Help for customized dimensions

[tismasul]

Hi everyone, I need to make my dimension to look the same as in the picture. I'm stuck in dimension styles. I dont know if I can do this in 2007 version.

 

Thanks a lot

Are you referring to the font that's being used or the elevation symbol below the elevation itself or both?

 

Where did you get the picture from?

[tismasul]

I got the picture from a friend for who I am drawing the project, but he does not know autocad.

 

I got only this far. As you can see I have no + or - in front of them, the numbers are above and not on the right, I have no short line on the right and no line under the black datum triangle.

 

And there is another thing, I do not know how to set the coordinates for the house to get the -50 for example nor the -+ 0 .

 

Thanks

I think you are probably best using the qleader command, if you aren't already and then just editing you text to say what you need it to say.

As far as getting your co-ords set your datum to point 0,0,0 on the drawing and then work from there.

Another option would be to make the arrow portion a block and the elevation an attribute. When the block is inserted you'll be prompted for the value of the attribute. Something like this:

have a go with this.

 

 

 

You may need to explode it first.

Nice dynamic block there Mr. Steve.

Thanks ReMark,

 

But I have just noticed that tismasul is using 2007.

I think Dyn blocks came into action in 2008.

I thought so too Steve but my AutoCAD 2007 User's Guide says otherwise. refer to Chapter 20 page 457 - Add Dynamic Behavior to Blocks.

Ohhhh! Sweet.
