About this Course

Learn how to plot (aka print) and publish drawings electronically in AutoCAD. Find out how to scale views, create page setups, assign plot styles, and more.
When it comes to CAD, "plotting" refers to everything around printing and page setup, while "publishing" refers to electronic output. These techniques are intertwined in AutoCAD. The goal of both is to clearly communicate design intent to the contractors, architects, and engineers involved in the project.

Watch this course to learn how to plot and publish your own drawings effectively, using the appropriate tools and settings within AutoCAD 2016.

Expert covers scaling views, customizing page setups for layouts, and assigning plot styles to change the appearance of your drawings when they go to plot or publish. Expert also shows how to adjust individual settings in the Plot and Publish dialogs, so that you end up with smart, readable printouts, DWFs, and PDFs.

 

Topics include:

  • Printing and plotting
  • Scaling drawings
  • Working in model space vs. paper space
  • Creating and modifying page setups with the AutoCAD Page Setup Manager
  • Creating and clipping viewports
  • Adding an annotative scale
  • Plotting and publishing from Quick View
  • Changing plot styles
  • Plotting electronically to DWF, DWFx, and PDF
  • Publishing sheet lists
