Scope Item 3 will be numbered as 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, etc… Scope Item 2 will be numbered as 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, etc. Scope Item 1 will be numbered as 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, etc… Key Plans will be Numbered as KP.1, KP.2, KP.3, etc… One of the benefits of this system is that it allows us to easily insert a page within the drawing packet without needing to renumber the project.Ĭover Pages will be Numbered as CP.1, CP.2, CP.3, etc… Here at Superior Shop Drawings, we do our pages by scope. Surprisingly, this is not a basic function in AutoCAD. Next, you simply type in the number of pages you need. Depending on how many pages you’re creating it will require the undo command for each page created.
And I also like to make sure I’m making copies of the correct page. The page will be pre-filled in the command. I find it easiest to be on the page I’m duplicating for two reasons. But if I need any more than that then I use the LISP file.Īfter launching the command, it will ask you to specify the page to duplicate. I do use the control/drag method for one to two duplicates. This LISP file makes both of these seem very slow. The other method is to hold control while left-clicking and dragging the tab to the left or right. The slowest method is to right-click on the layout tab and select it through the menu. There are 2 basic methods for duplicating the layout pages without the lisp file. This LISP file does exactly what it says….it duplicates the layout pages. Going through the process without them feels very tedious. These last 2 LISP files are used together. Where you just need to get the perimeter of the items. This command is very useful for items such as complex reception desks. Highlighting where the millwork will be provided. On medium to large projects, we here at Superior Shop Drawings provide a key plan to our client. Instead of creating geometry from interior parts, it does the same thing, but for the outside. It sort of works like the boundary command in reverse. This LISP is great for creating an outline of multiple objects. It’s too much to type “OutlineObjectsV1-1” and could never remember the “V1-1” on the end.
This is another one that I shortened the command name. Simply run the command and choose to Lock or Unlock. This will take care of every viewport in the file. You zoomed in on a page, only to discover that you’re now messing up the scale because the viewport hadn’t been locked. I’m sure you’ve received a cad file from someone at some point. I’m aware of the frustration when trying to read the fine print while working on a project. Having worked on the shop floor of a millwork shop for several years. I like to take the opportunity to draw as close to 1-1/2” scale where ever possible. But then the page looked very empty at the scale that I started with. Maybe I started out thinking I would need more space for the dimensions and leaders. I now use this command all of the time, but now it’s mostly for adjusting scales. Often times I think this is created by toggling on the button “Add scales to annotative objects with the annotation scale changes” without realizing what a mess it makes of the drawing. We like our drawings here at Superior Shop Drawings to be clean without excess “junk” or unused scales in them. It was for the purpose of removing excess scales from a drawing that someone else had worked on. When I first went looking to Google to see if a command like this was already out there. This works for dimensions as well as blocks as I’ll demonstrate in the video below.
This LISP file is for removing and or changing the annotative objects. I did rename this one to “ANO”, I don’t like having to type in more than necessary to launch commands. So let’s get to it, here are my top 5 LISP files that I can no longer work without.
AUTOCAD LISP FREE
His website has free custom programs and tutorials for the AutoCAD community.
AUTOCAD LISP MAC
Lee Mac has one of the largest collections I’ve come across when it comes to LIPS files. If you are not familiar with LISP files, check out Lee Mac’s page for instructions on it. My initial thought was “how many hours have I wasted before using these? I wish someone had shown them to me sooner.”
AUTOCAD LISP CODE
It was like someone gave me a cheat code to Autocad. I can remember when I first stumbled on to LISP files. Not having just one of them would greatly impact the speed at which I’m able to produce drawings. While there are a lot of LISP files for AutoCAD to talk about, there are 5 that I use keeping productivity in mind.
