In Residential Layout maps how to enter multiple plot nos. like 1,2,3,4etc is there any shortcut key or other easy way to enter plot nos.

2. How to calculate the total area of plots.,Instead of selecting four corner points is there any other easy method??pls help me 

3.For 10Acres of Residential layout plan..In which size paper(A3,A0,A1)scale 1:1 will be seen

4. For more than 10Acres of Residential layout plan (ie.,20Acres,50 Acres)..In which size paper(A3,A0,A1) scale 1:1 will be seen

please reply your mails to desaipraveenmech@gmail.com

3. I need a clarity when i take a print out of scale 1:1 from layout plan..the scale has to match when i measure with steel scale..but i am getting 0.3 to 0.5 mm difference..pls suggest me

 

1) Create a block with a single attribute for a lot/plot #.  Then repeatedly insert the block and add the number.  It won't catch errors but it will allow you to tabulate them later if you need (BCOUNT, if you're on the full vers of AutoCAD);

 

2) Use the BOUNDARY command to quickly create polylines of each lot.  Then use Properties to grab the areas.

 

3)  This is a tricky one, you sly guy, you.  It does depend a bit on how much your title block border eats up, but let's think a second.  What is the area of a lot if the sides are 660'x660'?  What is the area of a lot that has sides of 1600'x272.25'?  See where I'm going with this?  One size won't fit all.  Shape is important.  So we can't answer this for you... you're going to have to test your shape on each of those Layout sizes and see for yourself.  I can tell you that 1:50 is about the largest look you'll get on AO for the 1600x272.25 lot.  The 660x660, probably 1:30.  The others I didn't test.  That's your job.

 

(Hint:  Put your lot or plot in a layout view and zoom extents.  Then exit, click the viewport boundary, and take note of the oddball scale.  Compute the Inverse of it:  1/scale.  The closest standard scale will be your best option.)

 

4)  If you can work out things for #3 you can solve this one.
