Setting Up Drawings
By default when you start a new drawing, the Drawing Setup wizard is
displayed, as shown in the following illustration.
You can use this wizard to select the current zone, and to adjust the drawing
units, the horizontal and vertical scales, the current text style, and other set-
tings.
Key Concepts
■ Set up the drawing units and scale based on a plot scale.
■ The precision values in the Drawing Setup wizard control displayed infor-
mation and plotted labels, not the actual values that are stored in the data-
base, which are calculated to the highest internal precision.
■ After you modify the settings for a drawing, you can use the Load/Save
Settings page to name and save the setup so that you can use the same
settings for each drawing in a project.
■ After you initially set up the drawing, you can modify the Drawing Setup
values by choosing the Drawing Setup command from the Projects menu.
