CAD ApplicationsAssignment #14SCALINGObjective:The student will construct a complete orthographic drawing of an assigned problem with Architectural style dimensions using the CAD system.Assignment: Copy the files FIG14-1.DWG, FIG14-2.DWG, 14-3.DWG to your working disk. These files contain the structural details drawn full size (scale 1 = 1). Open each drawing file in AutoCAD and complete each detail adding object lines, hidden lines, center lines, dimensions, titles and notations. Do not insert the border andtitle block. The student will set the drawing parameters, layers, colors, linetypes, and dimnsioning styles as needed. Use the same layer set-up for all drawings. Assign a line weight of 0.02 for object lines, a line weight of 0.012 for hidden lines, and a line weight of 0.010 (default) to all other lines. Create a layer for the dimensions with a color of the student's own selection. Be sure toinclude this layer on the CAD Drawing Document Sheet. Dimensioning will be in accordance with the rules and techniques as described in the textbooks Engineering Graphics and Detailing For Steel Construction (AISC).  Create a dimension style for each of the details. Add dimensions to the drawing. Space the first dimension line 1/2" from the object and 1/2" for all successive dimensions. Use GRIPS to reposition dimension text if necessary to avoid stacking. Set the Linear Dimension command to either BASELINE or CONTINUE as needed. Use the DDEDIT command to edit dimension text to manually change or add text to a dimension. Use the PROPERTIES dialog box when you want to change content, text style, location, orientation, size, justification, and other properties. Save each detail drawing as it is completed. The drawing will be constructed full size using a scale of 1 = 1. This will necessitate the scaling of the TEXT heights, LINETYPES, and the DIM parameters for each detail. Record all values in the spaces provided.Part Plan:¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for general 3/32" high letters)¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for detail title ¼”)¨ LTSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1/8" = 1' -0")¨ DIMSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1/8" = 1' -0")¨ Spacing distance for first dimension: _______________¨ Insertion Scale factor: _______________CAD ApplicationsAssignment #14Connection Detail:¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for general 3/32" high letters)¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for detail title ¼”)¨ LTSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1 ½”" = 1' -0")¨ DIMSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1 ½”" = 1' -0")¨ Spacing distance for first dimension: _______________¨ Insertion Scale factor: _______________Shop Drawing BEAM 2B1:¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for general 3/32" high letters)¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for detail title ¼”)¨ LTSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1" = 1' -0")¨ DIMSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1" = 1' -0")¨ Spacing distance for first dimension: _______________¨ Insertion Scale factor: _______________General Notes:¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for general 3/32" high letters)¨ TEXT HEIGHT: _______________ (for detail title ¼”)¨ LTSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1" = 1")¨ DIMSCALE: _______________ (for a finished scale of 1" = 1")¨ Insertion Scale factor: _______________¨ Do not use AutoCAD's default dimensioning style. Select the Dimension Style option in the “Annotate” tab and create a dimension style for each of the details. When the Dimension Style Manager dialog box appears select the NEW button to create a new dimension style. Set the parameters as follows:In the Lines Tab: Set the Baseline Spacing for 0.50 Set the Extend Beyond Dim Lines value to 3/32 Set the Offset from origin value to 0.0625In the Symbols and Arrows Tab: (Choose an arrowhead style) Set the Arrow Size to 3/32 Set the center marks to NoneIn the Text Tab: Set the Text height value to 3/32 Set Vertical to "Above." Set the Horizontal to "centered." Set the text alignment to "Aligned with dimension line"In the Fit Tab: Set the fit to "either the text or the arrows, whichever fits best"  Set to “Beside the Dimension Line” Set the “Use overall scale of” (as required by the drawing) Set “draw dim line between ext lines”2CAD ApplicationsAssignment #14In the Primary Units Tab: Set the Unit Format to Architectural Set the Precision to 1/16 Set the fraction format to “Not Stacked” In the “Zero Suppression” section check the “0 feet” box In the “Zero Suppression” section remove the check the “0 inches” box¨ The finished drawing will consist of four parts: the Connection Detail; the Part Plan; the Notes section; and the shop drawing of BEAM 2B1. Each part will be drawn separately to full size. To obtain the finished drawing each part will be inserted into a standard size"B" sheet of drawing paper. ¨ Plot the drawing with different line weights by assigning a line weight to a layer. Assign a line weight of 0.02 for object lines, a line weight of 0.012 for hidden lines, and a line weight of 0.010 (default) to all other lines.¨ The finished drawing will be on size "B" drawing paper. Begin a new drawing. Set the limits for size "B" paper and insert the standard border and title block in the usual manner. Insert each finished drawing into the new drawing using the scale factor for the required finished scale.¨ Plot the drawing on size “A” drawing paper. Use a plot scale “Scaled to Fit.”¨ Plot the drawing on size “B” drawing paper. Set the plot scale to 1 = 1. Each detail in the plotted drawing should scale out exactly as noted.Special Instructions:Structural drawings use the architectural style dimensioning. All dimension lines will be continuous lines with the dimension text placed above the dimension line. Dimension figures are given as feet and inches (15' - 4"). The dimension figure will be shown as 15' - 0" when there are no inches in the dimension. A dimension less than one foot will simply be shown as inches (5" not 0' -5") Set the Zero Suppression as needed. This setting is found in the Primary Units Tab in the Dimension Style Manager.Center lines are drawn as continuous lines omitting the dash usually associated with traditional centerlines. A
