ABSTRACT

This chapter shows that AutoCAD 2020 is a suitable computer aided design software package for the construction of building drawing. There are a number of different types of drawings related to the construction of any form of building. The chapter shows a fairly typical example of a set of building drawings. When constructing floor layout drawings, it is advisable to build up a library of block drawings of symbols representing features such as doors, windows, etc. These can then be inserted into layouts from the DesignCenter. To attach the materials, all layers except the layer on which the objects to which the attachment of a particular material is being made are turned off, allowing the material in question to be attached only to the elements to which each material is to be attached.
