Hi Guys,I am a new buy in autocad. Can anyone help me on how to put the survey plot plan on my model space so I can put my floor on top of the survey plot plan? So do i need to scale the plot plan if I bring it in model space?Thanks

INSERT or XREF will do that.  If you are working in feet and inches, your drawing unit is an inch, and if the survey is done using a drawing unit of a foot as Surveyors and Civil Engineers commonly do, you'll need to Scale it up 12x in your drawing, so that their drawing unit turns into 12 of your drawing units.

Everything you draw in model space should be to real world dimensions.  Since model space is virtually unlimited no plot plan will be too big to be accommodated.  So, for example, if your lot is 100 feet wide and 250 feet deep then that's what you draw the plot plan up as.  Do NOT draw-to-scale as one might do if they were creating the plot plan manually on a drafting board at a given scale, for example, of 1"=40'.  Do you understand?Where in the United States are you located?BTW...floor plans are not shown on plot plans.  A plot plan is supposed to show features like a house, garage, shed, swimming pool, trees, fence, driveway, etc. relative to the boundary of a property.  Plot plans are considered civil drawings.  Floor plans on the other hand are architectural drawings showing the physical layout of a house including walls, stairs, room layouts, closets, utility rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, dining spaces, etc.  Do you get the distinction between the two types of drawings?

Thanks

Thank you. And how about those General Notes that we put on the cover sheet that they put? where do you get that? is that typical?Thanks

While you may have call outs you typically do not see general notes on a plot plan.  You will however see the property owner's name and address, the date the drawing was done and the scale.  You'll also have to reference the setback lines and the building zone the property is located in.  Finally, all features (ex. - fences, driveways, garage, etc.) will have to be labeled.  Some localities may not accept a plot plan drawn by the home owner and instead require one drawn and certified by a licensed land surveyor.  It depends on what the plot plan is being used for (ex. - showing location of a new two car garage).An architectural floor plan doesn't normally have general notes as most features are labeled.  Depending on how thorough you want to be you might include both a window and door schedule if it was new construction or a renovation.  Once again the owner's name and address, the date, scale, and the initials of the person who drew the floor plan should appear on the drawing.  General notes usually appear on foundation plans, roof plans, electrical layouts, plumbing layouts and building cross-sections. Visit you local library and find a book about architectural drafting and design.  There will be plenty of examples to follow in the book.

Thanks, Because I saw on the sheet cover A-0.0  they are General Notes , Project Summary/ Sheet index / Project Team/ Etc.where to get that General Notes text? and how we I know that is the correct notes?

I don't know what sheet cover you are referring to.  Generally speaking sheet covers are rarely required for anything that isn't a commercial (business), municipal, state or federal project.The engineer (civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, etc.) or architect is responsible for coming up with the general notes where applicable to their field of expertise.Who are you doing the drawings for?  Personal use?  A client?  The company you work?

Attached are the sample of General notes uploads/760641/034-DOR-A10-WEHO_SET-03-15-18-compressed-compressed.pdf

That looks more like new construction.  Is that what you are doing?  Or is this a renovation?  Perhaps an addition?We need to know the scope of the project.  You need to be more forthcoming about your "project".Where is the property located?  Is it in the United States or in Europe somewhere?  Different standards apply in different countries.

Its here in US its an addition.Thanks

That makes no sense.  What U.S. municipality would accept a plot plan and/or floor plan done in metric units?
BTW...the dimensions on the survey drawing you attached to your other post (i.e. - plot plan) are in decimal feet and inches.  So, for example, the distance shown as 12.7' (twelve point seven feet) is equivalent to 12 feet 9 inches.
