Our last step for our schedule sheet is to update the notes section. So in AutoCAD, we're going to zoom into this general notes section. And over in our sheet notes document, we want to scroll to page 9, our I3 finished schedule notes.
So let's go ahead and highlight finished schedule notes, and we'll copy that. Control C. And then in general notes, we'll double click, highlight all that, and we will paste. Control V. Now let's grab all of the content here, items number 1 through 9, copy those, and paste it over here.
And before we paste it, we'll delete absolutely everything, and then paste. All right, that looks pretty good. It's a little bit jumbled though, we have more room to work with.
So let's get this cleaned up. I will select both blocks again, and M for move. I'll click one time, and with ortho turned on, I'm going to move them 2.5 inches to the left.
And now I can select them one by one and stretch them back to the right. So I'll start with finished schedule notes. There's a, after selecting that note, there is a little blue right arrow.

I will click one time and move it to the right. This part I can kind of eyeball until I see it says ortho 2 inches. So I'll click there.
That looks pretty good. Now grab the rest of this block, grab that right arrow, click one time, and move it to the right 2 inches. And that is looking really good.
Now we need another block of notes here. Let's first select all of this, and we'll move it down, and we'll move it down so it's a little more even with our schedule. We'll just go down one inch.
Now we'll select it again and do CO to copy. I'll click and drag it straight down, and let's copy this down. We'll do 7 inches.
There we go, and hit escape. Now over in our document, we're going to scroll down, keep scrolling down to page 11, our door schedule notes. We'll grab that, control C, change the name to door schedule notes down here, select our content, control C, double click in this content block, delete everything, and then paste in our new content.
Alright, and that looks good. I might just want to move that down a little bit further so it matches up with our door schedule. Let's move it down 1.5 inches, and there we go.
That looks awesome. Congrats on making it here. We are now all the way through our i3 schedules sheet.
