Brandon here back with another new 2 minute tuesday!

In todays video take a look at another heavily googled and asked question for AutoCAd. How to Add Dimensions!

In the video I walk you through the basics of making, adding and working with dimensions in AutoCAD. I've kept this one quick and straight to the point but if you have any questions you'd like to see covered, be sure to let me know and we can expand on dimensions some more.

Oh and let me know what autocad tip, trick or tutorial you'd like to see in the next one down below!

Cheers and thanks for watching

Hi, I am having issues... my dimensions are showing up but the numbers are not displayed, so it is just a line? How do I fix this

[wmcleod]

Super informative and very quick.

Loving your work!

[juliesmith]

Thank you! Good basic instructions and a few that I’ll start using! Boom:)

How do you get your diameter dimensions to have two arrows?

[flipc]

Ripping my hair out with Auto CAD Web. Every video on youtube shows ppl with full versions. My dimension lines display in inches and I need feet. There is no way I can find that will change the added dimension to display, lets say 12'. Displays 144". Annoying and may just cancel my subscription. Only need to generate blueprints once in a blue moon so buying full version isn't happening.

Just learning AutoCAD and in dimensioning, I cannot get the diameter dimension line to span the width of the diameter as you show in your video. I’ve gone into settings to see what I can change, but to no avail. It always shows as a small leader, then arrow to the edge. Can you suggest new settings somewhere? Thanks

How to Change Dimension Unit If We Want To Change it

This was very good. I am a newbee and installed AutoCAD 2022. I was following some online tutorials. I was doing well until yesterday I used Dimension Styles. I noticed DIM-25 was there and today it is gone. It was there with Annotated and Standard. Now gone? Is this easy to recover?

[MathuCampbell]

what if im not seeing the dimensions text pop up? I am only seeing the line. no text at all

[Delando_Cissie]

I am watching and following your channel from Liberia. I checked the link you mentioned but I was told it’s not available in my country.
Can you fix that for me cus I really want to improve my drafting skills please 🙏

hello, I having problem with the arrows as they're too small. How to fix it?

[MrDennisrsjr]

Why would dimensions not reflect the true length? I have a 22 foot wall showing as 1' 10"

[Mitch-uywy]

How do I space the dimensions from the object so they are all at the same spacing?

[kasozibrian]

My dimensions are not clear the figures are not working out properly

[archigo]
