Also, notice how the appearance of the UCS icon has changed. When you switch to one layout (paper space), a white rectangle appears seen as a paper sheet on a gray background. In the lower left of the screen, on the command line three tabs should appear: one corresponding to “Model” and two others for “layouts”.
Go to the “display” tab, at the “Layout elements group” check that the option “Display Layout and Model tabs” is activated.Īctivate “Auxiliary” as working layer. The key advantage of using PAPER space for presentations and impressions is that enables different scale outputs from the same drawing. The main difference is that in MODEL space you can draw using any kind of units, in PAPER space you can only draw using millimeters. Both areas are very nearly identical (we can draw in both spaces). However, Autocad has another space, called “paper”, were we will make any presentation or LAYOUT to be printed either on paper or in digital format. So far we have always been drawing by Autocad using the space called “MODEL” (usually black). Overlap the six layers on the same drawing. And as a recommendation use at least six different layers and name them as followed: Auxiliary, Frame, Grid 1, Grid 2, Grid 3 and Figure. You should have used a measure of 70 drawing units for the side of the frame square. Celeste Ediciones S.A., Madrid, 2001.”īefore getting started complete the assignment 01_CAD_Bauhaus_Assignment_11-07-2011 “Parallel Verbunden. Drawing for the course of Paul Klee, Bauhaus, Weimar, 1924” in order to follow this tutorial properly. Tutoriales de informática para arquitectura: AutoCAD, 3D Studio, Corel Draw, Word, Excel y Presto. This instrumental practice continues the methodology started by Fernando G. The development of this exercise has been designed by María Fullaondo Buigas de Dalmau. Sungkyunkwan University- Universidad Europea de Madrid Profs: María Fullaondo and Ciro Márquez. With all the setting properly config, you are now able to plot to scale.Architectural Design Studio 4. Checking The Plotterįinally, your EPS plotter should be ready for use, double check that the file is created by selecting the tab “File” then go to “Plot”, from the pull down list of printer selecet the EPS plot file. The Finish page gives you the option of editing the plotter configuration or calibrating the plotter. Next would be the naming of the file, you can leave it default or key in the preference name. Select the “Plot to File” option, this is to enable AutoCAD to plot to your computer instead sending your EPS plot to your printer plot. Ignore this dialog due to the fact that it is the configuration for a physical printer.Proceed by clicking the “next” button. The next dialog box to appear would be the “Import Pcp or Pc2″. Select the appropriate model and then click the “next” button. The main difference would be the file size produce using Level 2 which is smaller and the support for Adobe Photoshop version 6 and above, where else Level 1 is for version 6 and below. If you are not sure how the files will be used, select Level 1. Select “Adobe” from the Manufacturers list, there should only be 3 options to select at the under the “model” list. The following window is the Plotter Model dialog box. Select the “My Computer” option and click the “next” button. This window will asks you to determine the type of plotter you want to add. You will see the “Add Plotter” tab, click on it.Īfter clicking on it, a dialog box will appear, which tells you a little about the wizard. Select Tools > Wizards > Add Plotter… from the pull-down menu. To add a EPS plotter to AutoCAD you have to use the Add Plotter wizard.
#AUTOCAD PRINTING TO DEFAULT PRINTER SOFTWARE#
AutoCAD does not automatically create the PostScript plotter for you when the software is installed by default, it require minor configuration, a simple wizard that will guide you thru steps by steps. To create EPS files, all you need to do is to add a virtual plotter that uses the EPS format and then configure it to plot to a file rather than to a physical plotter.
This requires few setup configurations to the PostScript plotter on your computer. The best method is none other than to create a Virtual Plotter, with a virtual plotter you can plot to a virtual PostScript files from AutoCAD and import the EPS files into Photoshop. One of the most common questions asked by architecture students during their early years when they are composing their boards is “How to plot AutoCAD drawings to scale into Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator?” This tutorial would be great for beginners.
