Brandon here back with another new video!

In today's video we are taking a look at how to create a new dimension style that shows both Imperial and Metric dimensions at the same time

This method of creating new styles can be used for a ton of useful tweaks to how dimensions are shown in our drawings, saving a ton of time in general.

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

Great Tip Brandon. I've used this in the past. Not often used as the various municipalities want either or, not both. They say it's too confusing. Go figure. Cheers.

On one of my drawings each dimension is not joined together, in other word, the arrows, the dimension lines, the number and the extension lines are all separate. When you select the dimension to erase it, it only erases the part of the dimension that you select, so you have to select each arrow, dimension line, extension line and number to erase it. Also you can not select the dimension to stretch it or shorten it you will only move the end point of the extension line. How do I fix this?
