in this tutorial we will create front
view of this control panel
this is MCC that is motor control center
at first we will create this square of
1200 by 1200 and then we will offset
these lines at a distance of 400
click here scroll down and select acadiso.dwt
then to check the unit setting type UN enter
Here I am using length type of decimal
precision of four digits angle type is
decimal degrees precision is zero and
insertion scale is millimeter so I will
be using default settings I am not
making any changes click on OK then I am
keeping here object snap tracking on
then object snaps are also on and if you
click on this arrow so I am using
endpoint midpoint Center quadrant
intersection and extension object snaps
click on rectangle then specify first
corner point take your cursor away then
specify size of 1200 comma 1200
enter then zoom it
now this is a single object for offset we
will need separate objects so we
will have to break it for breaking this
square into individual objects you will
have to use explode command click on
explode then select object enter now
these entities has been separated then
click on offset then specify offset
distance of 400 enter then select object
click on multiple then click and click
then press escape
