I've known about annotative dims and txt for years but never knew how to use them until this video. Thank you!

Very useful man. Thanks! If you haven't learnt already. After setting up the first dimension of the three in your model you could have:

- Select your first dimension _(to tell CAD which properties you want to match)_
- Typed the command *"MA"* 'match properties' _(to apply the command)_
- Clicked the other two dimensions _(to tell CAD which items you want to apply the properties to)_
- And hit enter to end the command.

Which would save you the time of always applying the add scales through properties to each dimension.

Thanks for the AutoCAD tutorial sir. I've watched your whole Autocad series. It has been quite useful for me. It would be great if u add all your AutoCAD tutorials to a playlist. This way we don't have to go back every time to play the next video. Could u make a similar tutorial for Ansys in the future?
