AutoCAD Basics - Annotative Dimensions (must watch - very useful for printing!)

In this video I explain how annotative dimensions works.
They are great when we print a drawing with viewports in different scales.

Basically, the sizes that we edit in the dimmension style manager, are exactly what will be in the paper when we print.

Contents:

-Edit annotative dimensions
-Create a special layer for dimension lines (command DIMLAYER)
-Draw annotative dimension lines
-scale 1:100
-scale 1:30
-Show and hide annotation objects

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post :).
