PreDCR User Manual
Introduction
PreDCR is software application used to create the architectural plan as per AutoDCR software requirements.
It works under AutoCAD environment with additional menu & toolbar.
Using PreDCR commands user can create all the required layers in one click. Once all the layers are
created in the drawing user can use AutoCAD commands to draw layout plan. As per AutoDCR requirement all
building items like proposed plot, proposed work should be drawn on corresponding layer. Short commands are
provided to activate any layer in PreDCR. At any time user can verify if the drawn entities are properly closed or
not, if proper name text has been written inside all closed poly or not etc. PreDCR will highlight all the failed
entities if any.
PreDCR can be used to modify/make and verify the existing or new proposal drawing as per AutoDCR
software requirements. Users are free to use AutoCAD commands and or PreDCR commands to achieve the
main purpose which is:
Drawing the architectural plan in DWG format as per AutoDCR software requirements.
For Automating the process of Development Control Regulations user/draughtsman/architect have to follow
some specifications. The following are the list of specifications that the user should follow.
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Plot layout, detailed floor plan and building section for all the floors should be there in one AutoCAD
drawing file. And there must be in 1:1 mt. Scale.
All building items like proposed plot, proposed work, proposed parking etc must be drawn using
closed polyline.
(i.e. Every entity must be closed LWPOLYLINE except Center Line of Main Road, Internal Road,
Railway Line , Drain line, Water Line and Electric Line).
Building Sub-Items must be exactly inside of outer closed polygon as per their place
in architectural plan.
This means none of the edge or vertex of inside entity should be drawn outside its container entity.
For example Parking or Open Space poly must be exactly inside the main plot poly.
Tools are provided in PreDCR to verify this check.
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Every Building Sub-Items should be given a specific/unique name (Text or MText entity) on the
same layer & inside the entity poly. If name not found then AutoDCR will generate the name
automatically. Naming Conventions should be followed properly.
e.g. Each Room should be given the concerned name Living, Kitchen, Bedroom..Etc.
Floor Name: GROUND FLOOR; TYPICAL FLOOR 1,2 & 5-8; TERRACE FLOOR;
Floor Items: Room Names should be given properly without using abbreviations so the software can
identify perfect entity. This can be done by Assign name facility provided by the software.
Floor Poly line must be having all the Arch details inside it
User shall use only following kind of entities for Building Items :LWPOLYLINE / TEXT / MTEXT
If in a plan two proposed work are mirrored in that case user should provide two separate building plan
for each proposed work.
Proposal drawing must be having _OtherDetail poly having the other details to be taken in final printing
such as Elevation. Septic Tank Detail etc.

Types of proposal that can be submitted using Pre-DCR
(Separate drawing files are required for Land-division (Sub-div. & Reconstitution) cases and for Building
Development Case
1) Reconstitution - By drawing initial plots (with unique plot names) on _Plot layer and
amalgamated plot on _Reconstitution layer. Give unique name to amalgamated plot on
'_Reconstitution' layer.e.g.Recon1.
2) Land Division - By drawing initial plots (with unique plot names) on _Plot layer and subdivided
plot on _Subdivision layer. Give unique name to all sub-divided plot on '_sub-division'
layer.e.g.SD1, SD2 etc.
3) Proposed Development - By drawing plot on plot layer with pwork inside plot having all the
Proposed Bldg details
