Startup PLANS Dwg with default views

Startup PLANS Dwg with default views

(OP)
I am not too fluent in Arch Desktop 2002 2006 and am wondering if someone could share a DWG that can be used as the starting point for drawing a set of house plans.

Ideally 3D model space would already have layers defined and layout viewports at the 36x24 planview boundarys would have tabs for:
Layout1 North Elevation
Layout2 South Elevation
Layout3 East Elevation
Layout4 West Elevation
Layout5 N-S Section
Layout6 E-W Section
Layout7 Floor Plan
Layout8 Roof Plan
Layout9 Foundation Plan

Or is there a tutorial that achieves this.

RE: Startup PLANS Dwg with default views

Hi CTruax,

Go to your "Format" pulldown menu, then select "Drawing Setup..." and follow the "bouncing ball".  That will get you going with the right layers, scales etc.

As for your tabs, check the available drawing templates, I doubt there's one to fit your needs exactly, but there should be enough examples to get you going...
