This will give you a guide on paper sized and will help you to decide what is the best paper size for your project.




Before You Start

You will need to know what size paper your printer uses or if you are going to take your project to a printing buisness to print.


ISO A Drawing Sizes (MM)

Size Label Actual Size
A4 210mm X 297mm
A3 297mm X 420mm
A2 420mm X 594mm (A4 X 2)
A1 594mm X 841mm (A3 X 2)
A0 841mm x 1189mm (A2 X 2)


Project File Structure

WireCAD will create a project folder wherever you selected and two subfolders:

YourProjectName
-Drawings
-Project Databases

If you opted for SQL Server databases your Project Databases folder will be empty. This is normal since the database files reside on the server.
