1. Begin a New drawing. If a dialog box appears, either select the ACAD.DWT template or
the template provided by your school or office.
2. Units should be Decimal. Set the Precision to 0.000.
3. Set Limits to a proportion of the paper size, making the lower-left corner 0,0 and the
upper-right at 22,17. This allows space for drawing full size and for dimensions or notes.
4. Zoom All. (Type Z for Zoom; then type A for All.)
5. Set the Grid to 1.
6. Set the Grid Snap increment to .125. Since the Polar Snap increment and Snap Type are not
saved with the drawing (but are saved in the system registry), it is of no use to set these
options at this time.
7. Activate a Layout tab. Assuming your system is configured for a printer using an 11 x 8.5
sheet and is configured to automatically create a viewport (see "Setting Layout Options
and Plot Options" in this chapter), a viewport should appear. If the Page Setup Manager
appears, select Close.
8. Double-click inside the viewport, then select 1:2 from the Viewport Scale list (in the lower-
right corner). Next, double-click outside the viewport or toggle the MODEL button on the
Status bar to PAPER.
9. Activate the Model tab. Save the drawing as CH6EX1B.
