Perfect. Tutorial outlines what to do to get started using a simple, useful example. Narrator speaks slowly and deliberately. I had no problems understanding. Well done.

This tutorial is very helpful but please show how you drew the other rooms from 7:50, thanks.

[@greenranger3441]

Exactly

[@cowesweek20091]

When I type 8000mm for that top wall on the plan, the line goes well off the page. Is there any way to scale the whole page so that when I move the cursor the measurement increases in greater amounts.

[@CADinblack]

Hi +Jeff Smith ! I am not sure if I understood your question but when you draw a line that goes off the page, you can type: "Z" (zoom) and then "A" (all). By doing this you will see all your drawings. Try that

[@aienhance]

I faced the same problem too. It happens because you have used the command "line" instead of "Poly Line". Try typing PL and then add the value, i hope it solves the problem. :)

[@cowesweek20091]

Thank you Pal! That has indeed solved my problem.

Jeff Smith Autodesk Auto CAD 2018 Basic: kzbin.info/aero/PLQKesPv0xm-kXCiFYmYo3TDEo9kobwf-P

[@binodgurung4459]

Jeff Smith, it may be due to the grid spacing. By default, we have grid spacing 0.50 but we can change it to 10 as lie in the video 3:33 min.

[@anand4236]

Very Detailed and good explanation sir

[@atchupboret2781]

nice bro thanks.......

[@rockympembamoto1289]

ITS HELPFUL, VERY PRECISE.

[@MegaTyrabanks]

When I draw my exterior wall line I go to type the length I want it in millimetres however it doesn't appear?

[@BSania]

How did you draw the rest of the walls inside. My line tool does not allow me to start drawing from where ever I want, it only shows those midpoints and endpoints as start points and does not show straight lines up or down, only to those midpoints etc. I don't get it.

[@subramaniankannan5834]

Hi. This is a very helpful video but which template did you use???

Lovely demonstration 👍🏾

thanks.your way in explaining very very clear

[@CADinblack]

I am glad you like it :). You are welcome

[@Goolesy]

my grid would come up as large boxes, i only was able to make it match yours by making the grid spacing (.10) instead of (10)

[@irshadahmed1798]

sir it was very useful.. i want to know in any plan how much distane we have to take between two exterior wall

[@naijukaosbert2388]

Thank you very much for the video

[@isobodidi8685]

A very great video, but please this offset is confusing me and i have not been able to get it done, how did you know that the thickness of your wall is 300? please someone should help.

[@bigmann8932]

can you tell us the distance instead of typing them off silently cuz I downloaded the image it's not clear

[@vijaybharath33]

GREAT VIDEO BRO,,, KEEP DOING

[@pepperboxgaming1454]

useful and helpful thanks bruh.

[@ajaym5661]

very helpful for me thank u very much

[@Iona_b]

When I type in the measurements for the floorplan @50'31 etc it becomes huge even when I zoom out it's not the same shape as yours - do you know what i am doing wrong?

[@arunbisht6122]

yes i knw

[@raviratnala9536]

first click some place then type @20',20' and enter then you get proper output

[@arunbisht6122]

Click mouse middle button twice

[@Wallaby1963]

YOU EXPLAIN IN A WONDERFUL WAY. THANKS S MUCH

[@CADinblack]

Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad it helped you!

[@Milanistcheto]

how did u have that box to write specific measurements ? i havent that one on my AC

[@IgorGeek123]

when i specify the lenght of my line and click, it makes the line with the size of my click and not the number I typed. why?

[@CADinblack]

Hi +BMO. When you type a length, you have to press enter instead of clicking.

[@footring1]

great video, but i find it faster to press space instead of enter which works the same way

[@AwaisMirza1]

good video

[@CADinblack]

Thanks +Awais Mirza :)

[@RafaSyed]

I did everything what you did but when I Commanded PL > draw a line > set length to 8000, the length of the line was out of the display. And then I zoom in and out by scrolling the mouse wheel but still could not find the line's endpoint. Please Help!

[@CADinblack]

Hi +Rafa Syed. Try typing "Z", press enter and then type "A". You should see everything you draw in that file. That is a very common issue for Autocad users. Does it work?

[@RafaSyed]

Hello, thank you so much, it worked well. do you have any playlist for cad beginner users?

[@CADinblack]

Yes. If you are new in AutoCAD, this videos should be good for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5msh5p_h8uAma8

[@MissAwa515]

[@nicholas8479]

I haven't used AutoCAD in over 20 years, so I appreciate your tutorial. I'm trying to draw a detailed floor plan with MS Paint, but it's very difficult. I'm looking for a free, simple 2D CAD program that can create groups and has osnap commands like you demonstrated. Can anyone recommend one?

[@CADinblack]

Hello Nicholas. I am glad that you liked my tutorials. I don't know any program about 2D CAD for free, but I guess it exists. Maybe you can try Sketchup. It is 3D and is for free.

[@nicholas8479]

Thank you for responding. I am using a program called DraftSight and so far I like it.

[@annapasierska5649]

Hi, in 6:45 minute of your video you start to draw inside rooms. You start drawing by hovering mouse pointer over the point till become a green cross and then you write the value of 4250 and your line starts to appear from right distance. Sometimes I can draw a line from right point but many other times my line appears in a thousand different places and I don't know what I am doing wrong? I am using DraftSight but it is a very similar program. Please tell me if you know?

[@CADinblack]

Hi +Anna Pasierka. For cases like this, you have to make sure the there is a green dashed line and the label extension there. Sometimes, it doesn't work if you have some offset points active, for example nearest. Sometimes when I zoom in a lot the drawing, and I try to do this, the offset is highlights midpoints or endpoints instead of the extension. So my solution, is to deactivate temporarily the modes you don't need, or you can draw temporary lines for support to your drawing. I don't know DraftSight, but if it is similar try to do this I told you above. good luck
