ReMark Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Just so we are clear. Your geometry is in model space. Where is your text and dimensions? Are they in model space too? And how about your title block and border, where are they? Model space or paper space? If they are in paper space have you created a viewport?

dgolchuk Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Everything is in model space. I have not yet made a viewport. i have checked through my books to make sure i wasnt having a "moment". This is the first time they have stated "use a PLOTTING scale 1" = 1' and a LTSCALE of 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Where did the reference to paper space come in? It sounds to me like you'll be plotting from model space not paper space. Plots done in paper space are usually at 1:1 scale since the viewports are scaled separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgolchuk Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You are correct, they didnt mention anything about paper space (never really do in this course). So that being said i guess it will remain in model space which still leaves me lost lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 When you go to the PLOT dialog box you will select the scale of 1"=1'. I'm going for a motorcycle ride. Upon my return I'll check this thread. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karthik77 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 hi car..am a beginner to CAD...i just have problem in joining lines...how to combine many lines into single line? i used "PEDIT" command and also JOIN command....but i cant combine it. for ex combine the trapezium with rectangle, both of same size as base. i have attached a picture..how to combine it as single thing!!! pls help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This particular thread is about a Penn-Foster student project. PEDIT and JOIN usually work unless you have lines at different "Z" elevations or large gaps where your ends "appear" to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Let's assume all lines are at elevation "0". One option is to run the PEDIT command, type "M" (for Multiple), select all the lines then type "J" for JOIN. When prompted for a "fuzz distance" put in a large number (ex. - like "1") and see what happens. It would go something like this..... Command: PE PEDIT Select polyline or [Multiple]: M Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 4 found Select objects: Enter an option [Close/Open/Join/Width/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: J Join Type = Extend Enter fuzz distance or [Jointype] : 1.0 3 segments added to polyline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geussb Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 this plate at the end, (plate2) asks to figure out the area of the transition patterns youve created. how do you figure out the area? each separate piece or is there a special formula to do it?

ReMark Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Have you tried the AREA command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geussb Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 HAHA no, didnt know it could be something as easy as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praxus Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is there any way I could get a sharper image of plate 1? I realize images have been posted but they lack the quality to really give me and idea whats going on. I would greatly appreciate it! Much obliged.

ReMark Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Those images have sufficed for most people. What are you unclear about exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 How's this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praxus Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Pardon the delayed response! I just was curious about the labeling of the schedules. It clearly defines it in the booklet, but a clear image would work wonder. Thank you so much kind sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The schedules? There's only one isn't there? The supply register schedule. It is merely a table with five columns: Symbol, Size, CFM, Type and Location. Sounds simple enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo8591 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That will be boring to copy plate A from the drawing they send to start the plate 1 project ,that wiil take all the time . That what we are going to do for plate 1 on HVAC ? Is any body has that already in place please Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Are you saying that you do not want to reproduce the base drawing for Plate A to create Plate 1? Are you asking if someone here will just give you a copy of their drawing instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
