7. This Week’s Agenda Includes…
Plant 3D Toolset
How to deploy Plant 3d toolsets

Create an equipment and understand basic pipe routing
Understand the power of data manager tool for locating and modifying component properties
General overview on creating isometric and orthographic drawings for your 3d models
AutoCAD Mechanical groups all settings governed by drafting standards and saves them to a profile referred to as a standard.
AutoCAD Mechanical includes eight such profiles (ANSI, BSI, CSN, DIN, GB, ISO JIS, and GOST), each configured to match a drafting standard. These settings govern how AutoCAD Mechanical’s built-in tools create geometry. Therefore, AutoCAD Mechanical is said to be standards-driven. The following figure shows a drawing of a shaft created with the standard set to DIN. Note how the annotations comply with the DIN standard.
Default Drafting Standard
Because AutoCAD Mechanical is standards-driven, assigning a drafting standard to a drawing is critical. When you create a drawing, AutoCAD Mechanical automatically assigns a drafting standard to the drawing.
If you open an AutoCAD drawing or create a drawing using an AutoCAD template (.dwt), AutoCAD Mechanical assigns the most appropriate standard for the drawing (see also the following discussion “making standard overrides and custom standards available for other drawings”). You can change the drafting standard easily.
Settings Controlled by the Drafting Standard
The drafting standard controls the following elements of the standard:
Mechanical object behavior.
What layers Mechanical Objects are created on.
The properties of these layers.
Text heights and colors.
Projection settings for use with Power View.
Dimension styles.
Hole chart settings and formats.
CEnterline format.
Section line format.
Threadline format.
Note text and leader formats.
Symbology formats.
Bill of Materials (BOM), parts list and balloon formats.
