Introduction to Model Space
1. New drawing should to used your template (please
don’t choose new file)click open on your template
Introduction to Model Space
All files
currently
open on tab
Selected
model tab
to draw
Selected
layout tab to
print out
We need save as new drawing with form:
your first and last Initial-1309-Assignment #
EX: TB-1309-ASSIGNMENT 1
Model space: is where you design and draw the part and assembly
Template will be inserted and drawn. If the parts size are smaller
template size then they will be drawn in template. In otherwise,
they will be drawn outside template, then we will be add them to
template in Layout space / Sheet (Lecture session 6)
Introduction to Model Space
Save as
