    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 gotta know did you figure it out? And how is the design going?

      @@edwardgreenlee3571 I will love to help you with your design and help you to understand how to add the dim lines if you agree, in change I would love you to explain me how to use your scales, because I´m an architech from México so we use different scales but now I´m living in Atlanta so I need to learn 1 or 2 tips

      @@artemisarios141 Way back when, I used an architects ruler, which has several scales, which is set to inches per foot. So 1/4" scale equaled 1 foot. I assume Mexico is metric. Hope that helps. Right now I have no time to spare with Autocad, until later this summer.

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

    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.

    I am working with Auto CAD drawings at work that are from a consultant that were not drawn at 1:1 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 1:10. 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 1:4 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 1:1 in model space.

    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
