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

1. AIM :

1. To create layout of plan and section, creating view parts, editing attributes and taking a plot
2. To create a kitchen layout in A4 sheet and take a plot
3. To create multi viewports for industrial section drawing, scaling it and taking a plot

COMMANDS USED:

• VIEW : TO create different views in model space SO that it becomes easy to zoom that particular view command 'VIEW' click on model views click on new from the dialogue box‘ click on define window and select the particular part of the drawing — click on apply, then that view will be saved We can take it from the view dialogue box itself under model views.
• LAYOUT : This command is layout tab, to create a particular template. Command ‘LAYOUT’ click on template (or right click on the layout tab) and we can select the required template form the dialogue box (m-Arch for metric architecture).
• We can rename, copy, delete, create new from this command, all these options are also available when we right click the layout tab.
• Multiple view : Used to create multiple viewport. Command ‘MV’ – specify corner of viewport and create viewport
• If we have already created a shape for the viewport – we can make it a viewport by clicking object displayed when ‘MV; command is given and selecting that particular object.
• MODEL SPACE : Command ‘MS’ - to activate the model space
• PAPER SPACE : Command ‘PS’ - to activate the paper space
• SCALE : By activating the model space, we can give scale for the drawing in that model space by clicking scale menu on bottom toolbar. ( we can also do it by right clicking properties)
• LOCK : We can lock the viewport so that further scaling is not done during zooming the viewport lock symbol is provided on the bottom toolbar. (or right click – properties)
• PAGE SET UP MANAGER : By right click on the layout tab, we cand find the option of page set up manager or command ‘PAGESETUP’- from that we can set the size of paper to the layot/
• PAN : Command ‘P’ to pan the drawing
• PLOT : Command ‘PLOT’ – used to take print outs. Plot dialogue box appears.

• Name of the plot is given
• Name of the printer should be given, here dwg to pdf is given to convert it into pdf file

• Paper size is given, we can select the paper size according to our need. E.g. ANSI (A4) A-8.5 x 11, ANSI B-11x 17”

• What to plot : we have options of -
  Display – whatever in the screen will be plotted
  Layout – The created layout will be plotted
  Extends – The drawing inside the set limits will be plotted
  Window – we have to select the part to be plotted by window selection

• Scale can be given according, if fit to papers given, the drawing will be set such that it is inside the entire paper.

• Plot style table (pen assignments) – how the colour of line, transparency of line of the print is determined
  Monochrome – all the lines will be in black colour
  Grey scale – some lines is in grey colour and hatched portion in Black & White
  None – The same colour as in drawing ie, if layers are given as such is displayed
  Screening – it lightens the colour of line

• Drawing orientation – It can be given as portrait or landscape
  Preview – to preview the drawing before printing

PROCEDURE :

1. Aim :

1. To create layout of plan and section using Template mArch dwt.
2. To create viewport using ‘MV’ command of size 400 x 445 and 375x445 and setting the scale (1:50)
3. Editing Attributes in the template
4. Take a plot using A1 size

Procedure:

1. Open the drawing click on the layout tab right click it and create a new layout.
2. Rename the layout tab as plan and section
3. Delete the current viewport displayed in the layout.

1. To create the template:

4. Use command ‘LAYOUT’ select template (.dwt) – select ‘mArch’. From the dialogue box, select ISO A1 layout
5. Type ‘MS’ for the activation of model space.

b. To create viewport:

6. Draw a rectangle of size 400 x 445 and 375x445

7. Use the command ‘MV’ multiple view – select object option and click on the rectangle, then the drawing
will be displayed in the viewport

8. Similarly do it for the second rectangle

9. Command ‘MS’ for model space and click on the viewport we need to set the drawing.

10. Click on the first viewport and zoom in the drawing for the plan and give a scale of 1:50 and lock the
viewport so that further zooming will not change the scale.

11. Similarly do it in second viewport zoom in the section view, making it a scale of 1:50 and lock.

12. Mark the dimension in the paper space by ‘dimlinear’ command

c. Editing Attributes in the template

13. Go to paper space by command ‘PS’ and click on the template which is a clock

14. Click on the attributes and edit the attributes – double click the attribute text or command ‘ATTEDIT’,
the attribute dialogue box appear as

15. Give the value as NAME, DATE, SCALE etc.

16. Enter the text by multiline text in paper space and with text height 20.

d. Taking plot using A1 sheet

17. Use command ‘PLOT’, the dialogue box appears.

18. Give the name as ‘DWG to PDF’.

19. Select the paper size as ISO A1 (841 x 594mm)

20. Select what to plot as layout.

21. Scale is given as 1:1, orientation is given as landscape.

22. Select the pen assignment as ‘Monochrome’ so that the print will be in black.

RESULT :

1. Layout is created using template mArch.dwt
2. Viewport is created using ‘MV command of size 400 x 445 and 375 x 445mm and the scale of viewport is set to 1:50.
3. Attributes in the template are edited
4. A plot is taken using A1 size.
