 Opening a new drawing: You can use the "New" button on the Start tab, the Quick Access
Toolbar, or the "QNEW" command to start a new drawing.
 Selecting a template: The software might prompt you to choose a template based on the type of
drawing you're creating (e.g., architectural, mechanical). Using a template can save you time by
providing pre-defined settings like units, grid spacing, and layers.
 Setting units: It's crucial to specify the units you'll be using in your drawing (e.g., inches,
millimeters) to ensure accurate measurements.
 Using the grid: The grid helps you precisely position elements in your design. You can adjust the
grid spacing and snapping behavior to your preference.
