CREATING SHEET FILES
There are various ways to create a new sheet file in Civil Designer. The simplest method is to modify one of the sheet file templates that come with the program. New sheet files can also be created from scratch which involves loading or drawing a new sheet and setting the co-ordinates of the lines and text using the snap mode to jump to the various start and end points.
Once the new sheet has been created, the same sheet can be used for any size drawing, Civil Designer will automatically scale the sheet to fit.
