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

CREATION OF MULTIPLE VIEWPORTS, SCALING THE DRAWING AND SETTING IN TEMPLATE IN AUTOCAD.

Introduction

There are two types of viewports in AutoCAD: Model space viewport and layout space viewport.

Viewports are areas that display different views of your drawing or model.

• Layout viewports are objects tt you can scale to display the view of your drawing on a layout tab for ublishing and production.
• Model viewports split the drawng space into one or more rectangular areas called model space viewports.

In large or complex drwings, displaying dfferent views reduces the time needed to zoom or pan in a single view. this viewport can be configured from the view tab on the ribbon.

There are different model space viewports configurations like single, two: vertical, two:horizontal etc. These configurations can be saved and restored by name with the VPORTS command or pulling down the viewport configuration from the ribbon.

When using multiple viewports, the one that is highlighted with a blue rectangle is called the current viewport, the remaining viewports will be displayed grey as for not used.

1.

Aim:

To create the layout of the plan and section A of the challenge 7, using the template Tutorial-mArch.dwt. Use the Mv command to create the viewport. Use ATTTEDIT to edit the information in the title block. Use A11 for the layout aand take a plot.

Procedure:

• To create the viewport, initially take the 7th week challenge that is already created, and from that keep the plan and section A.

• Now, in the command prompt type V to create the model view of the plan and section.
• Then provide the view name and choose the boundary option.

• Now, click ok then apply and again ok.
• Hence, the model view is created.

• Now, in the command prompt type layout then choose template. From that choose Tutorial-mArch and insert it.

• Hence a new layout is created.

• Now, type page setup in the command prompt and page setup manager dialogue box opens.
• Then modify the settings.

• Now, click ok and then close the page setup manager dialogue box.
• Now, use the command MV to create multiple viewports and create the viewports as given in the question.
• Then type ms in command prompt to zoom in and out the views in the viewport and PS command to return back to paper space where zooming in and out is not possible.
• Now, we have to plot the drawing, for that again go to page setup and provide the name of the plotter as DWG to PDF.pc3.

2.

Aim:

To create the layout of the kitchen drawn in challenge 9 and use A4 size page for the layout and take a plot.

Procedure:

• To create the viewport, initially take the 9th week challenge that is already created.

• Now, in the command prompt type V to create the model view of the plan.

• Then provide the view name and choose the boundary option.

• Now, click ok then apply and again ok.
• Hence, the model view is created.
• Now, go to layout option in the window.
• Now, type page setup in the command prompt and page setup manager dialogue box opens.

• Then modify the settings- provide the size of the paper(A4), then provide the plot area as layout and then cick ok.

• Now, type MV to create multiple viewports and create viewports as necessary.
• Then provide the views as given in the question.
• Then type ms in command prompt to zoom in and out the views in the viewport and PS command to return back to paper space where zooming in and out is not possible.

3.

Aim:

To create the layout of the section created in challenge 9 and to take the plot.

Procedure:

• To create the viewport, initially take the 9th week challenge that is already created and in that take the industrial section.

• Now, in the command prompt type V to create the model view of the section.
• Then provide the view name and choose the boundary option.

• Now, click ok then apply and again ok.
• Hence, the model view is created.
• Now, go to layout option and select new and type the name of the layout as Section
• Now, type page setup in the command prompt and page setup manager dialogue box opens.

• Now, type MV to create multiple viewports and create viewports as necessary.
• Then provide the views as given in the question.
• Then type ms in command prompt to zoom in and out the views in the viewport and PS command to return back to paper space where zooming in and out is not possible.

Result:

Different multiple viewports that is created is given below:

1. The layout of the plan and section A of the project in challenge 7 is as below:

2. The layout of the kitchen drawn in challenge 9 is as given below:

3. The layout of the section created in challenge 9 i.e, industrial section is given below:
