Setting out plan

 I have been looking at creating my setting out plan. I have been using the field feature within AutoCAD which allows me to create a block that when I move the point will automatically generate the coordinates rather than me manually inputting each one. The feature isn't perfect due to the point constantly changing sizes however this method is still significantly easier than manually creating the setting out plan.

Setting out plans is used on-site to ensure all areas are built correctly. This method of setting out allows people to use a GPS to ensure everything is in the correct place. The other method of setting out is to use an agreed centre line which then dimensions are created relative to this agreed line. There are pros and cons to both methods however with how advanced GPS is it makes the most sense to use this method as there is less room for human error.
