Approval drawing

Note: If attaching a planar group via ShipConstructor fails, then use AutoCad Xref » Attach

Rules

• Use correct layout template
• Current layer: Defpoints
• Color for layer Defpoints: magenta
• In modelspace show the layout on the correct scale, layer Defpoints
• Layout names ‘Sheet 1’, ‘Sheet 2’, etc.
• Fill up title block at least with:
  • Date
  • Scale
  • Format
  • Sheet number and total
• Viewports
  • Scale (in order of preference):
    • 1:20
    • 1:25
    • 1:40
  • Scale for details:
    • 1:2
    • 1:5
  • Layer is VP (layersetting NO PLOT for VP)
  • Lock display of viewports

• Titleblock KP:
  • Hull nr: -
  • Project nr: KP project code
  • Drawn: JK
  • Drawing nr: B08 for expansions

• Text
  • Layer 0
  • Textstyle KP
  • Colour ‘by layer’
  • Textheight: (lay out)
    • Title 7.5 CAPITALS
    • Subtitle 5 No capitals
  • Text 2.5

Guidelines

• Arrange planar groups in the following order:
  • 1. Frames
  • 2. Longitudinals
  • 3. Decks
  • 4. Curved plate
• Small projects: arrange planar groups vertically conform their position in reality; place the keel on the bottom of the drawing, place roofs on top of the drawing
• Arrange small parts (brackets, etc.) near the adjacent part

Check

• Presence of all planar groups
• Correct layer use
• Undesired layers
