Editing Drawing Settings

In this exercise, you will edit settings for the current drawing, and then save them to a prototype so these settings can be reused.

  1. On the Projects menu, click Edit Drawing Settings to display the Edit Settings dialog box.

  2. Verify that the Program list displays AutoCAD Land Desktop.

  3. From the Settings list, select Geodetic Labels, and then click Edit Settings to display the Geodetic Annotation Settings dialog box.

  4. In the Line Annotation section, in the Az column, clear the Grid and Ground check boxes.

  5. In the Suffix column, enter m for the Grid, Ground, and Geodetic suffixes.

  6. In the Distance Unit column, select METERS from the Grid, Ground, and Geodetic lists.

  7. Click OK to return to the Edit Settings dialog box.

    These settings only apply to the current drawing. Save these settings to a prototype so that future projects can use these settings.

  8. In the Selected Item section, click Save to Prototype to display the Select Prototype dialog box.

  9. From the Select Prototype list, select DEFAULT (METERS), click OK to return to the Edit Settings dialog box, and then click Close.

You now have a prototype drawing setup that you can use for subsequent projects.

This concludes the project settings lesson. In the next lesson, you'll learn about point objects.
