LESSON 2. Drawing setup

STEP 3. Set line type and text type.

The Set Line Type command in the Settings section of the menu enables you to control the thickness and type of lines that are created by the drawing command. For example, here's the same line that was drawn back in Step 2 using the hidden line type.

You can change the appearance of lines that you have already drawn using the Change Line Type command.

Similarly, you can control the size of text on your drawing using the Set Text Type command. Shown below are the four sizes of type that are available in CadStdŽ. You can change the size of existing text using the Change Text Type Command.

This concludes Lesson 2 on Drawing Setup. Lesson 3 is a simple project using what you've learned about drawing setup and the Line and Text commands.
