The Lyons' Share: Getting the most out of Sheet Mode in DraftSight Webinar

Join us for an upcoming Webinar hosted on our Facebook page to learn how Sheet Mode can help you simplify plotting your drawing.

Date/Time: Wednesday, September 21st, 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. EST
Summary: When using "Sheet Space" in DraftSight®, it is as if you have added a sheet of paper to a drafting board, where the "sheet" is represented at a scale of 1:1, and the information contained in the model is visible through a viewport. This viewport may be scaled, rotated and arranged in any way necessary to construct the drawing. Plotting this drawing is simplified because it is always plotted at a scale of 1:1.

Space is limited. Reserve your webinar seat now! After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar.

Be part of the action by posting questions during the Webinar on the DraftSight Facebook event page. Everyone is welcome! To receive an invite to these webinars and others, visit us on Facebook and simply "like" the page.

System Requirements for attendees:
PC: Windows®, 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server
