In the Line and Arrows sub-dialog of the Dimension Style Manager dialog Lineweights were set to 0.3 (p. 81). If these lineweights are to show in the drawing area of AutoCAD 2009, the Show/Hide Lineweight button in the status bar must be set ON. 2. Dimensions can be added to drawings using the tools from the Annotate/Dimensions panel, from the Dimension toolbar, or by entering dim, followed by abbreviations for the tools at the command line. 3. It is usually advisable to use osnaps when locating points on a drawing for dimensioning. 4. The Style and Angle of the text associated with dimensions can be changed during the dimensioning process. 5. When wishing to add tolerances to dimensions it will probably be necessary to make new settings in the Dimension Style Manager dialog. 6. There are two methods for adding text to a drawing – Single Line Text and Multiline Text. 7. When adding Single Line Text to a drawing, the Return key must be used and not the right-hand mouse button. 8. Text styles can be changed during the process of adding text to drawings. 9.

AutoCAD fonts can only be added in the single format. 11. To obtain the symbols Ø; ; °; % use %%c; %%p; %%d; %%% before the figures of the dimension. 12 Text spelling can be checked with by selecting Text/Edit… from the Modify drop-down menu, by selecting Spell Check… from the Text control panel, or by entering spell or sp at the command line.Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.
