When the New dialog box pops up enter the value of 240 pixels for width and 720 pixels for height, then click 'OK'. It all depends upon the size of the blueprint, as we may have to change the dimension for other blueprints. Make sure that it fits almost perfectly in the new document.
• Now just press 'Ctrl + V' to paste the front view into the new document and save it as an image file in hard disk.
