858

Could please guide me find a symbols block library,I need for this project.I don't have any idea about there dimentions to creat my own blocks.

Thanks

Which project number(s) are you referring to?

An electrical schematic is not usually drawn to a particular scale so symbol size is somewhat flexible. Large enough to be seen when printed but not so large they overwhelm the intent of the drawing.

[HARPAL]

It is project number 05404301
Thanks

I guess I should have asked that a different way.

Is the the house plan with electrical system or is this the "elective"?

Or is it the inductive load drivers and u-scan brush selection?

This is an example of what one student did.

[HARPAL]

Thanks
Actually I did have gone through this image.As I do not have any knowledge to creat these symbols or you can say not very confident yet that is why I was looking for some ready made symbols for this assignment.I really appericiate yours help.I do have some issues with my civil drafting elective project plate 2-3.and I would attach a copy of pdf and my dwg. in my next post to get help from yourself.

Thanks again

I think you should attempt to create the symbols yourself as it would be a good learning experience. It's too easy using symbols already created by someone else.

[HARPAL]

yes I do think in the same way.and will try to draft symbols at my own.

Thanks

Hi Remark

Here is my new issue. and it is for Elective civil drafting project.I didn't get how to proceed with drafting new contours as shown in attached pdf file.I have studied these 2-3 pages for a couple of time but I don't know why I am so dumb that it is not going in my brain.I feel My brain stopped working now.It is very hard to learn by taking online courses.
thanks.

I would have to go through the instructions re: driveway contours in their entirety to see what is being asked.

Thank u very much .I would really appericiate.

Also, Just use a standard Measurement when doing the U-Scan and binary Code thingy....Blocks are a very useful tool to use.
Remember, Its your Own scale, Make Symbols Have a Standard. Imagine Legos If you will.

I have just started into the graded projects for this course as well and I would have to agree that creating blocks has been the most frustrating and reward moments so far.

yes that too. Dont make them too complex, but always strive to make things simple in complex situations

Hi, I am having a very basic problem with the electrical drafting project. I have finished both plates and now ready to insert my title block. However for plate 1 they say use the title block at a scale of 1=1. Does this mean I cannot scale the title block to fit around the drawing, or do I scale down the drawing to fit in the 17x11 title block? No other project has stated this, so just a bit confused.

[HARPAL]

Hi Chloe
I am done with this course a couple of weeks before and have got 93% average scores.I guess the scale for plate-1 is 1"=1' and not 1=1.this dwg fits very well on that scale in portrait view and we do have some extra room left for legend etc.Whenever you need help please feel free to contact me at bhasinharpal@hotmail.com

Normally one draws blocks at 1:1 scale and not to a particular scale. When the block is inserted in a drawing a scale factor can be specified.

Agreed, usually all things are drawn in model space, and then you switch to your paper space. create a View port, add a standard title sheet , and then hand it in.

Penn-Foster does not teach the use of paper space layouts and viewports.

Yes very true, i had to learn that on my own.

Also with schematic drawings like these, try to draw it out first on a piece of paper, and figure out the best way to organize it. Its alot easier to visualize it (in my opinion though, as i was a art major)

Thank you in advance.

project number 05404301

[ReMark]

Is that Project Plate 4-1 on page 62 "Drafting with AutoCAD Elective Project"? It's a residential floor plan?

[gowinmodi]

Hi Remark,
This is not elective project.

Plate 1 of the electrical project was posted back in February of this year.
