1.11 Exercises

1. Set up a nautical drawing

   1.1    

   Create a new drawing with the following parameters:

   1.1.1	You'll use engineering units on your drawing;
   1.1.2	Assume a 1"=25' scale;
   1.1.3	You'll plot on a D- size (24x36) sheet of paper;
   1.1.4	You'll want angles measured clockwise with 0 °North;

   1.2    

   Save the project as Nautical.dwg in the C:\Steps\Lesson01 folder.

Using the Quick Setup , create a few templates to use later in this course.

2. Create a template with these parameters:

   2.1.1	Use architectural units;
   2.1.2	Use a 1=1 scale (this requires no setup; it is the default);
   2.1.3	Set up for a sheet size of 8 ½ x11;
   2.1.4	Save this project as MyBase1.dwt in the C:\Steps\Lesson01 folder.

3. Create a new template with the following parameters:

   3.1.1	Use architectural units;
   3.1.2	Use a 1=1 scale;
   3.1.3	Set up for a sheet size of 11x17;
   3.1.4	Save the project as MyBase2.dwt in the C:\Steps\Lesson01 folder.

4. Create a third template with the following parameters:

   4.1.1	Use architectural units;
   4.1.2	Use a 1=1 scale;
   4.1.3	Set up for a sheet size of 17 x 22;
   4.1.4	Save the project as MyBase3.dwt in the C:\Steps\Lesson01 folder.

5. Create templates for the followings scales and sheet sizes. Save the templates in the C:\Steps\Lesson01 folder.

   Settings	Units	Scale	Sheet Size	Saveas
   English	Architectural	¼"=1'	34x22	D 1_4 Arch
   English	Architectural	3/8"=1'	17x11	B 3_8 Arch
   English	Decimal	¼"=1'	22x17	C 1_4 Dec
   English	Decimal	3/8"=1'	17x11	B 3_8 Dec
   Metric	Decimal	1=1	841x594	Met a1
   Metric	Decimal	1=1	594x420	Met a2

   You'll use some of these templates and expand on them in later lessons.
