You can organize drawing information on different layers. Think of a layer as a transparent drawing sheet that you place over the drawing and that you can remove at will. The coordinate system remains the same from one layer to another, so graphical objects on separate layers remain aligned. You can create a virtually unlimited number of layers wit...
One of the advantages of using layers in the drawing is that you can choose not to display selected layers. That way, if you want to create projection lines or even notes about the drawing, you can draw them on a layer that you will later turn off, so that it isn’t displayed or printed. Or you may want to create a complex drawing with many layers, ...
You can see a locked layer on the screen, and you can add new objects to it. However, you can’t make changes to the new or old objects on that layer. This is useful when you need the layer for reference but do not want to change it. For example, you might want to move several items so that they line up with an object on the locked layer but prevent...
The Select Color dialog box allows you to specify the color for objects drawn on a layer. You will select the color cyan for the easement layer that you are creating.

The object snap feature accurately selects locations based on existing objects in your drawing. When you click points from the screen without using object snaps, the resolution of your screen makes it impossible for you to select points with the accuracy stored in the drawing database.

Click: Zoom Realtime button Select an arbitrary point in the middle of your drawing and hold down the click button of your pointing device while dragging the cursor up and down.

The Pan command lets you position the drawing view on the screen without changing the zoom factor. Unlike the Move command, which moves the objects in your drawing to different locations on the coor dinate system, the Pan command does not change the location of the objects on the coordinate system. Rather, your view of the coordinate system and the...
In Tutorial 1 you learned to use the Circle command by specifying a center point and a radius value. You can also use the Circle command to draw circles by specifying any two points (Circle 2 Point), any three points (Circle 3 Point), or two tangent references and a radius (Circle Tan Tan Radius). You will use the Endpoint object snap mode to make ...
The Circle Tangent, Tangent, Tangent command lets you quickly define a circle that is tangent to three entities in the drawing. Try it on your own by selecting the Tan, Tan, Tan button from the Circle flyout and then selecting three lot lines to draw a circle tangent to. Now erase the extra circles on your own.
