Couple of questions

I'm using R14 for industrial maintenance on my PC. Here are my questions:

1. (see separate thread)

2. (see separate thread)

3. I am only able to plot to A2 (8.5" x 11") paper, so how can I enlarge my DIM's so that they are ledgible when the drawing is scaled to fit on the page? For example, I had to draw a 93" door frame opening so I could plan for replacing double bifold doors with three standard pre-hung doors, and needed to calculate the stud spacing, etc. When I zoomed on the screen, everything was ledgible & fine, but when I plotted to my A2 paper, I needed a magnifying glass to read the dims. I tried editing the DIM text, but was limited to what it would accept, and it was not readable.

Thanks!!

in regards to question 3: Have you got your dimstyle text height set up to the right size?

Guess I must be even lower on the scale than "Newbie", cause I've never even heard of the "DIMTXT" command before, but I just tried it and it sure works great!!

Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge so quickly and so freely!!

No probs, an welcome to cadtutor arden

Don't worry about being a "newbie". We weren't born with an innate knowledge of AutoCAD. Anyway, if you're serious about CAD it becomes a life-long learning process. I learn new things about AutoCAD almost every day.

aaarrgghh - this is going to be one messy thread!

Arden - so that posters don't give confusing answers, and so threads are searchable after they are complete, we like separate questions to have their own threads

(let's see if I can split this one up sensibly for you )

There we go - all sorted
