In this installment of AutoCAD Essentials, author Jeff Bartels shows how
to transition designs from concept to construction. Discover how to create
hard copies of your drawings that are printed to a measurable scale, tie
annotations to a plot scale, so text, dimensions, and callouts are properly
sized, and share drawings between different CAD programs. Jeff also takes a
close look at the DWF format, which enables clients to mark up drawings
without CAD software. The final chapter includes a drawing challenge,
where designers have an opportunity to use what they've learned to complete
a small project.


Topics include:

Creating quick plots
Choosing line weights
Organizing layouts
Sizing text, dimensions, and multileaders using the Annotative property
Changing a drawing's plot scale
Creating custom scales
