How to create these two objects

[MVa12]

Hello my helpful friends. Two easy ones today, hoping I can get some assistance.

 

How do you create these two objects?

 

1. Is this just polylines or some basic function that I'm missing?

 

2. I believe these are callout symbols, im not positively certain though. Is this a block/object that comes with AutoCAD?

 

Sorry if im not using the correct terms. FYI I am using AutoCAD 2013.

 

Thanks in advance!!!

You will have to create an attributed block in order to mimic the arrow with the enclosed text.

Hi ReMark,

 

Thank you for the reply. Simple enough.. I will go ahead and do that.

 

As for the first image, what tools should i use to create that curved line/indicator?

[ReMark]

Curved line indicator? You mean the "cloud"?

[MVa12]

To the right of the cloud; the curved line indicator. Im so sorry if it's a simple question

[ReMark]

The bracket ?

I think he meant the curly bracket.

 

Personally I'd just be creating the above stuff manually using polylines and making it into a block. Then make the curly bracket from a couple of splines.

I wouldn't even bother. I'd used DText to make the bracket and size it accordingly. How many times do you find yourself needing one?

 

Anyway, that diagram looks like it was done in something other than AutoCAD. Kind of reminds me of a flowchart program.

Thanks ReMark, that's a great idea. I'll use DText.
