AutoCAD 2004. One Step at a Time (Part 1)

  1. Start a new drawing with the following parameters:

    1.1    

    Grid: 1

     

    1.2    

    Snap: ½

     

    1.3    

    Lower left limits: 0,0

     

    1.4    

    Upper right limits: 36,24

     

    1.5    

    Text Heights: 3/8", 3/16", 1/4" & 1/8"

     

    1.6    

    Create the organizational chart in Fig. 4.9.1a ( next page). Feel free to substitute names for those used.

    Fig. 4.9.1: Organizational Chart

    (HINT: Most of my students spend an hour or so drawing a number of rectangles only to discover that the text won't fit, then must redraw them after entering the text. Enter the text first .)

     

    1.7    

    Save the drawing as: MyOrg in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

  2. Create the Isometric Block drawing in Fig. 4.9.2a, complete with text. Use the MyIsoGrid1 template file you created in the C:\Steps\Lesson03 folder. [If that file isn't available, use the IsoGrid1 file in the same folder.] Don't do the dimensions. Save the drawing as MyIsoTxt in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

  3. Create the Border drawing in Fig. 4.9.3b using the following parameters:

    3.1    

    Grid: start with 1

     

    3.2    

    Snap: as needed

     

    3.3    

    Lower left limits: 0,0

     

    3.4    

    Upper right limits: 36,24

     

    3.5    

    Text size : 3/8, ¼, 1/8

     

    3.6    

    Border starts at ½, ½ and is ½" in from the limits on all sides (use the Title Block Detail to help)

     

    3.7    

    Save the drawing as MyBorder in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

  4. Using the MyIsoGrid2 template you created in Lesson 3 (or the IsoGrid2 template in the Lesson 3 folder), create the drawing in Fig. 4.9.4a.

    Figure 4.9.4a: Blocks

    4.1    

    Text should be ¼" and use the Times New Roman font

     

    4.2    

    Use the grid to guide your dimensions

     

    4.3    

    Save the drawing as MyBlocks.dwg in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

  5. Using what you have learned, create the drawings in Figures 4.9.5b through 4.9.5e. Use a 1:1 scale on an 8 ½"x11" sheet of paper for each. I used a ¼" grid when I drew them. Use the title block (fig. 4.9.5a) when creating the border.
