ReMark Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Why not use a predefined AutoCAD template that already has this type of information on it as the basis for your custom title block and border? Open Tutorial-mArch.dwt and take a look for yourself. Edited October 11, 2011 by ReMark Quote
sachin Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 o yes, its quite simple. Thank you can u please look at this drawing, i m using array command to draw that but i cant get it right. Doc1.doc Quote
ReMark Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I looked at your drawing. I have no idea what you have in mind for an end result. What is not right? Quote
sachin Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 actully i m drawing fan in electrical wiring diagram. But u know the figure which i uploaded i want to draw same like that no matter about dimension, size, scale. but using array command i am not getting exact as it is in doc file. My end result should be the uploaded drawing. that drawing i have just copy paste it from another software not from autocad. Quote
ReMark Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Well you don't say exactly where the problem is but I suspect you drew one blade and arrayed it (8 blades total) when, in my opinion, there are two slightly different blades (4 of each). This is how I view it. The blades at 0, 90, 180 and 270 are the same. The blades at 45, 135, 225 and 315 are the same. Quote
ReMark Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 A close up view of the fan blades at the center of the polygon. Is this clearer to you now? Quote
sachin Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 i still wondering how did u do that? i drew one blade and using array command i tried to put another at different angle but its not coming exactlay as u did. Quote
ReMark Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 If all eight blades were exactly the same, shape-wise, then it would be just a matter of telling AutoCAD that you want 8 objects equally rotated around a 360 deg circle. But we have four on one set of quadrant points and four on another set. I "cheated" and used the SNAPANG command to array the objects that appear at 45 deg angles to the others. The easiest option is to specify the angle between (90 deg) in this case. Either way will give you the same results. Quote
