In previous AutoCAD Tutorial : Drawing a Section Part 1, it is shown how to create a section from a floor plan, which is done by drawing the guiding lines using Construction Line command. In this AutoCAD Tutorial : Drawing a Section Part 2, the steps to create the notations, dimensions and hatches of the section will be shown, so that the drawing will become a drawing ready for construction.
The steps for AutoCAD Tutorial : Drawing a Section Part 2 are :
1. Draw the dimension lines using Dimension > Linear command. Combine it with Continue command and do not forget to adjust the Dimension Style (see how to do it on AutoCAD Tutorial : Drawing a Floor Plan (Basic) Part 1.
2. Draw the notation lines using Pline. Pline is used because you can draw multiple united lines using it. In drawing the notation lines, make sure that the lines is uniform and have a thin line-weight so that the do not distract the reading of the drawing (see related AutoCAD Tutorial video).
3. After all of the dimensions and notations are established, hatch the drawing using Hatch command (see related AutoCAD Tutorial video). The hatching is done in the end in order to avoid the difficulties when drawing the dimension lines since the OSNAP oftenly catch the lines of the hatches rather than the main drawing lines.
