Over the years, AutoCAD has recommended several methods of installation drawings. Need to know about these methods, and the need to understand the new tools we recommend for many reasons. If you work with files of old drawings, they may have been established with the help of an old method and may need updating to use the model space and paper space. If your office is upgrading from the earliest version of AutoCAD, it probably will not be with the configuration space or drawings, drawing card at the time. Your CAD / drafting team must decide if you want to start using the new tools, or to teach each new employee as layout drawings as you do now. If you work for another company, chances are they will use to create layout designs printed. To maximize your employability, you need to master new tools. When he was released AutoCAD, Autodesk has asked users to create borders of giant blocks and the way around objects drawn across the real world. For example, you could draw a football stadium, then create a title block of approximately 600 ‘x 384′ around the stadium, bills of more than 8 ‘tall. When you plot the drawing you must specify the relationship between the units and units of the design on the printed page. For example, one can say that 1 “was drawn to 16 ‘feet in the drawing. This graphic design at 1 / 16 “= 1 ‘. In later versions, Autodesk has introduced in the model space and paper space. In effect, each AutoCAD drawing came with two areas of design. You can create objects to scale in model space. Then moves in paper space, which draws the border and title block in size. You could have a football stadium in the model space, l ‘paper space, but it would be a 36 “x24″ piece of paper. Yes “holes” Cut the paper to the geometry of space to show the space around the model. This allows users to draw drawings that show multiple views of their objects to a variety of scales. On the other hand, it could not create more spaces for paper “which shows several layouts in a single drawing file. Many users have also found a large number of orders that were used to layout a drawing embarrassing. In AutoCAD 2000 and later versions, users were allowed to have more “space map” (called Layout) in their drawings. This allows you to draw some articles based on a single drawing file in AutoCAD. Geometry below shows the image created in model space appear in a title block that resides on a layout. It is important to note that some Autodesk now use the layout to display 3D views of your models. For example, a scheme may show a top view and a 3D isometric view, while another might show a level reflecting ceiling. Selecting a layout displays the views linked. Exhibition of drawings in AutoCAD using Model & Space Layout is relatively easy. Draw objects in actual size in model space and views to view objects in paper space. The general procedure for the installation of a design is as follows:

First: Select the Template tab, if not already selected.

Second: Draw your objects in the scale, which means that you draw a line that is 100 meters long in the real world using a radius of 100 meters in AutoCAD.

Third: After designing the geometry of the drawing in model space, select Layout tab, and draw your borders and title block in paper space.

Fourth: Use the VPORTS order to create “holes”, “windows”, paper space which shows the geometry of the design.

Fifth: In the View menu, select 3D views, and specify a view or opinion you want to see. For example, you may want to see a plan or top end of the geometry, or isometric view.

Sixth: To specify the size of a window, right click on its board and choose Properties. Select one of the standard scales, or specify a custom scale if you wish.

Take time to experiment with AutoCAD Model Space & tools layout. You will find these tools are very easy to use when you understand how they were intended to be used.
