(non-menu command)

 

Specify the name of the file in a dialog box and the scale at which it is to be placed. A rectangle representing the drawing at the specified scale is attached to the cursor. Move the cursor to place the drawing on the sheet. If the size of the rectangle is unsatisfactory, press Enter to specify a new scale.

To help you place the drawing, you can change the origin of the frame, i.e. the point at which the rectangle is attached to the cursor. Press Alt+2 to change the position of the minimum enclosing rectangle of the drawing in relation to the cursor. There are five possible locations:
