You're probably the most polite trainer out there. I started learning CAD about a week ago, grasping concept of layers troubled me. Very well explained. Thanks

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

Thanks very much, glad the videos are helping. 👍

[@samyyoussef8380]

it is a sort of whispering, however, it is so helpful

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

Thanks, the audio improves as I did more videos.

[@adamepb]

You explained that beautifully; thank you for posting.

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad it was helpful.

[@MPLibby-sq9bp]

hello from Boston Joe!....New sub.....I'm new to Autocad and really enjoyed your video, especially the pace

[@ard2010st]

you are awesome thank you very much,

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

My pleasure, glad the videos are helping. 👍

[@Jnr96]

Great Video Joe! Keep up the good work.

[@MoHit_Gaming77]

My document starts with hundreds of layers that I cannot delete. Could you tell me why that is?

[@louiscabaldi7531]

Hi! Why is it not ideal practice to use layer 0? Thanks!

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

Great question, I can't really put it better than this answer from a forum:
"If you turn off layer 0 in the local drawing all of the attached Xref's layer 0 are also affected,
It doesn't matter if it's a local file or an attached Xref, Layer 0 is the same layer.
The same thing applies to the DefPoints Layer.
If you are going to use a drawing as an Xref you will want to have everything off of layer 0."
Hope that makes sense. 😊

When I start drawing there is no “dimension symbol near of A test “how did you open it

[@estarling8766]

Is it podssible to post a demo on a Autocad 2017 in 2016?

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

The software normally runs a year ahead.

[@missphantomhive6376]

is it just me or your voice really sounds like benedict pengwing cumberbatch?
very useful video tho, thank you!

[@olindatorres1516]

Hi Joe, thank you for the video! Do you know how I can get this layout/view on auto cad 2017 for Mac? In school I learned how to use cad on Windows but my problem was coming home and not being able to practice what I had learned because Cad looked different on Mac :/

[@Matdogg2k]

At 13:12, I didn't see a hidden line. How did it get there?
And what is the purpose of it if it cannot be seen?

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

Hi, I think I was just using the hidden line as an example of how switching layers can change the linetype. I hope this answers your question.

[@lyndonleceragudito4497]

Done sir.

[@abdulaziz-sx5cv]

thanks its very helpful

[@micgalovic]

Thanks for the video

[@alexcurry23]

Can you do a video on scaling?

[@JoeRobinsonTraining]

Might be able to, do you mean as in making objects in model space larger and smaller? Or scaling in paper space?

[@alexcurry23]

@@JoeRobinsonTraining I'm actually having trouble when I insert a block in model space. The scale is totally off from the drawing I insert it into and i'm trying to learn how to make sure both are in the same scale. The block I inset is showing up way larger.
