Introduction to AutoCAD 2012Alf Yarwood

Chapter 16 Exercise 11. Open AutoCAD 2012 with a double-click on its shortcut icon in the Windows desktop.2. Open the template acadiso.dwt.3. Construct the required building symbol drawings to a scale of 1:50.4. Save each symbol as a block within the drawing.5. Save the drawing to the file name blocks for all exercises.dwg and close the drawing.6. Open another acadiso.dwt template.7. Left-click the DesignCenter icon in the View/Palettes panel and select from its Folder List the drawing

blocks for all exercises.dwg.8. Left-click the cross to the left of the drawing name and left-click again on Blocks. The building symbols

appear in the right-hand side of the DesignCenter palette.

9. Working to the scale 1:50, construct an outline of the required building plan using the Polyline tool set to aWidth of 1. Make the outer walls from plines 5 units apart and the partitions from plines at 2 units apart.

10. Drag the necessary symbols from the DesignCenter into the drawing.11. Because the symbols dragged into the drawing area are blocks they may need to be exploded (Explode

tool from the Home/Modify panel) and some trimming and stretching may be necessary in order to clearunnecessary details or to change the scale of some symbols - e.g. windows.

12. When completed save your drawing to a memory stick with the file name 16_Exercise01.dwg.13. Close the drawing window.
