Pay particular attention to the Attributes when creating blocks. Generally layer “0” should only be used when creating blocks and should be the only layer in a drawing for a block. More importantly in the context of blocks, it is equivalent to “no layer”, similar in the way that color “By Block” is equal to “no specified color” or line type “By Block” is equal to “no specified line type”. It is the default layer for new drawings. Var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) else if(fieldReqd & fieldVal.Layer “0” has a special significance.

When working in paper space, use a scale of 1-to-1. The text and dimension styles need to be set based on that estimate (it can be changed later).

Xxx_Arch_MD - measurements in inches with 1 unit equal to 1 inch Xxx_Eng_MD - measurements in feet and inches with 1 unit equal to 1 foot Xxx_Dec_MD - measurements in decimal feet with 1 unit equal to 1 foot The unit specifies what units will be used and how the dimensions will look. The numbers/scale factor from the text style and dimension style should be the same. The dimension styles take on a similar form to the text style and that form is “ xxx_Unit_MD”. Xxx_Subtitle - 3/16' text height for subtitles Xxx_Notes_Dim - 1/8' text height for notes and dimensions There are three default text sizes when scaled properly and they are as follows: This does not mean you should set the scale of the drawing to this scale, but the scale of the viewport when setting up your drawings in paper space. The last numbers in the name specify what scale the text will be the proper size. The text styles take on the form “ xxx_Notes_Dim”. The text styles and dimension styles in the template are setup to work in conjunction with one another and have similar nomenclature.
