5. Raft Layout

Aim : To draw raft layout

Procedure:

Open Auto Cad and set imperial units and change the units as architectural so that the dimensions are in fractions of feet and inches.

Drawing grid lines:

Draw an vertical line with construction line Command "XL-V ".

Offset the vertical line by offset command with offset distance 5'9" ,2'0" ,7'0", 4'0",4'6" , 5'-71/2".

Draw an horizontal line with constrcution line Command "XL-H".

Offset the horizontal lines by offset command with offset distance 5'-71/2" ,3'-71/2" ,4'9" ,5'-101/2",5'-71/2",3'9",5'9", 13'10-1/2",10'41/2".

Change the line type of these lines as ISO dash by clicking on line type and selecting load from the dialogue box and make ISo dash current linetype.

Text and dimensioning:

Text are done by multiline text with height 10" .

Dimensions is done by dimension tool in toolbar and measure all the distances between the grid lines and other required distances.

Creating layers:

Layers are created by clicking on layer properties and layer manger dialogue box apperas.

Layers are created for gridline,columns ,dimensions,walls ,mats.

RESULT: The raft layout is drawn.
