Creating layouts

- A drawing package may include several sheets,…so we are often required…to create several layouts for our drawings.…By default, the AutoCAD templates have two layouts…already created.…Name layout one and layout two.…We can access the available layouts…in the menu here in the status bar,…and clicking on the layout tab…that we wanna navigate to.…Here in layout one, we can see a single view port…has already been created for us.…For the purposes of this lesson,…we're gonna delete this view port…and create a new one later on.…

To start, I'm gonna create a rectangle…to represent the paper I want to eventually print on.…I'll create it with a rectangle,…making sure that I'm on the right layer,…and my first corner point at 0,0.…The piece of paper I'm gonna be printing on is 8.5 x 11…on a landscape mode.…So I'm gonna make my width 11 and my height 8.5.…As most printers cannot print…all the way to the edge of a piece of paper,…I'm gonna offset the rectangle…a quarter of a unit to the inside…to act as a margin.…

From here I would go about creating my title block…
