    Why the dimension is this big? My draw is in mm.

    I tried to change the dim scale but no success.

    Did you check your dimension style text height? Maybe you have a decimal point in the wrong place. I'd eliminate the door in the kitchen that leads to the sala.

    There are no counters or cabinets in your kitchen, no sink in the bathroom and there are no closets in the entire building. Have you forgotten something?

    hahaha...Thanks, but I'm just learning Autocad. This is just an exercise. Not a real house.

    Thanks, i think i got the answer. Dim Style > Modify > Fit > Use overall scale of [1]. I changed 1 to 0.1 and now it's not big. Am i right?

    Text height [2.5]

    If you want to change the text height, I would suggest that you select MODIFY in the DIMSTYLE MANAGER,
    then on the TEXT tab you will see the height setting.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.
