7 Procedure on Auto CAD LT Convert any publicly available data into data for use on CAD. In this chapter, we use the government issued "Data map 2500" (space database )to create CAD data. 1 this is a picture of a block of [ Data map 2500 ] Block insert the land number in "Map1.dwg"drawing and apply the object definition to the land number. 3 Select "Create " "Block " "Object definitions." Object definition dialogue is displayed. Check "preset" 4 "name" and < A-1 > for "Value" Data map 2500 is a government map based on 1/2500 city planning base map. 5 Set text height to < > (It can be charged) The scale of this drawing is not the actual size, so the text is set on the bigger value. 6 Click the point where information insertion is desired. map bmp 7 Left click any point on the screen. map bmp 2 "Data map "is not based on CAD data, so this needs to be converted into CAD data (dwg file) Chita peninsula (Tokoname City ) map bmp 8 "Object definition" dialogue is displayed again and in formation of the insertion point is displayed. Chubu international airport map bmp The data used here is based on the image of the planned Chubu International Air port to be located. off the coast of Tokoname city. The landscape of the tokoname city and surroundings have been made by combining approximately 10 segments of "data map 2500 " To refer to this information on the last page of this book Click "OK" to insert "land number "as below. The text can be resized and repositioned. map bmp Use "By block "to create, NOT "By Layer." Only the land number created by "By block" can turn into a different color. 13

8 To block define the field as land number using the block definition command. Enter object data of the land number using block insert command. 10 Select Create Block definition 15 Select Insert Block 11 Enter land number in the name box and click choose object 16 Select land number from mane of Block insert dialogue click OK 12 Select land number and press Enter map bmp 17 Left click at the place you want to insert the block. map bmp The land number (A-01 as the number in the map below ) will be inserted immediately. map bmp 13 block definition dialogue will reappear Select indicate the insertion point and click the center of land number 14 Block definition dialogue will appear again, chick OK to confirm. map bmp 18 Copy and paste the land number (30 copies of the A-01 are pasted in the map) 14 map bmp map bmp 15
