After creating the Layout in a plain template, I wanted to learn how to make my own layout and the only issue I was having was that the associate who was supposed to be teaching me handed me a pre-done template that wasn't quite to my specifications.
The reasoning behind me doing this unit was so I could learn how to do this to make me more employable in the future. I have been contacting another associate who works as a Spatial Designer; Nikki Wright and she has guided me via email on the correct wizards to use to create my layout.
I switched AutoCAD to "Classic Veiw" and went to "Insert - Layout - Create Layout Wizard".
I selected the basic architectural layout, but ended up deleting most things on there and insterting my own text, boxes and inserting the AUCB logo.
At the moment I have not been able to get a coloured Vector of the logo so the one I have used is a CYMK .jpeg file. I can only use this on the A3 page as any bigger it will distort.
When I have transferred all the drawings for the groundplans (not including elevations) I will email it to my associate, Nikki Wright, at Advanced Interiors for checking.
Teaching and guiding myself through the programme has helped me learn a lot more effectively than if someone else did it for me, which was the problem I was having previously. Hopefully my new contact will be able to gently guide me rather than do it for me!
