hey…really i interested in tis articles..if tere’s no matter i wanna hae an autocad’s residentials project..(plans,elevations,sections) anyting like that…and i’d be so glad ..
thanks alot

I´m working in metric units, but occasionally I incert inches in my drawings, do you know how put Imperial units in a metric draw… just introducing ” or ‘ after a value?
Example: I’m in metric units, and I need to put a 3 inches line, so i just write 3″ in my command line when ask for the line value and voila! draw a 0.0762 line.
Some time ago, in my previus job i saw that… and i don’t have idea how activate it… do you know how?

Thanks and best regards!

Hello.

Well I do have a heavy load of questions, but I am going to start with the simplest one…Lets say that I want to draw an industrial warehouse, and I do have to draw both columns and connections, as well as details, so if my understanding of your previous article ( the one dealing with scales)..is correct and 1 drawing unit= 1 mm, if I have a structural column measuring 4.00 mts ( 4,000 mm), I´ll type a mline with a 4,000 input…but what about the text height….and also I have read the help files regarding the so called ” annotative” …But I still do not understand that concept at all..( Like if I am going to used it in modelspace or in paperspace…well ..

Thanks for your time in advance professor Toker

Well thanx for answering my question, but well there´s another couple of questions…altough I´ve been reading several books related to autocad, when it comes to scale and units both dimensions and text…well I got very confused..but ok let´s get to the point…. I do have to print this out in 900 X 600 mm paper…I did draw the columns and the connections at the same scale ( in model space), but the details as well as the text related to this details must be bigger than the text and dimensions for both columns and connections ( or do I have to scale them all in paper space), so regarding of my regrets for not paying enough attention to my drafting classes several years ago when I was in college…can you give me any advice for this issue….

Again thank you very much in advance for your time again professor Orhan

Modelspace and scaling are the most important concepts any new autocad user should clearly and deeply undestand.  Solid comprehension of this subject helps a newbie use autocad easier and faster. This is an excellent post.
