In-Depth Information
TIP Items such as tables and notes can go either in model space, as
shown in this exercise, or in paper space. When they are in paper space, it's
easy to develop and maintain a consistent text or table style that appears
the same in all drawings. When notes and tables are in model space, you
have the flexibility to change their sizes simply by zooming in or out in the
viewport. Model space objects can also be shown in any number of layouts
in the same drawing. You'll develop your own standard, or adhere to your
company's standard, for note and table placement.
6. Keeping its current name, save A-100.dwg and open A-200.dwg .
7. Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the A-200.dwg file. Instead of using the PAN
command to bring the floor plan into view, bring the north elevation
into view.
The north elevation currently faces opposite the World UCS. You'll
fix the elevation's view in a later exercise.
Copying the Layouts
The layout that you made is an excellent starting point. You will add a few items
from the DesignCenter, adjust the title block information, and then duplicate the
layouts several times to accommodate the different views of your cabin. Each time
a layout is copied, all of its contents, including the viewports and their settings, are
copied with it. These copies are not interdependent, and any changes made to one
are not reflected in the others.
NOTE You can delete all the paper space layouts, but you can't delete
model space.
Adding Content from the DesignCenter
Before you copy the layouts, you'll add a block from the DesignCenter and edit its
attributes.
1. Use Sheet Set Manager to open the A-101 layout in the A-100.dwg file.
AutoCAD LT users should open the drawing using standard AutoCAD
commands, and then switch to the A-101 layout.
2. Use the Layers drop-down list on the Home tab to make A-ANNO-
TTLB-TEXT current.
