6. Create a paper space border for a B-sized sheet 11" x 17" sheet using the rectangle command. Type REC<RET>0,0<RET>16.5,10.5<RET>
7. Create a viewport for the overall house plan. Type MV<RET> then select two points for the size and shape of the viewport to contain the overall plan. If you mis-judge the size or shape, no problem, because you can always change it later by grabbing on one of its grips at the corner of the Viewport and stretching it.
8. Click inside the viewport and zoom to extents.
9. Set the scale of this viewport to 1/8" = 1'-0" by clicking on the viewport (edge) and selecting the scale from the Properties Palette.
10. Lock the viewport by clicking on the viewport (edge), then right-clicking, then click on the cursor menu item "Display Locked" then pick "Yes."
11. Adjust the corners of the viewport so the entire plan will be in it, and move it to the lower left corner of the sheet.
12. Create a second viewport for a detailed plan of the bathroom. Type MV<RET>then select two points for the size and shape.
13. Click inside the viewport and zoom to extents.
14. Set the scale of this viewport to 1/4" = 1'-0" by clicking on the viewport (edge) and selecting the scale from the Properties Palette.
15. Adjust the corners of the viewport so only the bathroom will appear within it, and move it to the upper right corner of the sheet.
16. Create a new layer called A-ANNO-NOTE-DETL, and make it current. Set the lineweight to 0.20. Set the color to Cyan.

18. Click inside the lower left viewport (the overall plan). The crosshairs will appear inside the viewport and the Model Space icon in the lower-left corner of that viewport. This is now the "active" viewport.
19. Freeze the layer A-ANNO-NOTE-DET in this viewport by selecting the layer list and clicking on the third icon from the left - it is the sun icon with a rectangle behind it (representing a viewport). When you click on this icon it will turn into a snowflake with a rectangle behind it, freezing that layer within this viewport only.
