It's called 'Geometry_PRECISION.dwg'. And as usual, you can download that from the library to follow along with the videos in this particular section. Now, just before we get started, I just want to give you a quick heads up about geometry and precision. Take a look at the drawing when you open it and you'll notice it opens in the 'model' tab. You can see the circles there, with some center lines and some radial dimensions. So you've got a radius of 500 and a radius of 250. You'll also notice a small circle, a little red circle, sort of down towards the middle of the screen there. Now that circle is at a specific coordinate in the coordinate system, in AutoCAD.
