Introduction to AutoCAD 2009 2D and 3D Design- P3 88 Introduction to AutoCad 2009 Another template CHAPTER 4 A template A3_template.dwt – Fig. 4.24 In the Select Template dialog a click on any of the file names causes a preview of the template to appear in the Preview box of the dialog, unless the template is free of information – as is acadiso.dwt. To construct another template which includes a title block and other information based on the acadiso.dwt template, proceed as follows: 1. In an acadiso.dwt template construct the required border, title block. 2. Click the Layout1 button (Fig. 4.23). The screen changes to a Paper Space setting. Fig. 4.23 The Model or Paper space button 3. Zoom to Extents. 4. It is suggested this template be saved as a Paper Space template with the name A3_template.dwt. Fig. 4.24 The A3_template.dwt Note 1. The outline for this template is a pline from 0,290 to 420,290 to 420,0 to 0,0 to 290,0 and of width 0.5. 2. The upper line of the title block is a pline from 0,20 to 420,20. 3. Paper Space is two-dimensional. 4. Further uses for Layouts and Pspace are given in Chapter 15.Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. Zoom, Pan and templates 89 The AutoCAD Classic workspace CHAPTER 4 It should be noted that any of the drawings described throughout Part 1: 2D Design of this book could equally well have been constructed in the AutoCAD Classic workspace as in the 2D Drafting & Annotation workspace. Tools could, as well, be selected in the toolbars: Draw – docked left, Modify – docked right and Standard – docked top, as can be seen in Fig. 4.25. Fig. 4.25 The AutoCAD Classic workspace REVISION NOTES 1. The Zoom tools are important in that they allow even the smallest parts of drawings to be examined and, if necessary, amended or modified. 2. The Zoom tools can be called with a click on the Zoom icon in the Home/Utilities panel, clicking the Zoom button in the status bar, from the Zoom toolbar, from the sub-menu of the View drop-down menu, or by entering z or zoom at the command line. The easiest is to enter z at the command line followed by a right-click. 3. There are five methods of calling tools for use: selecting a tool icon in a panel from a group of panels shown as tabs in the Ribbon; selecting a tool from a toolbar; entering the name of a tool in full at the command line; entering an abbreviation for a tool; selecting a tool from a drop-down menu. 4. When constructing large drawings, the Pan tool and the Aerial View window are of value for allowing work to be carried out in any part of a drawing, while showing the whole drawing in the Aerial View window. 5. An A3 sheet of paper is 420mm by 297mm. If a drawing constructed in the template acadiso.dwt described in this book, is printed/plotted full size (scale 1:1), each unit in the drawing will be 1 mm in the print/plot. 6. When limits are set it is essential to call Zoom followed by a (All) to ensure that the limits of the drawing area are as set. 7. If the right-click menu app ...
