Tiger Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 i'm stumped that does not relaly help mate. Where's the first problem? Quote
f6096548 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 i knew the piles were wrong from the beginning...i couldn't figure out the size and that was one of my original question. i only continued on as i thought i couldn't be too far out...i sized them at 205 Quote
ReMark Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Re: pile sizes. A comparison of the size of the pile to a known dimension would put you well within the ballpark right? At this point it's probably the best you can do. Quote
Tiger Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I must say I haven't really worried about the size of the pillars - I just made sure that their center was placed correctly. Quote
f6096548 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 thats what i figured ReMark. after viewing whats been done so far and the original drawing, if i add in the markings of the bars and the lines from the markings do you reckon i could scrape a pass. I know you don't know the ins and outs of the marking for this but viewing the original and then what i've attempted..would you think its a fair representation of the original drawing including layers?

eldon Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I must say that it looks like a drawing exercise and not a real-life situation. Why is there need for ten piles to support a 200mm wide wall? Where is the load coming from that needs ten piles? If it is a drawing exercise, then make it look as nearly as you can to the hand drawing. Quote
f6096548 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 ye its just a drawing exercise...its purely to reproduce a hand drawing in autocad...with no previous experience of these kinds of drawings or autocad My lecturers are placing quite a lot of confidence in us. Mastering Autocad in less then a week? There's a rumour we're also set to replace the eggheads on BBC 2 after a weeks practise at some pub quizzes Quote
eldon Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Best of luck to you, and I bet your drawing will be the best, with all the help from this forum Quote
f6096548 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 last question i promise...how do insert really small text? Quote
eldon Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 This where the advantages of DTEXT come into play. You actually see the text appearing on the screen as you type. Start DTEXT, then it asks for the start point, and then it asks for the height. Put in, say, 1. Then type a bit. Then zoom out and see how it appears and play about with your size of text. Quote
