AIM: - To create a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad

PROCEDURE: -

Before we start the drawings we need to set up the drawing as Metric Template and the units into Decimal Units.

Following are the steps in order to set up the drawing as Imperial Template and the units into Decimal Units.

Go to Application Menu or click CTRL + N (New)
Click on New from the Application Menu
A popup menu appears, click on the first tab known as Start from Scratch > Select Metric
Now click on the third tab known as Use a Wizard > Go to Advance setup > A Dialog box appears > Select the unit of measurement as Decimal > Press Next > select Angle as Decimal Degrees > Press Next > Select Angle Measure > Press Next > Select Angle Direction > Press Next > Select Area > Click Finish
Set the page limit by entering Limits in the command tab. The lower left corner is specified as 0,0 and the upper right corner is specified as 297, 210.
Now we are all set to go.
