So what I'd like you to do now is go and find your AutoCAD drawing that you've downloaded from the library. In this case it is 00_Ground Floor.dwg. You can see the name of it there at the top of my AutoCAD screen. Now, if you're downloaded that drawing from the library, just open it up in AutoCAD and you should get this view here in the model space.
