DRAWIG 10-47 BRASS ANCHOR PLATE

BRASS ANCHOR PLATE

This is my Brass Anchor Plate Drawing which was one of my first in AutoCAD.

To make this I first had to create a B-sized layout.  I then had to actually draw out the Anchor Plate in AutoCAD.  I then used the MTEXT command to add the number and letter pairs to the drawing.  After that I scaled it correctly in the view-port.  I then re-sized the view-port while making sure that the part stayed the correct size.  After I re-sized the view-port I inserted the table, picked my 0,0 point, and started dimensioning the part inside the table; for reference i dimensioned the entire length and width of the part.  For the parts that had the same dimensions and were right next to each other in the table I combined the cells and entered the number only once.  After I finished the Table I edited the information on the part and checked what it would loo like when it printed.  After I was satisfied that it was correct I printed the drawing out.
