Project Information
Geographic Area: City of Markham
Title: Neamsby Investments Inc.
South 14th Avenue Green Road
(There is useful information like this in the civil source files)
What to do
a. Set up the template with the appropriate information (includes keymap).
b. Set up the detail sheets.
- Light details (all 9 sheets)
- MST 15C
- MST 19A
- MST 19B
- OPSD 2200.01
- All 4 R.O.W. cross-sections
Note: Import these using the IM command in AutoCAD. Make sure that No path
is selected when importing PDFs rather than Relative path.
c. Bring the civil base into our drawing file, clean it up and create a civil layer.
d. Create viewports.
The command for creating viewports is MV. You can zoom in and out of the
viewport while it is unlocked. When it is locked, you cannot adjust the scale. To
adjust the scale to 1:250, for example, you would double click inside the viewport
youve created and type: z 4xp. Its 4xp because 1000/4 is 250 therefore
typing z 1xp would be 1:1000, z 2xp would be 1:500 and so on
You can also adjust the UCS of the viewport with the UCS command. Make sure the
north arrow in the template is adjusted accordingly.
UCS n 3 (select origin, +x, +y) plan
e. Lay design out on paper.
f. Draft design in AutoCAD.
