Example.

1. Open / New file

2. check UNIT

3. make LAYERS

4. insert a RASTER IMAGE

5. check DISTANT

6. SCALE the raster image

7. draw LINES between point

on the dimension of the raster image

8. check DISTANT and re-SCALE the raster image

9. starting drawing LINES at the previous start point

10. draw center lines on the center layer

11. draw walls (line, offset, move, copy, etc) on the wall layer

11. edit lines (trim, extend, fillet, etc)

12. draw doors, windows, and openings (line → circle, arc → trim) on the each layer

13. draw furnitures (line, rectangle, circle, insert blocks, etc) on the furniture layer

14. place patterns on the pattern layer

15. type texts and dimensions

16. save and plot

Example.
