in this tutorial we will add electrical
details to floor plan
normally you will receive this floor
plan from architect and if you want to
learn how to create this floor plan then
complete playlist to create this floor
plan is given in the description and if
you want to learn AutoCAD from basics
then that playlist is also given in the
description at first we will add details
to living room
at first we will create this light
before that we will create layer for
electrical click on layer properties
click on new layer
then give the name as electrical
then click here and choose color okay
then linetype will be continuous and I
will not change the lineweight I will
keep default as it is then we will also
need one more layer for these hidden
lines
for that again click on new layer then
name it as Electrical Hidden
then click here and assign color ok then
click on this continuous
Hidden is already there but if in your
case hidden is not available then you
will have to click on this load
then scroll down
and here is hidden click on it okay now
as hidden was already there
therefore it is giving the options but
if you don't have any hidden lines there
then it will not show these options
right now I will choose this reload the
line type hidden then select hidden and
click on ok so here for Electrical
Hidden layer Hidden line type is applied
then close this dialog box
and click here and make electrical layer
current then to create light click on
circle
then click Center point take your cursor
away and click then zoom there just for
reference I will show you what is my
units for units you will have to type
UN enter and here my length type is
decimal precision is four-digit angle
is decimal degrees and precision is 0
and insertion scale is millimeter
and this drawing is also created in
millimeter you can check the length for
that type DI enter then specify first
point
and click second point so here it is
showing the width of room is 3000 mm
that is 3 meter escape
then click on line
take your cursor to Center take your
cursor on this side then pressed Tab to
specify angle specify angle of 45 and
press ENTER and press ENTER then to
remove internal line type TR for trim
enter enter
then remove internal line press enter
then to array this line click here on
this arrow and select polar array then
click on this line
enter then specify center point of array
click on this center point of this
circle
and click here and specify number of
items here we will specify 4 enter
take your cursor below it will update it
and click on close array so this light
is ready then we will copy this light
below also for that click on copy select
this object enter then specify base
point I will choose this center point
take your cursor below and click and
enter then I want to shift it upward for
that you can use Move Command click on Move select this object enter click base
point take your cursor above make ortho
on and click
the next is to create this switch
for switch click on multi-line text then
specify first corner point and specify
opposite corner point
then type there S capital S then select
this S and specify the height now while
specifying the height of this text you
will have to use your judgment now in my
case the width of this wall is 300mm so
if I want to make this character of this
much height then I will have to specify
300 and if your base drawing is in
different unit then as per that you will
have to choose this height of the text
so in this case I will choose 200 enter
here it is not increase I will again
select it make it 200 enter okay it has
been changed click outside then I need
to create one vertical line before that
actually it seems to be larger so I will
reduce its size using scale command
click on scale select this object enter
then specify base point then I will give
scale of 0.7 if you want to
reduce the scale you will have to
specify scale less than one then I will
create one vertical line for that click
on line then click first point take your
cursor below ensure that Ortho is ON and
specify second point press ENTER then I
want this switch horizontal for that we
will rotate it click on rotate select
this object enter then specify base
point then take your cursor above and
click then we will move it and place it
here click on move
select this object enter then base point
will be this end point make Ortho Off
then take your cursor to this quadrant
point take your cursor above so it will
track it
then click then I will need one more
switch for fan I will copy this switch
click on copy
select this object enter then click base
point make Ortho ON take your cursor

type TR enter enter and remove this
enter then we will array click on polar
array select this object enter then
specify center point of array that
will be center of this circle
then click here and change number of
items to four enter take your cursor
below and escape so here fan is
ready then we will just move it on the
left side click on move select this
object enter give the base point take it
on the left side and click so fan is
also ready then we need to create these
wires for that click here and select
Electrical Hidden
then click on three-point arc
then click here then click here you will
have to choose this point roughly in the
middle of these two objects click here
then click here and press ENTER then
click on this quadrant point then click
here and here
then for fan press enter click here click
here and
I want to locate this point for that
press shift right click and click on
nearest so it will take the point
wherever I click so this is also ready
then I want to hide these lines for that
click here and click on this bulb symbol
before chajja so it will be invisible
so this is ready then we want same in
this bedroom so we will copy this above
so before that we will shift this bedroom
text to this corner click on move select
this object enter specify base point and
take it below and click
then to copy these shapes click on copy
then select these objects enter then
base point will be this end point and
second point will be this endpoint
escape
then we want to shift it above for that
we can use stretch command click on
stretch then for stretch you will have to
specify your first point in the empty
space and it should be on the right side
then take your cursor on the left side
and ensure that the object you want to
move are completely inside the box and

so this layout is completely ready in
the next tutorial we will create next
electrical drawing then we will also
create tutorial for next set of commands
and we will solve some exercises based
on those commands and we will also
continue our tutorial for civil and
interior so thanks for watching we will
stop here
