17-6 Instructions (no image for the exercise):

Text book exercise, follow the problem in the book

Caution:

There are some typos and mistakes in the book so follow this procedure:

1. Do not use the "Wizard" setup, use your template drawing.
2. Go to your pull down menu and choose "Format" then select "Drawing Limits".  Watch the command line and set the lower left to the default of 0',0' and the uppper left to 120', 90'. 
3. Go to your pull down menu and choose "Format" then select "Units".  Set your units to "Architectural" with a precision of 1/2".
4. If you choose to use the "grid" and "snap" settings set those to 2' by right clicking on either the snap or grid on the status bar below your drawing.
5. Your first point (lower left) of your property should start at 10',10' not 10,10 (inches) as the book suggests. 
6. Figure 17-1 shows a dimension from the property line on the x axis in the upper right corner of 21', it should read 20'.
7. Follow the book examples from this point forward. 
8. Once you are done check to see if west corner of your house is 5' 2-1/2 inches from the property line.  This is an indicator to see if you scaled, stretched and rotated your house properly.  If it is not you should probably back up or better yet start over.  At this point it would be easier to restart it than to try and fix it.
9. Print out on 11 x 17 inch paper (tabloid).  You will have to create this "layout" in paper space.

Text book exercise, follow the problem in the book, create a layout for centimeters.

• Decimal units, 
• Precision: 2 places after the decimal

19-4  Instructions (worth 3, 30 points)

Create a title block with the following elements:

• A simple but readable logo created in AutoCAD (use your artisitc flair)
• Two diffrent text styles
• Three different text sizes
• Two different line thicknesses as shown, use a polyline
• Must contain at least the following text elements:
• Organization name 
• Sheet title
• Designer's name (your name)
• Date
• Scale
• Units
• Make the border around your drawing the same thickness and color as the border around your title block.
• You can make your title block aligned along the bottom, right side or in the right lower corner as we have done so far.

Create the drawing as shown.

1. Hatch the inside of the center support using the ANSI 36 pattern, scaled and rotated as shown.
2. Units in centimeters.

20-10 (worth 2 drawings, 20 points)

• Print on a 11 x 17 inch sheet (Tabloid)

20-14 (Extra Credit)

Follow book example

• Start with a 2 x 12 inch piece of lumber which is really 11.25" wide and can be bought in lengths of 8 feet or more in 2 foot unit increments.
• The floor to floor height of your stairs is 10'.
• Your customer requests a riser height of 8"
• How many risers will there be?
• Include a note on your drawing that describes the length of the 2 x 12s that you will need to buy, plus the number of treads and risers.
• Create a detail frame and show all the detail dimensions that you deem appropriate.
• On the larger view show the cut length of the 2x12, horizontal length and height of the stairs.
• Print on 11 x 17 (tabloid) paper
• Extra Credit:
• Buy a house, buy some lumber at Knudson's and build this or just add some extra details such as fillets, railings or some landings on your drawing.
