The initial screen presents the Units options as indicated by the arrow. Select Architectural in the center of the dialog box. A "bullet" appears in the radio button to the left. You'll notice the demo to the right will change showing a sample of what architectural units look like.

You may select the other buttons to see samples of them, but then reselect the Architectural option. The arrow on the settings list drops to Angle , and the options on the right side of the dialog box change accordingly. Select the different radio buttons to see how each appears in the sample image to the right. Then set the Decimal Degrees option as shown. Most of us are familiar with the nautical way of determining degrees a product of a good scout training. Unfortunately, the computer masters that created AutoCAD apparently missed that training.

If another CAD operator discovers that you have changed the angles, you may be in for some grief. This one also suffers the wrath of the programmers. We must now measure our angles counterclockwise! In the Area options dialog box shown , you'll determine the size of the sheet on which you'll plot your final drawing. The default is 1' wide by 9" long, shown in the architectural units we set up in Step 4. Look at the Drawing Scales chart Appendix A.

Did you come up with 44' x 68'? The Drawing1. Starts a new drawing based on the imperial measurement system. The default drawing boundary the grid limits is 12 by 9 inches. Starts a new drawing based on the metric measurement system. The default drawing boundary the grid limits is by millimeters. Displays a description of the selected measurement setting. Starts a drawing based on a drawing template file. Template drawings store all the settings for a drawing and may also include predefined layers, dimension styles, and views.

This setting limits the area of the drawing covered by grid dots when the grid is turned on. When limits checking is turned on with the LIMITS command, this setting also restricts the coordinates you can enter to within the rectangular area. List of Options The following options are displayed. Units Indicates the unit format and precision.

Angle Indicates the format in which you enter angles and in which the program displays angles. Decimal Degrees Displays partial degrees as decimals. Grads Displays angles as grads. Radians Displays angles as radians. Surveyor Displays angles in surveyor's units. Angle Measure Indicates the direction of the 0 angle for the entry of angles.
