Project: Plat Map ~ Help please

[ReMark]

Another option is to reset your crosshairs using SNAPANG then create your text.

Ok.... So I got that al situated..... Now Im havin another issue..... When I list a line like the furthest most West Boundry, it gives me S2d E but it's not the east side.... Did I set something up wrong? My Plat looks just like the ones posted. Hmmmmmmm And one more question.... Where do I find a deg symbol.... I really appreciate all the help.

[ericjwied]

Scratch that first question.... I figured it out. I think it's because I redrew the line from the South to the north.... I just need to fig out where to get the deg symbol. Thanks

[ericjwied]

Btw, Does it matter if I drew the line the opposite direction? Not sure if that part of the grade.

[ReMark]

Are you using DTEXT or MTEXT? If DTEXT type the bearing as S%%d and you'll get the degree symbol. In MTEXT you can do the same thing or right-click and choose Symbol.

Thanks alot.......... Last thing I think I need to bug ya all about is this text size thing. My drawing is 1:1 and my text styles were created annotative. Im just not sure what size it should be. Any suggestions?

[ReMark]

There was no direction about what text height to use in the PDF?

[ericjwied]

Oh..... Duh... I created the height when I created each text...... Sorry..... I am so Used to SDRC/IDEAS... Takes me a sec sometimes...

[ericjwied]

Im sure this will turn out to be a really simple answer but Im gettin a head ache lookin. How do I create the Text "LEGEND" as an underlined text?

[ericjwied]

Also, Im having issues filling this benchmark in right.... How do you fill an area with a radius?

[ReMark]

There is an underline option in MTEXT.

 

Filling the benchmark? You mean HATCH?

[ericjwied]

Ok..... Thanks for all the help. Though I had no real understanding of this type of drafting, I learned alot. It's alot of fun too. Im going to submit it and I will post how I did. Thanks again so much!!!!!!

[ReMark]

You're going to submit it? Now? What changes did you make?

[ericjwied]

As far as what? I went over it and reviewed all my coord. line types layers and all. Im pretty confident that I will score a high mark on it.

Im sure this will turn out to be a really simple answer but Im gettin a head ache lookin. How do I create the Text "LEGEND" as an underlined text?

 

Use "Mtext" ot typt T on the command line and press enter. Select U for underline in the Mtext edit dialog box, then type the word Legend. Select the ok button to close the editor.

:DSo I just had my Grade posted..... Very happy to report, Thanks to all your help, I recieved 100 on my Drawing. Though I needed minimal help I could not have done it without you all. Thanks so much to everyone. Eric

[ReMark]

You received a "100" on your drawing? Well that certainly is good news now isn't it?

 

Makes me wonder. I think Penn Foster students are getting ripped off but I'll save that discussion for another thread.

 

Congrats.

[Car5858]

Congrats, now the the easy one is out of the way: the rest will get more difficult. Make shure you apply all the corrections before you start.

All of the projects have mistakes in them.

 

Oh, and I agree with ReMark.
