Landscape designers can improve productivity by building a template drawing with commonly used tools. Here we create a template for a designer based in Florida. We populate modelspace with plant symbols, set those to entries in a plant database file to create plant schedules, and add several drawing sheets complete with a title block containing the company logo. Finally, gCADPlus is configured such that each new drawing uses that template.
This movie focuses on helping landscape designers use gCADPlus to improve their drafting efficiency. We create a template for a team of designers based in Western Australia. The template includes a collection of symbols commonly used in everyday drafting. The template drawing was saved to a directory outside the regular gCADPlus folder, and the path to templates was altered to reflect that change. We also altered the path to the MySymbols folder, creating a space for storing any new symbols made by the team. New designs could be created with a minimum of fuss.
