[@alexnoussi1146]

By far. 😂

[@arthurramosdemouracoutinho2324]

exactly what i was looking for. thanks!

[@jeyranrahman]

Do you have a short way to usw continue dimension command with for example if we wanna copy we wright copy on command keyboard like that

[@alexnoussi1146]

You're among my Best AutoCAD Professor. I can't believe I understand more from Around the globe teachers than the ones in school...😔 But all is well.😁

how do you change decimal places on lines it shows 4 decimal places everythime i draw a line but i want only one number lets just say i m drawing a line 39.5 cm but its shows as 39.4928

[@davidhoran3868]

Hi, go to your Dimension Style. Select the Primary Units Tab. In the Linear Dimensions column set the drop down box next to Precision to 0.0

[@iulias1842]

hello, i don`t find extension. even if i enter a number, the dimension are not equally distributed

[@balak1263]

the dim font is so crisp. which font is using your dim sir?

[@CADinblack]

Font name: "Bahnschrift Light SemiCondensed"

[@thisisbasedonatruestory]

How do I get a space between the OBJ and the dimension lines? Mine always touch

[@c0v3r2m4]

I failed an exam because of the dimension lines 3 days ago... this is really useful !

[@CADinblack]

Next time you will pass for sure! :)

[@JanardhanPrasadDVS]

Thank you very much for your excellent video program.

[@danielteyehuago1633]

Thanks for your sharing it with us. This is a great tutorial and very informative. dl

[@HindricksAriola]

Can you make a tutorial to how to properly size the text with regards to the paper size

[@rs_perspective4933]

Hello sir, all ur videos r very much useful to me, I had issue in dimensions, when I select two points to measure it ends up showing zero as the distance between the points but the actual distance is highter than zero. Pls explain us to get rid of this issue-thank u sir

[@CADinblack]

Probably that is related with the precision you set up! For example if your dimension is 0.123; and you set the precision without decimals it displays zero. Go to dimension style manager -> primary units. Hope it helps

[@J10TV]

@@CADinblack that is true

[@Kim-qc9pz]

Hello. What is the font style of your dimension? Ty

[@phatlong1720]

THANK YOU.

[@grewynthelights]

In my case, specifying typing command box didn't show up sometime. Is there any other way to enable this feature?

[@CADinblack]

Do you have the dynamic input turned on? Go to the bottom/right corner of the status bar > click on 3 bar button > click on Dynamic Input > turn Dynamic input ON. Thanks for watching.

[@grewynthelights]

@@CADinblack yes, i do already turned it on. and it works perfectly while drawing lines. On the downside, I couldn't draw rectangles in exact length and width as this dynamic box didn't appear. Since i've been installing AutoCAD MEP 2020, I'm experiencing different interfaces.

[@ismaelpaulodossantos6501]

How font you using in dimensions texts?

[@hariindharto5953]

Thank you so much

[@oantrancong2121]

What font is that?

[@lokeshsai3691969]

Your accent remainds me of the virtual audio with the same accent😁

[@CADinblack]

Hehe. Thanks for watching Lokesh Sai!

[@alenmalcic2870]

how you set up automatic space between dimension and drawing, your dimension do not touch the drawing?

[@CADinblack]

Go to Dimension Style Manager. menu LINES -> Extension Lines panel -> Offset line from origin.

[@alenmalcic2870]

​@@CADinblack Thank you so much, sir :)

[@UNKnown.MH.]

Can you tell my what font do you use?

[@quiang382]

Font chữ đỉnh quá. Có qi biết này là font gì không nhỉ

[@federicoschembri4284]

Font please???

[@murahk123]

Can’t you just change the “Offset from Origin” in the dim style so that it applies to all your dimensions in that style? I feel like that would be more efficient instead of having to type 500 all the time.

[@CADinblack]

Hello Murahk. Good question. Offset from origin is a bit different. It's basically the spacing from your selected points to the baseline. With the way I showed on the video, the baseline lengths are all the same. Of course, there are several ways to make dimension lines in the project, you just need to find what you prefer. When I mean "professionally" I am referring to find your standard way and then apply it in your projects. In this video I basically shared some ideas to accomplish that, I didn't mean we should apply them all. For example, some drafters don't like to have baselines far from the walls, and in that case an "offset from origin" is more suitable. Hope it helps. Have a good day!

[@alschroeder1724]

Doing the dimensions and text in paper space saves the hassle of annotative scaling, and allows referening the file without having to freeze layers in the file that it is referenced in. annotative scaling never made sense; Paper space was created to do "paper work stuff" text, notes, dimensions etc. . Also in my drafting room, extension lines that far from the object I'd fire you on the spot, can lead to confusion in more complex objects, such as a piping layout, or a architectural floor plan.

[@alanOHALAN]

yes i agree

[@arifshama718]

Just offset the line and then place there instead of typing again nd again

[@gigabytedenise]

too much time using dimension just set your grid spacing to 500 mm or what you desire and use grid on /off when you are not dimensioning .. you're welcome!

Dumb

That doesn’t look professional at all man
