Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad
AIM:
To create a Floor Plan, Footing Detail, and Isometric view of Steps and Gable Wall in Autocad.
INTRODUCTION:
Autocad is a drafting software that is used to draft drawings in the present case we are using AutoCAD to create various drawings using different tools in AutoCAD like Line, polyline, rectangle, fillet, chamfer, etc and along with that isometric drawing using specific commands and tools.
PROCEDURE:
Setting The Drawing Sheet:
- Go to Application Menu and select New
- In the 'Create New Drawing' dialog box, select the 'Imperial system in the 'Start from Scratch' option.
- Next select the 'Decimal unit system from the 'Advanced Setup' option.
- Set the limits by entering LIMITS in the Command tab. The lower-left corner is specified as 0,0, and the upper-right corner is specified as 100,100.
[Note: The above procedure is followed each time a new drawing is to be created.]
