Creating a Residence Layout, Seating plan, Toilet and Utility room plan using AutoCad

 Aim : To Sketch the plans given in the diagram by using AutoCAD.

 Introduction :-

 Layers in AutoCAD :-

• Layers are the primary method for organizing the objects in a drawing by function or purpose.
• Layers can reduce the visual complexity of a drawing and improve display performance by hiding information that you don’t need to see at any moment of time.

 Aim : To Sketch the layout of a residence plan as per given diagram using AutoCAD. 

 Procedure :-

• First set the unit by typing command "UN" in command box and press enter.
