Lynda - AutoCAD 2014 Essentials: 06 Sharing Drawings with Others

Join author Jeff Bartels as he shows how to transition your AutoCAD designs

from concepts to workable construction documents. First, discover how to

create hard copies of your drawings that are printed to a measurable scale.

Then learn to assign annotations to a plot scale, so text, dimensions,

and callouts are properly sized. Next, you'll explore how to share

drawings with others?even between different CAD programs. Jeff also

takes a close look at the DWF format, which enables clients to view

and mark up drawings without CAD software. The final chapter offers

designers a chance to use what they've learned to complete a small

challenge project.

Topics include:

Creating quick plots  

Choosing line weights  

Creating, organizing, and reusing labels  

Using the Annotative property to size text and multileaders  

Creating custom scales  

Saving drawings to other formats  

Plotting to PDF and DWF  

Sending drawings via email or eTransmit
