Join Shaun Bryant for an in-depth discussion in this video Using draw order, part of AutoCAD Facilities Management: Areas.
- [Voiceover] We're staying in…the 00_Ground_FM_Define .dwg file.…And what we're going to look at now is using draw order.…Now draw order is a very useful tool…in any auto cad drawing.…But particularity useful in facilities management drawings.…Now just before we look at that draw order.…What I'd like you to do is delete…that little poly line we put in there.…That one that we did with the cover.…Let me explain why, we'll zoom in.…And you can see that's using the method…of measurement where we go to the center lines of the walls.…
Now that's not consistent with the rest of the areas…that we've placed on this particular FM drawing.…So I'm just going to select it…and I'm just gonna right click…and erase it there on the shortcut menu.…And then I'm gonna double click on the wheel…to zoom extent so that we can see the whole of the drawing.…Now you'll notice that the areas…that we've got on the drawing already are quite obvious.…They stand out.…Now that's because our reference to structural planner,…or ga drawing has been sent to the back using draw order.…
