Considerations for drawing complex drawings in AutoCAD

I believe that the use of AutoCAD in the work of drawing drawings is not only in accordance with the book when the study to draw a few line segments or painting square draw circle so simple, a complex drawings often need to spend a few hours or even more than a few days of work to complete, I believe that no one is iron, There's no going to be a nap when something goes wrong. The author here on the complex drawing should pay attention to some of the problems of simple explanation.

A good habit of saving often

It is believed that many "experienced" have had the tragic lesson of losing hard work drawings for power outages or other reasons. Perhaps many of the newly-learned CAD graphics friends in the study also often because it is the practice of drawing and did not save the habit of it? It is recommended that such a friend set up a folder called "CAD practice" on his hard disk and save the drawings that were drawn during the practice. In peacetime drawing time also try to often use "ctrl+s" key combination to save your own drawings, develop a good habit of saving drawings so that you will not be "annoyed" with your computer after your computer has lost your work for a few hours in the future.

Second, the technique of filing

Do you have a trick to save a disk? Of course there is! is a person will inevitably have errors, and sometimes because of the wrong operation made a mistake to delete the command and save the drawings can not be undone how to do? It is recommended that you use the Save method "Save as" when making complex drawings, such as saving the drawings that are being made as new documents every half hour, and of course, Preferably with the original file in the same folder, such as "a Project diagram" in the save time can be saved every half hour as "a project Figure 001", "an engineering figure 002", "an engineering figure 003" ... By analogy, this way, if there is an "engineering figure 008" that is being drawn, we can turn back to "some engineering figure 007" to continue our drawing work and to minimize the loss of the drawings. Of course, after the drawing work is completed and the drawing is finished, we can remove the redundant drawings and save our hard disk space by keeping the final completion plan.

Third, make use of the production of CAD itself block and array function

The block and array function provided by CAD itself can improve our working efficiency very well. In the company's similar products in different models or even the same type of products will often appear the same model parts, if you can accumulate in peacetime work, the common parts to make blocks (don't forget the uniqueness of the block name OH), The use of block inserts in complex drawings will undoubtedly greatly reduce our duplication of work. Array function The same reason is needless to say, learning drawing friends to master this function as long as a few simple exercises can be easily done.

Iv. using layer Tools

To avoid the wrong operation in cartography there is also a trick to use the Layer tool, layer tools mainly have layer switch function, freeze thaw function, lock unlock function of the layer and so on, in the process of drawing the use of these functions can be convenient to view the details of different layers of drawings, to avoid the partial drawings of the wrong deletion, misoperation and so on.

V. Do a personal statement

What I am saying here is not a text note added after the drawing is completed, it is a personal statement that allows the cartographic staff to avoid forgetting during the drawing process, such as "modification of a problem somewhere" and so on, while some of the large drawings that take hours to complete are interrupted in the middle, Cartographic personnel can also create a new layer of their own, with eye-catching color with the circle and text tools to mark the unfinished position, so that the next time the graphics open the file can be found in the first, easy to continue to work.

Six, the attention rests maintains the energetic energy

I have to say that CAD graphics is actually a very energy-intensive job, and it's hard to imagine a cartographic worker doing his job well when he picks up the mouse or sees the monitor and is sleepy. Therefore, before taking on such a mapping work must ensure that their own rest, and in the large-scale drawing process to do intermittent rest, to ensure that the mind sober. According to some efficiency expert's suggestion, the normal person can guarantee the energy concentration time is only 15-20 minutes, therefore the friend may according to individual's situation every half hour about activity, rests a few minutes, also is Maito!
