AutoCAD Template File Creation

-

New drawings start from either a default drawing template file or a custom drawing template file that you create. Drawing template files store default settings, styles, and additional data.

When AutoCAD starts, the Start tab is displayed by default. Here, you can quickly start a new drawing file based on the current drawing template file, or you can specify a different template file from the Templates list to start a new drawing.

A drawing template file is a drawing file that has been saved with a .dwt file extension, and it specifies the styles, settings, and layouts in a drawing, including title blocks. The default drawing template files are provided as samples.

CAD managers often create, maintain, and distribute drawing template files to maintain consistent standards and styles across an organization. Among the settings specified are

  • Units of measure and measurement style (UNITS)
  • Drafting settings (DSETTINGS)
  • Layers and layer properties (LAYER)
  • Linetype scale (LTSCALE)
  • Dimension styles (DIMSTYLE)
  • Text styles (STYLE)
  • Layouts with layout viewports and scales (LAYOUT)
  • Plot and publishing settings (PAGESETUP)

When you save these settings as a drawing template file, you can start creating designs without having to first specify any settings.

Spool Drawing creation in Revit

Yes, Spool Drawing can be created by Revit   There was a time when you need to use Autodesk Fabrication Software for creating spool drawing. That time is over. Now if you have a Revit model & you want to create Spool Drawing from that model them it is also easily possible. For creating spool drawing from Revit Software you need to follow the following steps:  Creating Item No tags for Pipe & Pipe Fitting & Accessories : In spool drawing we need to numbering every items & providing a Bill of Material of the items in a spool sheet. Into the bill of material we need to provide the details information of every item with their item no.     We can't add anything into the schedule until it is a share parameter so we need to create a share parameter for Piece No. After that we need to create a Pipe tag & an Pipe Fitting tag for showing the no value in spool value. For creating Pipe & Pipe Fitting tag we use the share parameter as ...

Adjusting Project North, True North, and Plan Orientation in Revit

-
 How can I make West be Up in my drawings? OR North is Up in my drawings but it’s not  “really” North. What’s the difference between Project North and True North? OR How do I  get my project located to match my survey?   Each Revit project file has its own internal coordinate system which by default is only known  to the project. If your project is a stand-alone, you may be able to live with this internal  system. By default, North is toward the top of the project and truly faces north.  When you first start a project, you should specify the project location using either Internet  Mapping, the nearest major city, or latitude and longitude so that you can generate location- specific shadows if necessary. Note that you can add new cities to the list by editing the file  SiteAndWheatherStationName.txt. (If you don’t have actual survey data, Google the latitude  and longitude for the city you want to add.)  If you’ve started modeling yo...

Source:  https://www.saint-gobain.com/ What is BIM ?     B uilding Information Modeling (BIM) is a 3D model based process which gives Architecture, Engineering Construction professional an insight tool to more efficiently Design, Plan & Manage their Construction Project.In one word we can say Building Information Modeling is process of generating Digital Data for a construction work. Although if I say that BIM is only a 3D model based process then I'm not fully correct. BIM has another three dimension, Time(4D), Cost(5), As Built Operation(6D). Source:  https://planetearth5.com/    Why you should use BIM?  I n modern world population is going to increase rapidly. This rapidly increasing population is now turn into a challenge for AEC  professionals. Now they would have to create more buildings more infrastructures,hospitals,industries and other public facilities with more capacity than previous with  a short of t...
