toggles through the
other four commands
in this order: Move,
rotate, Scale, Mirror.
8. You need a border set in from the edge. Offset the rectangle 2
(600 mm) to the inside.
With a scale of 3 16 = 1 -0 (1 = 60), each 1 -0 (60 mm) on the draw-
ing will be represented by 3 16 (1 mm) on the sheet. So, a 2 (600 mm)
offset distance will create an offset of 3 8 (10 mm) on the printed sheet.
9. Double-click the inside rectangle to start the PEDIT command.
10. Enter W 2 ↵↵ ( 50 ↵↵ ).
This command sets the width of the inside rectangle's segments to
2 (50 mm).
