Hi Jay. I moved. to Mac for AutoCAD LT 2024. I love your videos! They are very clear for most of the things that I am using. Can you tell me please how you start a line or polyline that is offset from an existing point? I cannot see how you did it in the tutorial. Thanks.

[ellenmusic]

Hi Jay, I just watched your 2-hour long tutorial, AutoCAD complete course for 2023 MAC. It was tremendously helpful. Thank you so much for creating it. One thing that was not covered and that I cannot find instructions for anywhere is how to add a scale bar to a layout. Is that not possible in AutoCAD?

[lizyryan]

YES! I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS! Thank you for all of your work.

[MrDizzle]

it's CMD+(whatever), control/shift doesn't do copy/paste unless you can change it. By far the best ACAD tutorial. I'm taking drafting at my local school. I have a mac at home where I'll be doing HW and I'll be learning on a Windows computer at school with ACAD 22. Should be interesting to say the least, lol.

[samb.]

It must be tough to do this over one big session, but It was very helpful.

[wm.schwartz]

At 17:58 the transcript reads "Terry" but should read, "Thirty."

[dmitryrodkin]

Спасибо тебе большое за то, что помог разобраться и помог начать работать в программе с удовольствием.🙏

[vilarinhosss]

dumbest of questions but when I insert a value for a poly line, rectangle or whatsoever, what do you press on your keyboard afterwards to confirm the value/set the line? because return key does nothing here on Cad 2024

[alexjacobsdesign]

Thank you so much for this video, Jay!! I was wondering if when we change the annotation scale in order to fix the appearance of dashed/zigzag lines and then regenerate - does that change the scale of the whole drawing? or it only affects those lines that are not straight?

[samb.]

Hey I went back over the last part of the video Standard Title Block, I notice when you put it the DATE, the actual date does not show up?

[sarasuomi]

Hod did you chance the object snap settings? I can only put it on or off and when I draw a line it will only attach to a corner not for exempel to a midpoint. Can it be different because I have AutoCAD 2024?

[enriquevenegas]

When I open the insetr block icon is in the CURRENT DRAWING option, if I click on recent is not there, only on current drawing and I can not delete it

[terrimateer]

please go over how to make sure the mid points show up thank you

Hello dont know If u can assist me, am also on a Mac, when ever I hover my tool commands it does not show the name of the toledo you know how this happened thanks

[tomaszwojciechowski]

Great job ! I'm starting my adventure with AC on Macbook. I've been working on Win for years, and now I'm giving up :( How can I change, for example, the color of the autorack vector or the auto-snap markers? There's probably some system variable, but I can't find it at all. Thank you very much for your help.

[samb.]

Workflow question: Working with other software I rarely have to click ESC or Return (You can either click out of things or hit space). Is there a trick to this or are you just used to it? For example, hitting return (to confirm something) then esc (to deselect) is killing me, especially since my right hand is on the mouse so it's done with my left hand.

[julianlanderos]

Hey great video so far! the stretching tool isn't allowing me to pull down as seen in your demonstration. Am i missing something in the process of evenly stretching down a section?

[enriquevenegas]

I have a huge problem, I am new to AutoCAD, I will soon graduate and I am learning as I go, trying to create a title block for when I am ready to Plot and I found one on line and clicked on it and it went straight into my DRAWING, I tried to purge it and it says THIS BLOCK DEFINITION CANNOT BE PURGE BEACUSE: IT IS INSERTED IN THE DRAWING, please help how do I get rid of it, everytime I open a new drawing it is in there, and I am trying to cretae my own or download one that suits my needs. How do I get rid of it ?

[quangkhaihuynh]
