I was a proffesional at AutoCAD, then i quit for 2 years and come back to this video😥

[@kennytaylor2738]

Me too! I have been on R14 for 25 years

I had to learn from basics due to work. it took alot of drawings and learning from errors, but now i feel abit comfortable modifying acad drawings. Being involved in pre engineering of a major project helps alot too.

i want to draw a line in reference to other lines. I want the line to be horizontal (parallel to all other of my horizontal lines) and i want it to be at a specific distance from another line (that it is parallel to). How do i do this? Autocad is very confusing in sketching when coming from solidworks

[@spypredator]

I couldn’t agree more.

[@bovan6348]

Did you find out?

[@shivpalpatine]

@@bovan6348 sorry i dont remember lol, only used autocad that one time.

[@tritrios]

Use offset,set the distance from the line, select the line and right click,the select any line for which you wanted parallel it will come

I am trying to insert a line with a specific dimension, but it never shows up after I press enter?

[@elizabethuwe6212]

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? Please share. Thank you

[@x.v3n0m.x]

@@elizabethuwe6212 I haven’t used Autocad in a while, but I believe it was due to being zoomed in too much for my specific dimensions. My professor wanted me to make an office layout, so my line dimensions had to be in feet. So i tried to insert a 20’ line but after i typed 20 and hit enter, nothing happened. After a lot of frustration I tried zooming out a lot and inserting the line again and it worked. So depending on the dimensions and units you’re using, zooming in/out on the x-y plane may help you. Pay attention to the coordinates before you specify the first point of your line. For example, if it reads a big number like 8.55E+20, you’ll likely have to zoom in a lot. And vice-versa for smaller numbers. I really hope this helps!

Nice sir

[@ondraefrancis8699]

How do I change the degrees into minutes and seconds?

[@himanshujangir5546]

how do u give the values in m or cm ??

[@CADinblack]

Hi Himanshu! It's more common to use millimetres rather than centimetres. To edit the units, type "UNITS" on the command bar, and it opens the Unit properties window.

[@oliviagracella94]

THANKYOU!!

[@johnsun2416]

How check dimension (length) of existing line?

[@CADinblack]

Hi John, thanks for watching. Click on the line with right button, go to quick properties, and you should see the length on the dialog.
