Before You Start
There are a couple of things you need to think about before you create your new drawing: What type of paper/printer layout will you be using when it comes time to print your project. What will this drawing be named.
How To Create a New Drawing
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Click File>New Drawing OR Click the New Drawing tab in the Project Explorer Or enter nd in the Command Line | |
| A dialog box will pop up asking you to select a drawing template. This will be based on the type of paper you plan to print your drawings on. | |
| Select your template and Click [Next]. | You will now have a dialog box pop up asking you to select if you want to use Model Space Boundries. Selecting use Model Space Boundries will put a Boundry on your model space based on what your template choice. You can draw outside the boundry but if you print that page, anything outside that boundry will not be printed. |

Project File Structure
We 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.
