Creating new Project in Land Desktop

Creating new Project in Land Desktop

1. Start Land Desktop 2004. Most probably you’ll see the following dialog box. Click on the new button. [New...]

     2.  If you don't see the above dialog box, goto file menu and click [New...] to open another dialog             box.

3. Click Create Project button as shown below. [Create Project...]

4. Then select Default[Meters] as Prototype for metric system or any other as suitable. Select a project path so that you can access all your project files like drawing, alignment, log etc inside the project path. Give a name and description if required and leave other fields as default. Remember that you can have multiple drawings under a single project. The “Drawing Path for this Project” is to determine where you want to keep your drawing, either inside /dwg folder of your project folder or you want to keep into your own(fixed path). Hit ok once you are done to return back to previous dialog box. [Prototype(Default meters) > Name(acadland) > Ok]

5. Then enter a name for the drawing,(Remember drawing is inside the project path under \dwg folder). You can see your project folder named acadland being created in C:\Land Projects 2004\ path or in the path that you’ve selected. Inside that folder you’ll see dwg folder where your drawings are located. All the information related and required for your project are stored under that acadland project folder. And don’t worry you can have your drawing name the same as your project folder name. [Name(acadland) > Select Drawing templates(acadiso.dwt) > Ok]

6. This step can be skipped as we shall manually set the scales and units or you may select the [m500.set(Metric, 1:500) > Next]

7. Verify metric units being selected as defaults, if not change them to as shown in the figure.

[Linear Units(meters) > Angle units(Degrees) > Angle Display Style(Bearings)> Next]

8. Click custom on both horizontal and vertical fields and provide 1 in both to set 1:1 scale.

Leave other fields as it is.[Drawing Scale > Horizontal(custom)(1) > Vertical(custom)(1) > Next]

9. Choose Nepal or whatever datum you are working in categories and click finish.

10. Finally verify your settings and click ok to complete the project and drawing setup.
