Hey all,

 

I just started using AutoCAD 2009 today and have begun self-teaching. I'm doing the Getting Started Guide and am "Creating Spaces to Calculate Floor Plan."

 

You use the linework in a 2D floor plan sketch (created in AutoCAD) to quickly generate 2D spaces complete with tags that report each room area. After you create the spaces, you place a room schedule that automatically reads the area information from the space tags, and reports it in the schedule table.

 

I'm tagging the spaces, (ex. Office-Large, Reception, Corridor) but in the guide there are two spaces that I can't find (Copy Room and Refreshments) in the list or under "More space tools." Is that a hint to create my own space description? Do those spaces come with AutoCAD 2009? I thought that they would be defaulted there in the list so I wouldn't have to go crazy looking for them (it is a tutorial after all...) I tried to alter the name properties of a space and it didn't take.

 

Whew, thanks, it's such a simple question... :oops:

okay, I found it in the drop down list for 'properties' but not in the scrolling list Tool Palettes-Design.

Okay sooo... I'm directed to the "Room Area Schedule" tool on the tool palette. But there's no tool button there, and when I try to make a schedule tag it says there's no property information on the spaces I tagged. (But I checked and there is in extended data, at least I think so.) What am I doing wrong? :S
