Subtitles of the Movie

OK. Let's look at what we've done so far, a quick review. We've created our Title Block and made it into an AutoCAD Block; you can see it in front of you right now. When I highlight it it's one object, it's an AutoCAD Block, when I double click on it, it allows me to Edit the attributes of that Block using the Enhanced Attribute Editor, so I'm just going to cancel that there. If I now look at the Model tab down here which is now the Model button, remember we changed it, if I right click over those and Display Layout Model tabs they come back here like so. So there's my Model tab there. If I click on Model I still have my office there, it's just not displayed in the A3 Landscape tab in the Layout space just yet. OK. We now need to save all of this as DWG, we'll look at AutoCAD DWT's later but we need to save this as an AutoCAD DWG. Now it's important that you remember that the DWG format gets revised by Autodesk roughly every three years. So AutoCAD 2009 is the last DWG AutoCAD 2007 DWG, so what we need to look at here is how we save this drawing. What we do is we use the Menu Browser here, click on the Down Arrow and we go to File and what I'm going to do here is I'm going to do a Save As. Always try and do a Save As because then you don't overwrite the existing drawing, you may need that for future reference. So you'll notice at the moment in my drawings folder there I've got various drawing for this particular section, section 8 and you'll notice that the current drawing is 0805 saving as a DWG. Now because I've got that drawing open it automatically puts that in the file name box down here. Now I don't want it to be called, Saving as a DWG, I'm going to change that and I'm going to Save it as a A3 Sample Drawing. So I just type that in like so. But notice in the files of type down here I can Save As an AutoCAD 2007 DWG but I can go all the way back to an AutoCAD 2000 DWG. So we're going back 8 versions of AutoCAD if I need to. I can also go back to AutoCAD 14; we're talking 11 years ago when AutoCAD 14 came out. I can save it as a Drawing Template I can also Save it as what they call a DWF, a Drawing Exchange Format, that is a neutral file format. What it allows you to do is basically take the drawing down to everything that is neutral. Layer 0, all the default text, styles and so on. If you've got somebody else using AutoCAD you don't need to create a DWF, but you might need to go back to a previous version. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to go back to a 2004 OK. Still a DWG file but it means that any version of AutoCAD from 2004 and upwards can read the drawing. So if I now save that and click on save you'll notice that the title at the top here, A3 Sample Drawing is there, the drawing doesn't look any different, it won't do because I haven't made any changes. But other versions of AutoCAD will be able to open that drawing. It's important because you might have contractors working for you, third parties that are using older versions of AutoCAD and sending you drawing. So its always good to save As an older file version. Now the way that you can get that to happen automatically is if you right click without any command selected and go to Options here on the Shortcut Menu and go to the Open and Save tab here, notice the File Save by default is AutoCAD 2007 DWG. I can change that so that every time I save now it will always be an AutoCAD 2004 or a 2000 and our 14 and so on. But by default it always goes to the latest version. So if you do need to change it, it's Options in the Open and Save tab and change your File Save As Type. I'm going to cancel that because I don't want it to change and now my drawing is set to always Save as an AutoCAD 2007 DWG.
