AIM

To create a layout of the Plan and Section A of the project in Challenges 7, using the template Tutorial-mArch.dwt in a scale as given in the Figure.

INTRODUCTION

A layout is a 2D working environment for creating drawing sheets. The area within a layout is called paper space, where you can add a title block, display scaled views of model space within layout viewports, and create tables, schedules, notes, and dimensions for your drawing.

Viewports allow you to create different views of the objects in your model space and display them on the printed page from different angles and at different scales.

PROCEDURE

Open the AutoCAD Application and click 'Open files' and select 'Week 7' since reference is taken from week 7 challenges.

Set the length type in 'Decimal' and precision (0.00), insertion scale to 'Millimeters' in the Drawing Units and press OK. Set limits and zoom all.
