This eGuide is a derivative of a commissioned guide and instruction manual we wrote for a major architectural firm that wanted the most out of plain vanilla AutoCAD ( not add-ons or custom code ). By using Named Style Tables, True Colors, Trace, Plines, Bhatch with Solid and a combination of Blocks and Xref's fairly good color presentation work is achievable in AutoCAD and all of these techniques are carefully outlined and presented in step-by-step format.
- Includes step-by-step screen captures of how to organize an example set of elevations for coloring work, coloring them and preparing them for plotting.
- Topics include Draw Order, Named Plot Styles, Template files, Profiles, Layer and Block Naming conventions and more.
