5 Save the drawing again.If you’ll need other drawings in the future similar to the current one, consider saving your modified template as a template in its own right. See the section “ssss1,” later in this chapter, for the lowdown on saving templates.
Making the Most of Model Space
After you decide on drawing scale and sheet size, you’re ready to set up your drawing. Most drawings require a two-part setup:
1 Set up model space, where you’ll create most of your drawing.
2 Create one or more paper space layouts for plotting.
As I explain in ssss1, model space is the infinitely large (for all practical purposes), three-dimensional environment in which you create the real objects you’re drawing. You can set up your model space as described in this section; ssss1 introduces you to setting up your paper space layouts.
