LESSON 4. Basic drawing and editing: Mercury Spacecraft Console Panel Section

STEP 1. Drawing setup.

We don't have the dimensions of the console, so we will not draw it to scale. We will use a 11 X 8.5 in. (A size) sheet with portrait orientation. To set up the drawing, work with the Settings options. In the Settings menu on the right, click on . Set the grid to 0.125 Then click on to select the A size sheet, portrait orientation. Your screen should look something like the one below. To adjust the amount of the grid you see on screen use the zoom controls under Window Options. Zoom All allows you to see the entire drawing. Click on NEXT below to go to the next step.
