Layer naming convention. Our discipline is Architectural so we start the layer name with A For a ground floor layer add 01: so it now becomes A01
Add WALL for floor plan walls: A01WALL Sample layer names
Not all kinds of lines are in the table. Follow the Graphic Standards for your guide

You can also TWEAK this to get your desired effect: • Thickness • Color (for shading) • For different scales in the same layout
Text Heights & Drawing Scales *Note: All text on Sheridan drawings to use romans.shx or simplex.shx font. Table below is used for non ANNOTATIVE style of placing TEXT. For the ANNOTATIVE Style, use 1:1 dimensions
Annotative Scaling • Use annotative scaling so that you always draw the full size of the text even in model space as you do in paper space
Annotative Scaling • When you use the TEXT command, use the ANNOTATIVE style
Annotative Scaling • Type your TEXT in Model Space or the model tab • Go to the Layout Tab and create 2mm parallel lines in Paper space • Turn Annotation Visibility and Automatically add scale buttons ON
Annotative Scaling • In Model space, change the scale and pan the text you typed between the 2mm lines • The Text should fit within the lines at any scale
Annotative Scaling • Type some text in paper space using the same ANNOTATIVE STYLE with 2mm text height • It will have the same height as your text in model space • Erase the drawings and save this file to your SHERIDAN METRIC template to update your tmp file. Do the same for your SHERIDAN IMPERIAL template
