Specify Units, Angles,
and Scale
Every object you draw is measured in units. You can
choose from several common conventions to represent
distances and angles on the screen. To set a scale for
your drawing, you use a different method than you use
in manual drafting. Instead of establishing a scale first,
you draw at full size instead, and when you are ready to
plot your drawing, you choose a scale to fit the drawing
on the paper.
