Autocadstudent Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 hello spen1973, Remark and Armydude2211, am starting to do this olesom village. the booklet says set the units to reflect decimals to hundreadth of a foot, and set direction to surveyor's unit. I set the type to decimal, presicion to 0.0000, type to surveyor's. then set limits to 0,0 and 10000000,10000000 for upper-r corner. But when i try to place a 113.66 feet line from the bench mark or from any point i can't see the line, it ask for the next point and the next point . i noticed that when i place a random line it shows 7 digits. do you know what am doing wrong? Please Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car5858 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 You are not doing something wrong. Since the drawing limits are so large, the 113' line may appear as a point. Draw a line 113.66 as the instructions state. Use the green crossing window and select everything on the screen. You should see the blue grips appear. Zoom in on the grips and you will find your line. Remember this plat map is a large drawing. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocadstudent Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you car5858, I did zoom in and i can see the line now. so i should not zoom all because i wont be able to see the lines right? Thank you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 It was a mistake of Penn-Foster to have the student set limits so large at the onset of the assignment. This causes unnecessary problems like the one you have encountered. Even if your limits were 1000,1000 AutoCAD would still be able to draw beyond them as it knows no bounds.

djrupley Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I am working on the olsen village project and I am kind of stuck, but I would like to get your input on if im headed in the right direction. I'm trying to upload my project but it isn't letting me attach it. How could I get help with that problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
