Sheet Sets |
Plotting is one of the most important
aspects of AutoCAD, and for many users, it is also one
of the most misunderstood. This course is designed as
a one-day survey of plotting and related features in
AutoCAD 2006. It would be an appropriate class for users
upgrading from earlier versions of AutoCAD who need to
master new techniques related to plotting, such as page
setups, the PUBLISH command, and sheet sets. It would
also be appropriate for any users who need a better understanding
of plotting concepts and techniques in AutoCAD. Sheet sets, a new feature in AutoCAD
2006, relate to plotting in several ways. They can
automate the creation of layouts for plotted sheets,
help coordinate sheets in a multi-drawing project,
and let you easily print all the sheets together. topics include:
:
- Setting up a layout
- Advanced viewports and annotation
- Plotting Features
- DWF plotting and viewing
- Plot styles

Enhanced Features and Benefits
Overview of new features Fields, Tables, Sheet Set Manager, Dynamic Input, Dynamic
Blocks and much, much more! Then, come back for classes outlined below that offer
a more-detailed look at real-world applications of each feature.
Fields
and Tables
The Field command simplifies the task of creating, placing, and editing text
w/ changes automatically updated within a drawing. The Table command
allows AutoCAD users to create forms w/ columns, rows and
headers.
Sheet Sets and
Sheet Set Manager – Part
1
The Sheet Set Manager creates links to drawings
called “sheets”, similar to xrefs. Sheets can be
organized and easily updated adding or removing sheets from
a set, and adjusting page numbers and sheet index information
effortlessly
Sheet Sets
and Sheet Set Manager – Part
2
Using Sheet Views, Fields, and Named Views, users
will be able to automatically place and update reference
tags, callouts, and labels throughout an entire sheet set.
Changes to drawing files are automatically reflected in all
views, insuring that your sheet sets are always up-to-date.
Sharing and Archiving
Through the use
of the Sheet Set Manager,
plotting a complete set of drawings is done without the effort
of tracking down where the individual files reside. You can
easily share Sheet Sets by creating one electronic transmittal
package, allowing the easy plotting of an entire set of drawings
while you continue working. In addition, maintaining archive
project documents can now be done automatically, allowing
you to easily revisit project milestones.
Enhanced Tool Palettes
Tool Palettes are
more versatile than Toolbars, you can create / copy tool
groups, blocks, macros, LISP and all the properties associated
with the tool (layer, color, etc) are retained When you
use tools from this palette it brings its properties with
it. If the layer doesn’t
exist it creates it!
Layer Manager
New Layer Manager features allow you to define groups of layers for easily
management With Layer Filters you can quickly adjust layer settings and
change layer properties for many layers at a time.
Dynamic Input
Now with the ‘Heads Up Display’ you can break
the habit of looking at the command line. The command prompts and input info
are attached to the cursor. So you don’t have to take your eye off your
work.
Dynamic Blocks
By attaching parameters and actions to grips
in dynamic blocks you increase the flexibility of a single
block. Now instead of needing different blocks for different
size doors or windows you have the ability to stretch, flip,
align, rotate and /or list options to choose from, all contained
within the same block definition. |
