Hi Everyone,

For some unknown reason the member of this group don't know that you
sould be posting your question and/or experiences using autocad in
the field of Landscape Architecture.

So therfore, I will try to get the message posting going.

1. How do you place/make your planting legend in autocad?

Do you just make a legend in autocad, do you using excel or another
program and bring it in as a OLM, or do you using a third party
software that makes legend.

2. How do you do irrigation design?

Do you print out the design, hand design it, scan it in and then draw
it in cad, do you do it in autocad, or do you do it in a third party
like landcadd

3. Plant blocks - do you have an master plant block file, so you can
always use the same block to be the same plant for all your projects
or do you just use any block for that project. I.E. a circle w/ a
soild box is alway Rhaphiolepis indica?

4. How do you set up you drawings?

Do you use xrefing, or do you just insert everything into the your
drawing.

5. Have you made custom line types that likes like the old formaline
tape?

6. Do you do color rendering plots w/ autocad and m-color software?
How easily/hard is it to use?

7. Do you have any Lisp programs that will help you do grading,
irrigation, or slope factoring for plant counts?

8. Have you used the raster design program from autodesk? How
easily/hard is it to use?

Please remember you deal w/ most of these questions on a daily bases
and I started this group to learn how other LA use autocad, so far
all I have seen is people joining on day and quiting the next. So
help us all out and lets start posting questions.
