This tutorial walks through recompiling a3.3 file for final exam: wall sections, keynotes, and details, covering essential tools and techniques for your projects.

For your final exam, please recompile the A3.3 file. That includes the wall sections, the wall section keynotes, and the details. And then, if you would please, go up to mText, and go ahead and make sure that you've redefined the bounding box.

Give it a height value of half an inch, and type in your name, and close the text editor. And then move it so that it is sort of out of the way. And save the file, and then go to print the drawing.

I'm typing plot. Make sure you're choosing Drawing to PDF, the 22 × 34, one-to-one. Do your preview, and then go ahead and save and plot that drawing that you can submit to me so I can see how well you're doing.

So, thank you very much for enjoying this course. It's been fun. I look forward to seeing you in other classes in the near future.
