Steps for Creating Plan Drawing 1

Step 1: Open bor100.dgn and save to your folder. What are the working units? Measure the size of the border. What scale do you need to plot the border at to plot on an 11" by 17" piece of paper?

Step 2: Open tvbase.dgn. What are the working units?

Step 3: Create a new drawing called PL1ini.dgn in c:\temp and change the working units to match that found in step 1 and 2.

Step 4: Attach the border (bor100) as a reference file

Step 5: Attach the base map (tvbase) as a reference file

Step 6: Make sure snap, locate, and display are toggled on for both reference files

Step 7: Rotate the base mapping -135 degrees

Step 8: Move the border to line up with the beginning of the base map

Step 9: Use a fence (green lines on border) and clip the base map so that it fits within the border.

Step 10: Plot the drawing (pdf with 11x17 paper size)

As part of your homework, create a drawing called PL2ini.dgn and create a drawing that covers the base map in a different location than PL1ini.dgn.
