2. Place the kitchen drawing at the wall intersection below the bathtub. (See the top image
in Figure 6.19.)
If you didn't complete the kitchen earlier in this chapter, you can insert the 06a-kitchen
.dwg file. Metric users can insert 06 kitchen-metric.dwg.
3. Adjust your view with Pan and Zoom so that the upper portion of the apartment unit is
centered in the drawing area, as illustrated in the top image in Figure 6.19.

The next step is to add the entry door shown in the bottom image in Figure 6.19. In doing that,
you'll use a number of new tools together to streamline the drawing process.
In this exercise, you'll practice using the Osnap Tracking feature and the From Osnap option
to place the entry door at an exact distance from the upper corner of the floor plan:
1. Make sure the Door layer is current. Right-click in the Command window, and choose
Insert from the shortcut menu to open the Insert Block dialog box. The shortcut menu
displays the last three commands used, but if you choose More Commands, you can see
additional commands you previously used.
2. Select Door from the Name pop-up menu.
3. Make sure the Specify On-Screen option is checked in the Rotation group but not in the
Scale group, and then click Insert. You'll see the door follow the cursor in the drawing
window. You may need to click the Show Insertion Options disclosure triangle to view
the scale and rotate options.
4. Right-click the mouse, and choose Snap Overrides From.
