Setting Out Limited

What We Do

At setting Out Limited we create dynamic blocks for most components that we use and do the same for many items that are to be repeated in various sizes. We do this to reduce the file size of our drawings and to bring a consistent look to our drawings which should be important on a corporate level. If six setter outs are working on the same contract each setter out may have their own block for the same component resulting in all six blocks being inserted into the main general arrangement. The general arrangement can now become sluggish to use as the file size gradually increases with more information being added. 
We are able to reduce this by using dynamic blocks.

From a simple butt hinge that can show plan, elevation and height section as a single block, to an FD30 Fire rated door assembly that can also show plan section, height section, front and rear elevations and include a vision panel or not all from a single block that can show L & R Hand and is also adjustable to fit any structural opening size.
With over 30 years of Autocad experience there is not much we cannot do.

The time taken to learn and understand the possibilities of dynamic blocks is an investment we have found to be worthwhile and we are now in a position to offer these blocks and any future blocks in our online shop.

We have lost count of how many times we have been asked for kitchen unit blocks, so these are available in our shop and are fully adjustable to suit the standard unit sizes from major UK kitchen suppliers.
