Key Insights
- Understanding and properly utilizing the AutoCAD for Interior Design Residential Sheet Notes document is vital. By using keyboard shortcuts like CTRL-C, you can easily copy information such as furniture notes from your document to AutoCAD.
- Learn how to manipulate and position your notes in AutoCAD effectively. Merely using the move tool (M), you can adjust your notes to the desired position with specific measurements, such as moving them one inch down or an eighth of an inch to the left.
- Layer updates are crucial in perfecting your design in AutoCAD. This guide will assist you in detecting errors like an active demolition sync and making necessary adjustments, such as utilizing the VP freeze function to correct these mistakes.

We are almost done with Sheet i4. It's really exciting. Let's wrap it up by adding our notes and making a couple of layer updates.
First in AutoCAD, let's go ahead and double click outside of the viewport to make sure we are back in paper space. If you have any issue with that, just type in PS for paper space and it takes you back to that sheet level. Over here we need to open up our AutoCAD for Interior Design Residential Sheet Notes document.
Once you've got that opened up, I'm going to scroll down to page 12. This contains our furniture notes. We'll highlight the title and select CTRL C on our keyboard.
Double click in AutoCAD on General Notes. Highlight everything and CTRL V to paste. There are our furniture notes.
Now let's go back to our document and select all seven of our notes. Select CTRL C on our keyboard. Go back to AutoCAD.

Select the notes. Delete absolutely everything. CTRL V to paste.
There we go. That looks good. I'm going to select my notes and use M for move.
I'm going to click and drag this down and I'll type in one inch. Enter. That looks pretty good.
I'm also going to just move everything a little bit to the left. Select everything. M for move.
Click. Go to the left. I'll just go one eighth of an inch.
Let's see if that lets me put my notes on one line. Move that arrow. It does.
Grab that all into one line and move that down. Let's go down like three quarters of an inch. There we go.
That looks pretty good. Now we'll double check our layers. I'm noticing here that we still have that demolition sync turned on.
Let's go ahead and double click in our viewport. Type in layer and let's look for it. It should be pfixed demo.
As we guessed, it is still on. We want to use the VP freeze column, third column over, to VP freeze that. It disappeared.
Now logic makes us believe that since we copied this sheet from i2, it probably has the same issue. Double click to be back in paper space. Bask in the beauty of our furniture plans.
I think they look really good. Go back to our i2 tab. There is that demo sync there.
We'll double click to activate viewport, which is model space. Then we'll go to layer. We want to freeze that pfixed exist, but not the regular freeze.
We want the VP freeze. It'll freeze just in this viewport. Not the exist.
We want the demo right above it. There we go. It is gone.
We'll double click outside of there. Zoom extends. That looks good.
Back to i4 and it's a perfect time to save.
