line length settings

You will need to save the image first, I usually use the PrtScr option open PAINT and paste the image, then save it to my pictures folder. Then as ReMark said go to the "Go Advanced" option but I found that you need to attach the image which is a bit different, if you click on the attachments button then "add file" - "choose files" browse to your file and select it then you can upload it onto your post.

Try clicking on the Paperclip icon. Then at the next screen click on +Add Files. I'm sure you can figure out the rest of it from there.

Is there a question you want to ask?

 

What template file did you use?

 

Attach a copy of your drawing (DWG) file to your next post. Someone here will take a look at it.

 

Do us a favor. Type the following at the command line just as it is shown then press Enter.

Look at your command line. Where it says Unit for length what number appears there? It should be a number 1 thru 6.

after choosing an acadiso for metric and setting the units for length to architecture and inches and precision to 0' 01 /16''' as you said

mine line is as small as a dot for @4

big enough line.the problem perplexing me here is is it just a zoom problem

or it is about mine unit settings?.i think this time i expressed the problem

clearly.

[ReMark]

Yes, you expressed it clearly.

 

Now let me do the same.

 

You used the wrong template. It is not a good idea to use a metric style template then turn around and specify imperial "architectural" units. Likewise, it would not be a good idea to start with an imperial style template and specify metric units. One should try to avoid these types of conditions as it will only cause confusion for the user and frustration for anyone he/she may share the drawing with. If you require both imperial and metric dimensions to appear on a drawing there is a much better way to do so.

 

Have I made myself clear?

 

If you want to ultimately dimension a drawing in feet and inches (architectural units) then start a new drawing using the acad.dwt template. I'm pretty sure I have said this more than once in this thread. Please follow my advice.

i made it architectural ,precision 0'-01/16'' and the units inches but it is

still too small

it's right you've said it in the first page.the problems has been solved and unfortunately it was a simply one.this time i succeed it,i have a ultimately long line with architectural inches on acad.thanks for everything.
