Layouts Display one or more scaled views of your design on a standard-size drawing sheet called a layout. Notes and Labels Create notes, labels, bubbles, and callouts. Save and restore style settings by name. Dimensions Create several types of dimensions and save dimension settings by name. Printing Output a drawing layout to a printer, a plotter, or a file. They will often use different drawing template files depending on the project or the client.

You can save any drawing. You can also open any existing drawing template file, modify it, and then save it again, with a different filename if needed. If you work independently, you can develop your drawing template files to suit your working preferences, adding settings for additional features as you become familiar with them.

After you start a new drawing, you'll first decide what the length of one unit represents—an inch, a foot, a centimeter, a kilometer, or some other unit of length. For example, the objects below could represent two buildings that are each feet long, or they could represent a section from a mechanical part that is measured in millimeters.

After you decide what unit of length that you want to use, the UNITS command lets you control several unit display settings including the following:.

If you plan to work in feet and inches, use the UNITS command to set the unit type to Architectural, and then when you create objects, specify their lengths in inches. If you plan to use metric units, leave the unit type set to Decimal. Changing the unit format and precision does not affect the internal precision of your drawing. It affects only how lengths, angles, and coordinates are displayed in the user interface.

Always create your models at full size scale. The term model refers to the geometry of your design. A drawing includes the model geometry along with the views, notes, dimensions, callouts, tables, and the title block displayed in the layout. You'll specify the scale for printing a drawing on a standard-sized sheet later, when you create the layout.
