One of the first requirements of working with AutoCAD Land Desktop is that your drafting and designing environment (your drawing file) must be linked to a project. A project is simply a storage area for a drawing's associated data, which can include points, surfaces, alignments, pipes, parcels, and survey observations.
Project data is not stored in the drawing, but in separate folders on your system.
To work through this lesson follow these steps
Start AutoCAD Land Desktop if you have not already done so.
On the Projects menu, click Workspaces to display the Workspaces toolbar. In the list, select Land Desktop to display the Land Desktop menus.
Working through these lessons will result in alteration of the project files. Backup copies of these project files can be found in the c:\Program Files\AutoCAD Land Desktop <Version Number>\Landtut folder.
If this lesson has been previously run, copy these unaltered project files to the \Land Projects <Version Number> folder when starting a new tutorial session to ensure that the sequence outlined in each lesson can be followed properly.
