  4. 8. Click and drag the view that you want onto the sheet 9. This is what it should look like… 10. Drag and click your curser in any direction to get the next view

  5. 11. Click and drag all of your viewsfrom the top view (drag to the right side and you get your right view, left side to get your right view, down to get your bottom view and up to get your back view) 12. If you want to move your top view, click on the blue dotted line around the box

  6. 13. Once you’ve selected the blue dotted line, drag the box around and all of your views will move 14. To change the colour of a view, first select the middle box

  7. 15. This style is the wireframe 16. This style makes hidden lines visible 18. This style makes your view shaded with visible edges 17. This style removes the hidden lines 19. This style makes your view shaded

  8. 20. To change the colour of one view, click on the view that you want and then select the style. If you want all of them the same style, hold down the “Ctrl” button and click on each view and then click the style.

  9. 21. To change the scale, first right click on the paper and select “Properties…” 22. Under the scale, change the 20 to whatever you want your scale to be and then click “OK” or enter.. 23. If you want to change the scale of only one view, click on the one view and go to the left side of the screen scroll down in the sidebar, and under the “Scale” box, select “Use custom scale” 24. Click on the arrow beside the “User Defined” button and you can either select what you want your scale to be or what user defined means is that you can personalize it

  10. The normal automatic scale is 1:20 but I chose to make the view of the cabinet smaller so I changed it to 1:30.

  11. To change the paper size, right click the paper and select “Properties…” Change the Width and Height to whatever sizes you want, 11in by 8.5in is a good size! Press “Ok” to finish

  12. Last but not least! You have to check your type of projection 25. Right click the paper and go down to “Properties…” 26. You can choose from either first angle or third angle, but you always have to make sure it is on third. 27. Once you have selected third angle, click “Ok” or press enter to finish off.
