Digital Design and Communication Teaching (DiDACT) Department of Landscape AutoCad - Workshop 4 In this workshop we will look at: Seng up your drawing sheet Viewports Prinng your work Once you’ve drawn your work in the Model space and you’re ready to print, you need to set up your Drawing Sheet Layout (i.e. the piece of paper) you’ll be prinng your work on. In theory the the only thing that will limit how big the piece of paper can be is the size the paper the printer you’re sending it to can take. In most cases this will be A0 (841 × 1189mm) although more common prinng sizes will be A1 (594 x 841mm) and A2 (594 x 420mm). In the case of this workshop we will be seng up an A3 page (420 x 297mm) as this can be easily printed to the colour ploers and will best suit the scale of the drawing done. SETTING UP YOUR PAGE LAYOUT: This basically means seng up the piece of paper you’ll be prinng your work on and is quick to do. Simply click on the tag that says “Layout 1” next to the Model tag on your Autocad document (see Image 1). You will leave your working “Model” space and move to the “Layout” space (see Image 2). You’ll noce a box on the sheet of paper that may show some of your work or a grid in it if the grid is sll on. This is a Viewport, which are like windows into the Model space where you’ve been drawing your work. It is from these that you can zoom in to your work at a scale to fit onto the piece of paper.
