Introduction to AutoCAD 2011- P8: The purpose of writing this book is to produce a text suitable for students in Further and/or Higher Education who are required to learn how to use the computer-aided design (CAD) software package AutoCAD 2011. Students taking examinations based on CAD will find the contents of the book of great assistance. | Chapter 11 Sheet sets AIMS OF THIS CHAPTER The aims of this chapter are 1. To introduce sheet sets. 2. To describe the use of the Sheet Set Manager. 3. To give an example of a sheet set based on the design of a two-storey house. 209 210 Introduction to AutoCAD 2011 CHAPTER 11 Sheet sets When anything is to be manufactured or constructed whether it be a building an engineering design an electronics device or any other form of manufactured artefact a variety of documents many in the form of technical drawings will be needed to convey to those responsible for constructing the design and all the information necessary to be able to proceed according to the wishes of the designer. Such sets of drawings may be passed between the people or companies responsible for the construction enabling all those involved to make adjustments or suggest changes to the design. In some cases there may well be a considerable number of drawings required in such sets of drawings. In AutoCAD 2011 all the drawings from which a design is to be manufactured can be gathered together in a sheet set. This chapter shows how a much reduced sheet set of drawings for the construction of a house at 62 Pheasant Drive can be produced. Some other drawings particularly detail drawings would be required in this example but to save page space the sheet set described here consists of only four drawings with a subset of another four drawings. Sheet set for 62 Pheasant Drive 1. Construct a template 62 Pheasant based upon the acadiso. dwt template but including a border and a title block. Save the template in a Layoutl format. An example of the title block from one of the drawings constructed in this template is shown in Fig. . 62 Pheasant Drive Scale 1 50 Date 12 09 07 Drawing No 2 Title Building plan Fig. The title block from Drawing number 2 of the sheet set drawings 2. Construct each of the drawings which will form the sheet set in this drawing template. The whole set of drawings is shown .
