So not related to this video, but came across your channel/website while flipping through pinterest, but these videos and some of your free templates is exactly what I'm looking for! I just started working for a design business in its infancy and my boss is totally lost with how to organize files, market services, etc and is asking me to step up to help with some of this. She's an incredible design talent, but not very business savvy when it comes to the latest resources out there. Excited to learn from your videos and keep up the awesome work!

Thank you for the video. I am currently trying to figure this out by using inches instead of the 1:1 scales. Shouldn’t the process be the same? UPDATE: figured it out. Thank you again!

KIS principle, keep it simple, thanks. And thanks for talking a little slower and with larger images.

Hello Audrey! I used to work in centimeter an millimeters and I've been having problems to make (in inches) my dimensions in Annotation Scale. Do you have any video that explain that?
Thanks!!!

[IndieBassJA]

Thanks for this tutorial!! What purpose then does paper text height serve then if all it does is change/mess with your desired annotation scale for any given drawing?

We are expecting if you guide for settings of dimensions, text, and leader.

Probably a dumb question but is there a way to set more than one annotative text? For example: one that would show a normal text size of 1/8”, a second of 1/4”for “Titles”, and maybe even a third of 1/10” for details under a normal dimension?

Hello... I am greatful of you... Your tutorials are always clear and precise... I have been following your videos and have learnt a lot... I have a question though...
I am learning AutoCAD... I had all my dimensions and leaders in annotative... I am finding it hard to have my drawings, in multiple viewports on a paper with different scales... When scaling, all annotative scale sizes on the dimensions and leaders are showing in the viewports on the layout... Help

more, more!!! :-))) we old CAD-folks...FORGET :-))) sub'd/liked

Why not just do your dimensions in paper space?

[qtpvfbo]

This was not helpful, You did not show how to set up an anno scales on drawings. I am more lost now then I was before I watched

Autocad just doesn't make sense. It is a problematic software that needs to be rewritten from scratch. Jesus.
