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.😁

Thanks Janoos for the comment. I am grateful this works for you!

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

Next time you will pass for sure! :)

[@Kim-qc9pz]

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

[@joescugoza5486]

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

[@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

[@shakoorah1]

thank you for this helpful understandable video. good work

[@schevoshelby1161]

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

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

[@CADinblack]

Font name: "Bahnschrift Light SemiCondensed"

[@iulias1842]

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

[@oantrancong2121]

What font is that?

How to re size dimension style

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@nonikwijayanti9669]

Excuse me, what font did you use on that dimension?

[@CADinblack]

"Bahnschrift Light SemiCondensed"

Can you tell my what font do you use?

[@CADinblack]

Hello. Fonts should be edited in Text style settings. There you can choose from lots of fonts to use. This one is: "Bahnschrift Light SemiCondensed"

[@muhnurfauzi_19_xibkp32]

@@CADinblack thank you Sir

[@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!

[@federicoschembri4284]

Font please???

[@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!

That doesn’t look professional at all man
