Creation of Multiple viewports, Scaling the drawing, and setting in Template in AutoCad
1. 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 the ATTEDIT command to edit the information in the title block. Use A1 size for the layout. Take a plot.
AIM:
To create the layout of the plan and section A of the project in challenge 7 using the template Tutorial -mArch.dwt
INTRODUCTION:
A layout template is a layout imported from a DWG or DWT file. The program has sample layout templates to use when we design a new layout environment.
When you create a layout based on a template, the page setup and paper space objects, including any viewport objects, are used in the new layout. No model space objects are imported.
The layout templates are identified with a .dwt file extension. However, a layout template or layout from any drawing or drawing template can be imported into the current drawing.

INTRODUCTION:
A layout template is a layout imported from a DWG or DWT file. The program has sample layout templates to use when we design a new layout environment.
The kitchen layout is the shape that is made by the arrangement of the countertop, major appliances, and storage areas. The layout and floor plan create the kitchen's primary work triangle, which is the path that you make when moving from the refrigerator to the sink, to the range when preparing a meal

AIM:
To create the layout of the section created in challenge 9 using appropriate scaling and multiple viewports
INTRODUCTION:
A section view provides architects and contractors another way of understanding how construction will stand up, as it reveals details of the construction of walls and the thickness and height of beams and other supports. While a floor plan allows for a view of how the walls stand about each other, a section shows where the wall meets the floor and the distance that separates one floor from another.
Finally, sections provide a better understanding of how a building’s spaces will accommodate its future occupants and whether, for example, the ceiling will feel like it looms or soars overhead
