Different Dimension Scales On Same Project

Recommended Posts

So you have your dimension style already setup? Things like location and orientation of dimension text, arrow size/style (probably tick marks in your case), and options that control dimension and extension lines, etc.?

 

Just curious. Will you be plotting directly from model space or making use of a layout and viewport?

Plotting, printing whatever you wish to call it is still hard copy output.

 

Will you be printing your drawing from model space or from a layout?

 

Note: Our company blocks access to tinypic so I have not seen any of your jpg files.

Let's back up a sec.

 

Do you have any training or experience what-so-ever in AutoCAD?

 

Do you have any training or experience in manual drafting?

Not yet. I'm switching my major this spring or next fall. I used acad back in highschool but i don't remember much from it.

Now I kind of understand why our communication has been so difficult.

 

I apologize, haha. Like i said, if you think it may be easier to show me how to dim this thing, i can share my screen with you either via skype if you have it on work pc OR via web browser...

How about I send you a PM with my email address and you respond via email with a copy of your drawing attached?

 

No Skype here. Used to have it on home computer but my friend came back from China so I got rid of it.

i didn't touch anything else...

 

 

:lol:

 

Forgive me but that has to be the funniest thing I've read possibly all year. Tell me you weren't being serious when you wrote that. You weren't, right?

 

 

:shock: I agree 100%...... that is too damn funny!!!! I really hope he was kidding...
