Setup should include

• template drawings (e.g., 2D, 3D)
• reference standards (e.g., dimensioning variables, text styles and sizes).

Process/Skill Questions:

• Why should all setup tasks be performed prior to beginning a drawing?
• How can setup commands specific to a particular manufacturer’s CADD software (e.g., MVSETUP) be incorporated with other CADD systems?
• What is the advantage of a template to start a drawing?
