10 Steps Standard Process Developing All AutoCAD Drawings And Layouts
1. Build the AutoCAD template file with the default standard settings
1.1. Preparation on Model space
- Units: mm
- Layer
- Annotative-attached Text Style
- Annotative-attached Dimension Style
- Annotative-attached Mleader Style
- Table Style
- Standard Attribute Title Block, Attribute Block, Static Block, Dynamic Block, Combined Block
- Annotative-attached Attribute Block
- Hatch samples
- Print Style
1.2. Preparation on Layout Space
-
Set up the sample layout
1.3. Turn it into the default template file
2. Test and determine the scale drawing on Layout space
3. Implementing the first drawing on the Model space with 1:1 scale drawing and with the tested scale drawing on Layout space
- Check 6 system variables
- Use standard line (layers)
- Use standard sample hatch
-Use Blocks (without Annotative and Annotative attached) to insert into the drawing
- Use Text Styles with Annotative-attached
- Only use 1 Dimension Style with Annotative attached to the whole drawing
- Use types of notes with Annotative attached
4. Build all the remaining drawings lists in the model with 1:1 scale drawing
5.
Working with the first sample layout drawing
- Set the Viewport layer as the current layer
- Create the Viewport frame
- Set the aspect ratio for the Viewport frame of the sample Layout to be equal to the Dimension-text ratio of the first drawing
6. Print test the Sample Layout
7. Copy Layout
Duplicate one sample layout pattern into many different layout tabs
8. Working with all layout drawings
- Rename Layout
- Put the drawing you want to display on the Viewport frame
- Set up the scale of the viewport
- Align the position and lock the Viewport frame
9. Set up Sheet Set Manage
- Create a new Sheet Set
- Rearrange the structure of the Sheet Set
- Import Layout drawings into the corresponding Subset
- Rename and Renumber
10. Print a series of layout drawings with the Sheet set
- Publish to Plotter
- Publish using Page Setup Override
