The standard for this unit was to demonstrate the ability to read and draw using the proper scale. We met this standard by setting 100 drawings to scale. We scaled these 100 drawings to 100% accuracy as well. To set the drawings to scale, first opened the drawing from the N drive. Then you must make sure all of the settings are correct. You go to the layout tab and press on the rectangle section. You then must press the button that says rectangle. After that, you must press on the corner and then click on the other corner. You will then see your drawings. To set it to scale you must press on the viewport. After you do that you see the viewport window. From there you find which scale best fits. This unit taught us the basics of AutoCAD. With this and future instruction hopefully we can move forward in our goals related to architecture and engineering. My future goal related to this unit is that I would like to be an architect when I get older so learning the basics of AutoCAD was the start of learning new things about architecture.
