Step 37. Add the chairs on each side of the credenza as shown in Figure 3-20.
Figure 3-20 Use the MIRROR command to copy the four chairs on the left side to the right side, and then copy CHAIR 1 to both sides of the credenza
Step 38. Set layer i-eqpm-ovhd current.
Step 39. Add the 72″ × 3″ recessed projection screen and the 24″ × 24″ ceiling-mounted projector to the plan as shown in Figure 3-21. Let’s use the From option of the OSNAP menu to do this.
Figure 3-21 Add the projection screen and projector
Start the Rectangle command, <Shift> and right-click to open the OSNAP menu, select From, and then show the inner upper-left corner of the room as the reference point. You will be prompted to define the x- and y-offsets: 4′6″ and −1′, respectively. 72″ and 3″. This fixes one corner of the rectangle for the recessed projection screen. The second corner is fixed by typing in @72,-3 and pressing <Enter>. As for the ceiling-mounted projector, use the inner lower-left corner of the room as the reference, 6′6″ and 8′0″ as the x- and y-offsets to fix the lower-left corner of the rectangle and @24,24 to fix the second point of the rectangle.
Step 40. Erase the chairs you have drawn outside the conference room walls.
Step 41. Set layer a-anno-text current.
Step 42. Use the Single Line Text command (type DT <Enter>) to type your name, class number, and date, 6″ high in the upper-right corner. When plotted to a scale of 1/4″ = 1′-0″, the 6″-high text will be 1/8″ high.
Step 43. When you have completed Exercise 3-1 (Figure 3-22), save your work in at least two places.
