Don't setup your dimension or text styles in model space. Always setup your styles in paper space. That way you won't be annoyed with the different scales you might be using in your project. If you want your dimensions to show in model space you can still use the CHSPACE command later. I use the CHSPACE command all the time for scaling dimensions, text, blocks, etc, between paper space and model space.
Would you please tell us what is the use of "by block" in AutoCAD I've searched it but not satisfy with anyone's answer. Please sir do reply on my comment here.
how do you get to the dialogue box in the first place??! So annoying when people dont explain things properly. Howe do you get to the DIMSTY box?? I keep typing and pressing ENTER...nothing happens!!
I wish you could use better" FIT" tab the one you said is not important and Use an overall scale button and scale accordingly the as required for drawing, we only need to fill text and arrow size as 2.5 mm or 3 mm etc if using metric units. That's the another way to work around.
On the Dimstyle Go to FIT tab Dont TICK on annotative Select "Use overall scale of:" and key in scale that you want.. Choose smaller number that your current use..
For me i use this setting Arrow size = 2.5 Extend beyond = 1.25 Offset from origin = 1.25 Text Height = 3 Text offset = 1.5 FIT tab: use overall sacle = same with your layout/viewport scale
Everytime I make a new drawing, the dimension styles I created are gone and all I have left is the default ones. Is there any way that I could save my new dimension style so that i can I still use it for my other drawings?
@@SidneiPoeta Drawings hold the dimstyle, not the program. If you make a .dwg and go from that one everytime you start a drawing, then you will have the dimstyle. More properly, save as a .dwt... Effectively the same as a .dwg, but, if saved with the rest of your .dwts, every time you make a new drawing from template, you will start the new drawing dialog in the correct folder so you can grab your .dwt. Alternatively, if you have already made a drawing and want to bring a dimstyle in, the easy way is to grab the dimension that you want the dimstyle from and CTRL+SHIFT+C (copy with basepoint) and then Ctrl+V (paste objects) that dimension into the current drawing. This will bring the dimstyle into that drawing.
Hi BA Have set up DIMSTYLE to this video yet did not get same results Example:_ Symbols& Arrows can not change Jog degrees from 315.0 to 45 like yours dim line in correct place yet no specs, arrows, or any thing else maybe one needs to do scale setup or what is one doing wrong RJ would appreciate feed back on matter
Why don't any videos talk about "naming conventions"? Assuming we all want to be professional and will be working in an environment where you have to deal with 100s of drawings, it would be good to have a system for naming. I just don't think "new dimstyle" would be descriptive enough, over many years and 1000s of drawings from a wide variety of sources. Certainly, firms would likely need more than one dimstyle. Oh well, maybe that is for another video.
I created a new dimstyle with my preferred settings and had the idea of going between the Standard and my preferred. When I created the new dimstyle it basically made my new style and Standard be the same. My new style had my settings but when I switched back to Standard the settings didn't revert back. Basically, I made Standard be updated to my settings. I do not understand why. Have you come across this?

@Genesis Davis thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

Why would you want to dimension in paper space?
I am 62 year old and started to use auto cad recently. Fantastic. Very clear and step by step detailed instructions. Millions of thanks, buddy
You are a true inspiration sir. Thanks for this comment
Very effective and simplified Tutorial for a beginner. Keep up the good work.Much thanks.
Mine turns out to look like a box after I did all the things u did in the video 😭
Would you please tell us what is the use of "by block" in AutoCAD I've searched it but not satisfy with anyone's answer.
Please sir do reply on my comment here.
the "by block" option is basically taking the PROPERTIES of the selected block onto the current element
better instructions than the professor at the university that I pay 6k a semester to attend.
it's really helpful for me. thanks u!!

Yes...this is much easy..
Thank you so much for your tutorial, I've been trying to work this out for ages!!
I have done every thing step by step, but the text and the line size still soooo big...what should i do????
On the Dimstyle
Go to FIT tab
Dont TICK on annotative
Select "Use overall scale of:"
and key in scale that you want..
Choose smaller number that your current use..
For me i use this setting
Arrow size = 2.5
Extend beyond = 1.25
Offset from origin = 1.25
Text Height = 3
Text offset = 1.5
FIT tab:
use overall sacle = same with your layout/viewport scale

Did you get it? I have same problem....
@@SidneiPoeta apparently, I still dont lol
Save your dwg as template (dwt)
When you make new dwg, choose your template that you save as template before..

wonderful explanation veryy good
Good explanation sir
U made my every setting mistake ... 🤒🤒such a waste of time
Well done - however on lines tab, you did not cover baseline spacing.
Nice tutorial...But you use word "Basically" way too much!

0:55 "when you... buy it" xD
I am not happy. Each time I open a new AutoCAD drawing I have to set it up again. so frustrating
As others have mentioned…. Set up the dimstyle, then save the drawing as a template (.dwt). Afterward, use the template when creating a new drawing.
It's really helpful video thank you

Disappointed. Went from good default annotations to messy obliques and then showed only one oversimplified example of how to use on a rectangle.
hi sir, for me mm showing 20.0000 I want only 20mm how to change in AutoCAD
