And I've left it in the same layout tab that we were in at the end of the last video, where we set up our viewports and our scale of our viewports. So you'll notice, in the bolting plate plan view, in the ISO A3 landscape layout, we can't really see our dimensions very well. This is where we need to use what they call annotation scaling or annotative scaling as it's sometimes known as well. So what we need to do there, is make sure that our dimensions are annotative and that they apply to the view port scale that we've set. So this particular view port, if I hover over it, you can see there, the standard scale is one to 10. So we need use that one to 10 viewport scale and relate it back to our annotation scale. To do that, we need to jump back to the model tab like so. I'm going to zoom out slightly, so that we can see everything in the model space. And what I'm…
