WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.320 Welcome back. In this video we will work on the voice data outlet symbol. Let's go 00:07.320 --> 00:20.120 file new, use our template, and file save. This will be voice-data, and I'll hit save, 00:20.120 --> 00:33.380 and let's create our e-symbols layer, layer properties, new layer, e-syms. The 00:33.380 --> 00:44.200 color will be color 61, and double click to make this our active layer. This 00:44.200 --> 00:49.520 symbol, if you check your handout, is a triangle that's connected to a horizontal 00:49.520 --> 00:57.080 line. That horizontal line is in the symbol, and typically it will be connected to the wall. 00:57.080 --> 01:06.660 If we check, we see that this is 1 ¼ inch by ¼ inch. In essence, this shape is a square. 01:06.660 --> 01:13.700 Now if we look at our absolute coordinates, I'm not exactly sure where 0-0 is, but I would 01:13.700 --> 01:19.580 guess that it is at the bottom of the triangle. Also, that means I'm not exactly sure where 01:19.580 --> 01:26.060 the corners of my square are. But to start, I know that I can simply create a rectangle 01:26.060 --> 01:33.260 of that size. Let's do that together. I'll go up to my rectangle tool, and this might 01:33.260 --> 01:38.620 be hidden by the polygon tool. So using the fly out, I'll make sure I can see the rectangle 01:38.620 --> 01:45.980 tool, and I'll pick rectangle. In this case, we do not know exactly where the rectangle 01:45.980 --> 01:53.060 is going to go, so I'm going to click anywhere on the screen to start. Because I know I will 01:53.060 --> 01:59.220 move the rectangle into the appropriate location in a minute. Now in order to get an exact 01:59.220 --> 02:06.100 size of 1 ¼ inch by ¼ inch, I can either use relative coordinates or the dimensions 02:06.100 --> 02:12.700 option. Let's use relative coordinates in this case. I'll go at, which means from my 02:12.700 --> 02:23.940 previous point, 0.25 comma 0.25, enter to lock it in, and zoom extents. In order to check 02:23.940 --> 02:29.540 to see the size of this rectangle, I need to use the measure geometry tool. And that can 02:29.540 --> 02:38.980 be found on the Home tab, Utilities panel, Measure geometry. Now this is the Quick Measure 02:38.980 --> 02:46.580 tool, and historically, distance and the other options were the ones we would use. But for 02:46.580 --> 02:55.300 now, let's use Quick Measure. The Quick Measure will turn our cursor into an orange highlight, 02:55.300 --> 03:00.340 and when we move inside of the square, it will automatically show us some information 03:00.340 --> 03:06.980 about our geometry. It is telling me that this square is exactly 1 ¼ inch by ¼ inch, 03:06.980 --> 03:13.820 and that all four angles are right angles. The Quick Measure tool is a great way to quickly 03:13.820 --> 03:20.780 see distances and angles in your model. When I have confirmed that this is 1 ¼ inch by 03:20.780 --> 03:29.660 1 ¼ inch, I'll hit Escape. And now I need to move this square relative to 0 0. In order 03:29.660 --> 03:34.700 to put this in its right place, I know that I need to move it from the midpoint of the 03:34.700 --> 03:43.380 bottom line to the real world coordinate 0 comma 0. In order to do that, I am doing a point 03:43.380 --> 03:55.060 to point move from the midpoint to 0 comma 0. So I will go move, choose my square, enter 03:55.060 --> 04:04.340 to lock it in, shift right click midpoint to find the bottom midpoint here, and I'll 04:04.340 --> 04:12.660 move that to 0 comma 0. I don't know where that is relative, so this is an absolute coordinate, 04:12.660 --> 04:19.780 enter to lock it in. Now it might look like your rectangle was deleted, but if I look 04:19.780 --> 04:26.020 at the command prompt, it says 0 comma 0, and that tells me it's moved. Let's do a zoom 04:26.020 --> 04:33.140 extents, and there it is. Now how do we know that it's at 0 comma 0? We can use another 04:33.140 --> 04:42.180 measure utility called ID point. If I come up to utilities, I can see ID points, and this 04:42.180 --> 04:48.980 lets me pick one singular point, and it will tell me that data. I'll shift right click midpoint 04:50.500 --> 04:59.940 and choose right here. By checking my command prompt, I can see that this point is at 0, 0, and 0. 04:59.940 --> 05:06.660 This is in the perfect location. Now I can see that we have started to draw the correct geometry, 05:06.900 --> 05:12.340 but we do not need two of these lines. We do not need this vertical line, 05:13.140 --> 05:20.580 or this vertical line. So I would like to delete them. However, if I use the select tool, 05:20.580 --> 05:26.100 we can see that this is a polyline, and I cannot simply hit delete or else my whole polyline would 05:26.100 --> 05:33.300 be erased. The same thing will happen with the erase tool. Instead, what I need to do is to 05:33.300 --> 05:39.460 explode this object, and explode takes a polyline and converts it into a series of lines. 05:40.260 --> 05:46.980 The explode tool is found in between erase and offset, and I can choose my rectangle 05:48.420 --> 05:54.020 and hit enter to say I'm done selecting objects, and it will explode my geometry. 05:54.900 --> 06:02.100 Now when I pick on these two sides, they are single objects. Let's do that again. I'll undo. 06:03.380 --> 06:11.940 I'll choose my explode tool, pick my rectangle, and hit enter to say that I am done selecting objects. 06:13.860 --> 06:18.340 Now I can pick this line, and this line, and hit the delete key. 06:21.460 --> 06:29.460 Now in order to draw these next lines, we will use the enter enter trick, which is to go back 06:29.460 --> 06:35.460 into a tool. We will also turn on our midpoint in endpoint running object snaps. 06:36.420 --> 06:44.180 First, let's do our object snaps. I will choose midpoint and endpoint, and I will turn off quadrant, 06:45.140 --> 06:50.580 and I'll make sure that this is on, and then I will choose my line tool. 06:52.420 --> 06:55.540 Now my first point will be the midpoint at the bottom, 06:56.260 --> 07:02.740 and I will go to the end point at the top. I will hit enter to say that I am done, 07:03.780 --> 07:10.980 and I will hit enter to go back in. Enter is kind of like redo from your previous tool. 07:10.980 --> 07:17.220 So I'll hit enter, and you'll notice I am back in line. I can click this midpoint again, 07:17.940 --> 07:22.820 or you might see the endpoint of the line we just drew. I'll come up to this midpoint, 07:23.620 --> 07:29.220 enter to say I am done, enter to go back in. I'll pick down here again, 07:30.180 --> 07:36.660 and I'll pick this corner, enter to say that I am done. If you have a tool that you're using 07:36.660 --> 07:43.700 over and over, line, or fillets, or offset, you might be able to use the enter enter trick, 07:43.700 --> 07:50.420 to end your command, and then start it again. The last thing we need to do for this project is to 07:50.420 --> 08:00.500 add our hatch. I will choose the hatch tool, solid, pick points, and this right triangle is what I 08:00.500 --> 08:11.780 need to pick. Enter to lock it in, zoom extents, control us to save. In the next video, we will work on 08:11.780 --> 08:19.380 the television outlet.
