As a preface, I must admit that I did not read the linked chapter.

 

If you execute the UCS command, use the OBject selection and choose the line/side you wish to dimension, it will set the UCS to that view. From there you can easily label.

 

Command: ucs

Current ucs name:  *WORLD*
Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis] 
<World>: ob

Select object to align UCS:

How do you do what?

 

Plot to monochrome or setup a CTB file that's all black/white.

do you see in the 2nd picture in the right how the lines are on top of the other? and not overlapping. I want to achieve that without having to trim. is it posible?

Maybe a WipeOut. Don't quote me on it, but I would say not without trimming.

I found that is very time comsuming trimming everything, plus if i was to turn off some layers, other parts of my drawing appear incomplete. There's gotta be a way around it! help!

 

I think we can do something with region+subtract and other commands, but i cant seen to make it work

thanks for everything guys.

is it in 3d, or isometric?

 

If it's isometric, do the trim command using "F" (fence).. (ie- select boundaries, and then when it says to select lines to trim, you type "F")

This permits you to draw line segments that will select trim points like a crossing window.

 

If it's 3d, try the Hide command.
