    Default Another ProgeCad Question - dimensions?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Per SLW210's recommendation, I've downloaded progeCAD 2008.

    One simple question I have is this:

    How do I determine the dimensions of my drafts? I don't understand how to interpret the info on the left hand side. I'm trying to make patterns that will print out about the size of a human foot. So I'm trying to measure everything in inches or cm.

    Thanks

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    Since this is a ProgeCad question, I have moved your post to the Design Software section. I don't know how many members actually use this program though. You might want to see if you can find a ProgeCad forum.

    Mostly do drafting related to manufacturing. From doing site layouts with proposed updates, additions and renovations to be budgeted and submitted for bid, to updating and changing existing drawings to reflect maintenance and repair/revision work done on site.

    If this can wait till Monday I will see if I can help you more. Not sure what you are referring to. Click at the top where it says dimensions, select the type of dimension and click on where you want to dimension. For all others reading this, Progecad is pretty much the same as AutoCAd, so most advice will work for the 2.

    Leatherguy, if you will go through this Dimension Tutorial it may be all you need. All of the acad tutorials should help you in progeCAD.

    Thanks,

    Well basically I'm just trying to figure out how long a line is. If I draw a square or rectangle, for example. How do I tell that I'm drafting a 5" line and not a 6" line?
