16-2. LINEAR Dimension in AutoCAD

LINEAR Dimension - Rectangular (Orthogonal)  Dimension sizes in AutoCAD


Command entry dimlinear ina AutoCAD

Command for a rectangular dimension reads DIMLINEAR. We start by clicking the button on the toolbar Linear DIMENSIONS, or with a text menu Dimensions => Linear and we can also over command line prompt.

When I say squarely that means listing at an angle of  90 degrees. So vertically or horizontally.

Before you run this command I advise you to activate the function button OSNAP mod. It is also advisable to make your STYLE DIMENSIONS (for that see no link. 8 Dimensions Style).
REQUIRED for style dimensions (line quotation) create a new style with a particular color.

Once you start you need to click the first point and then another point and dimensions with the mouse away from the line drawings in the appropriate place.

If you want to continue to be quoted on IMMEDIATELY after the third step, click on the button CONTINUE command and the following points. The final result is a quotation in a row.

If you want to be quoted above the elevation datum then use the button command BASELINE after the first set dimensions

If you want to move dimensions line then simply select and grab the bridle on the number of dimensions, so you want to move.
If you want more options for editing dimensions then click double click on the datum that you open the PROPERTIES and change it as you wish.

If you want to further edit the elevation then use two buttons for editing, which is located on the Toolbar Dimension.

15-13a. AutoCAD Export Coordinates Points to CSV

How to Export Coordinates of Points Using LISP to AutoCAD Since this web tutorial is intended for beginners, here I will describe how to export Coordinates for specific points in the drawing. Take for example that the drawings have points that are set to specific coordinates (this is quite used in geodesy, but mostly  MAP CAD programs  and some already have built-in  LISP  Export programs). In the picture below, notice that I have created several points on the desktop. Note that with the cursor I have an extra cloud with the coordinate position if I click on the position where the cursor is currently located. (this cloud can be switched on/off at the  DYN  button (dynamic input) How to use LISP? To use this option ( export coordinates to CSV file ), a file that has the extension ' * .lsp ' is used. This so-called scripted code needs to be copied to the "some" folder. Usually this is the  AutoCAD folder  that contains other files with...

24d. Plot in Color Thickness Lines

How to Plot in Color and Thickness of Lines on printed paper in AutoCAD. If you probably have a problem with the  Thickness Line  (not to say the width of the line because some use this expression) on the drawing or the  Color Line  on the drawing. If you are asking any of the following questions: Why are all the lines of the same thickness? How to change the thickness of the line on the drawing we print to the printer (plotting on the plotter)? AutoCAD does not print Color on the drawing? Why these questions? Well there is reason. Print black and white drawings are done over pre-prepared  CTB file  (also in color). To have the lines do not look like a toe, you need to experiment with the thickness of the line. If you want to print a drawing Floor plan of a building and you want to distinguish it from outer walls of interior, portions of drawings that display windows, doors and the like. Then you will set different line thicknesses in the...

24c. Ucsfollow Command Rotate Drawing

Rotating Drawing MODEL in AutoCAD - Ucsfollow Command In the previous tutorial, I showed how to  Rotate the drawing within the Constituent/Component . Here is the possibility of Rotating the other way when Plotting Drawings. This method of Rotating images in Layout Model when plotting is often used in geodesy at plotting KCBR (particles) that copies of the cadastral plan, if the particles are bigger in size than A4 paper and can't fit into the framework of Model Layout. (eg, a plan was drawn at a scale of 1:2000 and we have plot on A4 paper, and " Plot scale " scale 1:1, in fact, we print it on paper dimensions are in scale 1:2000) That they would not plot on tracing paper A3 sometimes it is enough to rotate a drawing that plan and the rotation of the entire plan, a particle can be placed within the model. When rotating the drawing in  Layout Model/Paper  should bear in mind that the drawing in our real model does not rotate, no matter what we rotate conducted within ...
