      In this exercise you will take a short cut by importing the Plot Setup A from My Decimal Setup. (Note: If the Printer, Paper size and Plot Scale is the same you can use the same Page Setup.)

      If the drawing does not look correct, press the Esc key and check all your settings, then preview again.
