ABSTRACT

The chapter aims to demonstrate the value of the Zoom tools and to introduce the Pan tool. It describes the value of using the Aerial View window in conjunction with the Zoom and Pan tools. The chapter also aims to update the acadiso.dwt template. It also describes the construction and saving of drawing templates. The use of the Zoom tools allows the close inspection of the most minute areas of a drawing in the AutoCAD 2020 drawing area, which allows the accurate construction of very small details in a drawing. The Pan tools can be called from the Pan sub-menu of the View drop-down menu or by entering pan or p at the keyboard. Drawings were constructed in the template acadiso.dwt, which loads when AutoCAD 2020 is opened. The default acadiso template has been amended to Limits set to 420,297, Grid Display set to 10, Snap Mode set to 5, and the drawing area Zoomed to All.
