2. Select a Template Drawing. Template drawings are drawings that are saved with basic setups. For example: you have a new client and want to do a basic drawing from which all other drawings will be created. You then create a new drawing and add the company's title block, and set up your basic defaults. Then you Save the drawing to the TemplateDrawings folder.

The TemplateDrawings folder can be found at: c:\program files\WireCAD5\TemplateDrawings\ (assumes you installed in the default location).

3. Set Grids and Precision. Here you can set up some basic drawing parameters. These properties can also be edited in the Drawing Property window's General Properties.

4. Create Model Space Boundaries. The Model Space Boundaries function takes two arguments, the Model Space Text Height and the desired Final Output Text Height. Using these two variables in conjunction with the size of the Viewports in each Layout to create  boundary rectangles in the Model space. Each boundary is accompanied by a text description that describes the Viewport and  to which the boundary applies as well as the text heights and scale factor.
