The next project we're going to tackle is to assemble our detail sheet where we will be X-wrapping all of the details into the detail sheet itself. So I'm going to go to the Start tab, go to Choose Templates, and I will choose our VDCI-01 template file.
Now when you look at the tabs at the bottom, you can see there's an 8.5x11 and an 11x17, but there's not a 22x34. But we have other deliverable sheet files that already have the 22x34 environment within them, so let's go get one. I'm going to go over to the Design Center.
I'm in my CAD folder. I'm going to slide down and choose VDCI-A202, expand it. I will go to Layouts.
If I need to, I can slide this bar back and forth, choose 22x34, pick, hold down, lift up, and close the interface. And boom, there it is. But what's happened is that in the drawing that we used to bring in, there was already information actually in that paper space environment.
So I'm going to go on and erase everything. I'm going to go to Purge, Purge, and I'm going to purge everything that's in there and save the file. I'm going to save it on my C drive.
I'm going to call it VDCI-A304, and we're there. So I will once again save the file. What I want to do next is to bring in the title block that we created in Class 1, so Reference Attach.
I will slide down and choose my VDCI-TTLB2234, scale factor of 1,0, 0 as an attachment, and go OK and save the file. The next thing I want to do is to bring in my TBTX file. So I'm going to go Block Insert, More Options, go to Browse, slide down to the bottom, choose my TBTX2234.
It will come in at 0,0, scale factor of 1, uniform scale, not exploded, OK. The sheet number will be A3.4, drawn by, my initials, check by, scale as noted, and there we are. If you would please get this far, and then what we'll do is we'll actually start bringing in the details themselves.
