ReMark Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 So you have your dimension style already setup? Things like location and orientation of dimension text, arrow size/style (probably tick marks in your case), and options that control dimension and extension lines, etc.? Just curious. Will you be plotting directly from model space or making use of a layout and viewport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be plotting directly from model space or making use of a layout and viewport? should be default settings. This is what it looks like right now: http://i46.tinypic.com/145u89.jpg && i don't know what plotting means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Plotting, printing whatever you wish to call it is still hard copy output. Will you be printing your drawing from model space or from a layout? Note: Our company blocks access to tinypic so I have not seen any of your jpg files.

ReMark Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Let's back up a sec. Do you have any training or experience what-so-ever in AutoCAD? Do you have any training or experience in manual drafting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFitchguy07 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Let's back up a sec. Do you have any training or experience what-so-ever in AutoCAD? Do you have any training or experience in manual drafting? Not yet. I'm switching my major this spring or next fall. I used acad back in highschool but i don't remember much from it.

AFitchguy07 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Now I kind of understand why our communication has been so difficult. I apologize, haha.

ReMark Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 How about I send you a PM with my email address and you respond via email with a copy of your drawing attached? No Skype here. Used to have it on home computer but my friend came back from China so I got rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
