New Drawing using the Wizard

New drawings can be created using the setup wizard. This allows a custom drawing to be created by suggesting standard settings, units of measurements and page layouts.

Each new drawing which is created using the Wizard contains layers which can either be used in their original format, or changed to suit the user.

In this task, a simple A3 landscape drawing will be created, using millimeter units.

Select File > New from Wizard and select a Custom Drawing layout. Click Next.

Select a Unit Format of millimeters, Click Next.

Set the Printer Paper Size to Landscape. The width and height area is not important at this stage. Click Next.

Set the Drawing Scale to Engineering and the scale to 1:1 (Full Scale). Click Next.

Create Annotation settings to Text Height = 5 and Page Output to 5. Set the dimension format to either ANSI or ISO depending on your region or preference. Check the option to Scale Dimension Values with Text Height. Click Finish.
