Creation of Multiple viewports, Scaling the drawing and setting in Template in AutoCad

AIM:- To Create a layout of the Plan and Section A of the project in Challenges 7, using the template Tutorial-mArch.dwt in a scale as given in the Figure. Use the MV command to create the viewport of the size as shown in Figure. Also, use ATTEDIT command to edit the information in the title block. Use A1 size for the layout. Take a plot.

INTRODUCTION:-

To draw layout of the Plan and Section A of the project in Challenges 7, using the template Tutorial-mArch.dwt in a scale as given in the Figure, I have used several autocad commands like- MVIEW, ATTEDIT, XREF, etc., and I set dimension (Decimal) and select milimeter in Autocad. Moreover, I set limits with command "Limits", specify the left corner points ans right corner points and then enter zoom all("z-a") in this drawing. Also, I used dimesion command for measuing the dimensions in Autocad along with text command to write drawing name. Apart from that, I have assumed several data for drawing this sketch.

PROCEDURE:-

Open Autocad and type a command "Unit" and press enter, then set unit as Decimal and set angle in degree- base angle is east -mark angle direction as anticlockwise. Type a command "DIMSTYLE" and press enter, then click to modify and go to primary unit tab and set it Decimal and set the precision to 0.0 and cick ok.

DRAWING PROCEDURE FOR A LAYOUT OF THE PLAN AND SECTION-A OF THE PROJECT IN CHALLENGE 7:-

The floor plan given is of an apartment building with same plan for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd floors. Each floor consists of four houses, three two-bedroom flats and one single bedroom flat each with kitchen and living room. Each flat has only one common bathroom. Stairs connect all the floors. Stair dimensions are taken from stair section view. The top two flats are given as flat C and flat D respectively. The section views AA and BB are drawn using projection lines from plan drawing. Dimensions and text is placed accordingly. The dimensions of doors and windows are assumed as follows

Open AutoCAD

Step 3: Creating Viewports

Draw rectangle from the top of layout of dimensions 400X445

Draw another rectangle adjacent to the rectangle from the top right corner with dimensions 375X445

Go to Paper space or ps

• Type mv in command box and click on Named in command box
• Type the Name as "Floor Plan" to viewport as first rectangle drawn
• then right click on the bottom corner of rectangle
• Change the scale to 1:50/2% and pan the figure to adjust.

Go to paper space or ps

• Type the Name as "Section AA" to viewport as first rectangle drawn
• then right click on the bottom corner of rectangle
• Change the scale to 1:50/2% and pan the figure to adjust.

Step 4: Adding Details to Template

For changing the data of the attribute goto BATTMAN or double to enter the value

The values are changed as follows

And dimensions of the view ports and text regarding scale as 1:50

Step 6: Plotting

Type plot and press enter or select plot from the menu bar

• Set name as Week_10_Layout
• Change printer to AutoCAD PDF
• Set paper size as ISO A1
• Change plot area to ‘Layout’
• Change plot style table to ‘monochrome.ctb’
• Check the preview for adjustments
• Click ok to plot
• Select the path and set name

Result:

The result of this challenge consists of layout created from standard AutoCAD template ‘Tutorial-mArch’. Two viewports of dimensions 400X445 and 374X445 respectively are created for showing the floor plan and elevation section view of the plan. Viewport layer colors are changed according for better view of the plan and section view. Plotting is done using ISOA1 paper size and monochrome.ctb as plot style table. Both Plot result and Layout result are added below

• All the dimensions mentioned are in meters
• Dimensions and text are assigned using dimension layer and text layers

11. By pan command fit the drawing inside the viewport.

12. By text command write the text as SCALE1:100 with a text height of 50 and lock the viewport.

13. Go to model view , and create views for the next two viewports.

14. Command "VIEW" -view manager dialogue box appears -create new-give name as mahole view -select define window and select the view we need to create,press enter

15. Similarly create view for sprinkelr named as sprinkler view .

16. Now go to the layout industrial section and command "ms " and click on the left model space.

17. Now use command "view" -seelct the manhole view- and click on set current.

18. Then the view will be displayed on the model space

19. Select the scale to 1:30 from the bottom toolbar

20. By multiline text give the text as SCALE 1:30 with a text height of 150.

21. Lock the viewport from the bottom toolbar lock symbol.

22. Type "MS" and click on the third viewport .

24. Select the scale to 1:30 from the bottom toolbar

25. By multiline text insert the text as SCALE1: 30 with a text height of 150.

26.Lock the viewport .

c. Take a plot of the viewport

27. Enter the command "PLOT".

28. The dilaogue box appears, select paper size as A3, what to plot as layout

29. Give pen assignments as monochrome.

30. Click on preview option to see the preview and apply to layout.

31. Click ok to save as pdf.

Result:-

a. Layout of the section of industrial building is created

b.Viewport is created by MV command and scale 1:30 and 1:100 is given.

c. Plot of the layout is taken.
