Have you been involved in Work Better with AutoCAD challenges?

August 18, 2014 by Edwin Prakoso 2 Comments

We already have two challenges published in Work Better with AutoCAD series. I know the challenges can be overwhelming. If you are new to AutoCAD, all the information could be overwhelming. Then you decided not to participate.

The truth is many of you may not be able to complete the challenges in such a short time. Just do it in your own pace. If you can’t complete the challenges, just do what you can right now. You can make a plan how you are going to do it. Ask what you don’t understand, things that you feel can help you in the future. Don’t feel like you are left behind. Be active. If you can’t share your experience, ask. Asking questions will also help the others.

There are so much to learn, so many things to do. Start with something simple. At least you can make some improvements in each challenge. If you can’t do it now, make note and try to do it next time.

The Work Better with AutoCAD series is meant to help you improve your workflow, your system to create AutoCAD drawings. We know that we will need to update our standards regularly. So bookmark the pages. If you need to update your standard, you can visit the pages again. If you can do it now, maybe next time you can do more. Maybe all.

Remember, we have some prizes to help you completing this series!

If you have read the challenges, what do you think about them?

TASK 2) Ok I have created a template but how do I make sure the layers I created within the template are fixed. When I want to purge later layers that can be imported and not created by me when I insert blocks etc. ? Using PURGE ALL the original template layers created are lost unless you go through each purge layer individually which is counterproductive. is there a simple solution to this?

You can prevent the layers from being purged if you create objects on those layers. Some people hide it by using the layers in title blocks. Or create lines in a block then set all objects to be invisible.
