PLS CADD staking sheets

PLS CADD staking sheets

PLS CADD staking sheets

(OP)
I am attempting to learn PLS CADD. I have seen some really nice staking sheets with the plan view laid on a map image. I was wondering how to get the map image into PLS. Also how do I get my Title block from AutoCAD into PLS.

RE: PLS CADD staking sheets

I'm a structural guy and don't know much about your topic. AFA, AutoCAD title blocks into PLS, I don't think it is possible. You have to create one in PLS, IIRC. AFA, importing the maps into PLS, I believe there is a Technote on their website or in the help file.

If you are a valid license holder, just write them an eMail and request some guidance for your issues. They are more than willing to help users.

RE: PLS CADD staking sheets

Save the title block as a DXF file, then use the attachment manager to put in into the plan view or the sheets view.

If your map is geo-referenced, just use the attachment manager. If instead it a scanned image, there is a tool for importing old plan & profile drawings. You click on a couple of known matching points in both your model and the map, then PLS-CADD will rotate & scale the scanned image to match.
