I was in architectural drafting in high school in 1977 when Autocad did not exist. I'm retired as a CPA but I'd like to spend some time with my first love of designing. Can you help an old geezer understand how you add the dimension lines? Designing my retirement home in the mountains.

I am working with Auto CAD drawings at work that are from a consultant that were not drawn at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> in Model Space, they use a Civil Engineering Scale. To further complicate things, they are not drawn to the scale that they are supposed to be at, and they are additionally scaled by the viewport. Furthermore , the drawing units are set to Decimal. I think I figured out that some of them, that were supposed to be 1" = 10', were drawn at 1/12 size, and the view port was set to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="70">1:10</a>. I was able to scale the drawing up to true size and set the view port to 1"-10" and it seems to work. One of the drawings has no dimensions on it and it don't know what the actual scale is. The Scale Bar, which is for 1"=40' measures out to 40" instead of feet, which is 1/12 size. But the Viewport is set to 1"-40'. If the drawing is already at 1"-40', shouldn't it be tiny in a 1"-40' view port? It takes up a good portion of the page. I have no idea what is doing on. I read that 1"-40" is a scale used for drawings done at a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="64">1:4</a> ratio, so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. This is the most confusing thing I have ever dealt with in my life. For the love of God, just draw everything at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> in model space.

What a CAD master I found after a long search. I wish you were a master in Revit as well. Keep up bro.

Greate. I learn so much.

Thank you. Can you please recommend how to make a clean and easy to use screen profile for floor plans drawings? (Sorry for my English)

Thank you again for the tips! The photos from your email are beautiful -- thank you for sharing those as well. I'm living vicariously through you right now as I sit CADDING around in my Kentucky basement.

Dude your a great instructor, ive only been in the industry for about 7 months. I use Revit mainly on a day to day but we use AutoCAD MEP as well. Loving the vids!

Hi guys, how to make Model Space and Layout Space always look like a "Print Preview"? -this way we can always see the actual output - without always going to Print Setting to preview how it looks

LINETYPE SCALES GIVE ME HEADACHES

Any contact details?
