Help! I'm Lost in a Drawing Program & Can't Get Out!
We decided to draw up a layout drawing of "the littlest shop in NC" hoping to kill two birds with one stone; Plan out the shop and get acquainted with a drawing program which we hoped to use for projects. Five days later......and we are ready to switch over from woodworking to underwater basket weaving. Not really. 
We can't get our prehistoric Corel 3.0 to save so we downloaded Alibre's free program. Now we can't get the scale to fit the "paper"
The shop is 172.75" x 75.00".
Can anyone help us out please.
Duke & Irene

Re: Help! I'm Lost in a Drawing Program & Can't Get Out!
Duke, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I will be able to chime in to give you some advise on that program. I am still trying to learn my way around Turbo CAD.
Anyone out there have a solution for Duke and Irene?

I be clueless. I can rebuild a PC, reload it, and repair it, but when it comes to drawing apps I am a MORON to put it nicely.
