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

To create a layout of the Plan and Section A using the specified template and commands in AutoCAD, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open the Template:

   • Launch AutoCAD and open the Tutorial-mArch.dwt template file.

2. Set Up the Layout:

   • Switch to the Layout tab at the bottom (typically named "Layout1").
   • Set the page size to A1 (841 mm x 594 mm).

3. Creating Viewports:

   • Use the MV command (Make Viewport):
     • Specify the size of the viewport as shown in your reference figure.
     • Click to define the first corner and then the opposite corner to create the viewport.
     • Adjust the viewport size to match the specified scale in the figure (e.g., 1:100).

4. Zooming to the Plan and Section:

   • Double-click inside the viewport to activate it.
   • Use the Z command (Zoom) and choose Scale to set the correct scale (e.g., 1:100).
   • Pan or zoom in to ensure that the plan and Section A fit well within the viewport.

5. Adding the Title Block Information:

   • Use the ATTEDIT command to edit attributes in the title block:
     • Select the title block.
     • Change relevant fields such as project name, date, and scale according to your project details.
     • Make sure to fill in all necessary information.

6. Finalizing the Layout:

   • Ensure all elements are properly aligned and spaced within the layout.
   • Add any necessary notes or annotations around the plan and section views if required.

7. Plotting the Layout:

   • Use the PLOT command:
     • Select your printer/plotter settings.
     • Choose A1 as the paper size.
     • Set the plot scale (if needed).
     • Click OK to plot the layout.
