Drawing the computer unit - page 1
This month’s lesson covers the completion of the demonstration computer in our trade show booth. Rather than continue to work on the very large scale the next step in the computer’s creation will take place on a 40 inch x 40-inch paper.

Step 01

Start a new drawing and set the Layout, Page Setup, Custom, 40 inch x 40-inch page size. Create a rectangle 7.75 inches wide by 17.0 inches high. Round the corners very slightly with a setting of 4.
