AutoCAD 2007/2008/2009 DWG Format

[#1]

Hello All,

I'm still learning ACAD09, so here's my question.  I have a drawing with some intricate dimensions and I'm trying to find the best way to dimension the drawing so the part can be made correctly.  I use basic dimensions 2D modeling and use X-Y coordinates.  But this particular drawing is somewhat difficult for me to dimension.  Any tips/sites/samples will be greatly appreciated. I have attached the drawing in reference on what I don't thus far.  I'm sure there will be more questions so feel free to ask anything.

Ken hi,

That because your origin drawing point (x=.000, y=.000) does not placed on autocad (wcs) origin point

all you need is to move all objects from your (x=.000, y=.000) to 0,0,0

Cheers,

Moshe

Hello Moshe,

Thank you for your feedback.

Can you please give me an example.  I don’t fully understand, sorry.

Is this what you wanted ?

Don't forget to turn the UCS icon "ON" to be sure it's on Plan (right now it's not)

[#7]

yes it looks like someone used UCS but actually noting is changed

it's *NO NAME* but it near WCS

Hello Patchy,

Not quite sure what WCS is can you give me an example or some sort of pic/site/ etc to take a look at this .  I looked at help in ACAD but still don't fully understand, sorry.

Regards,

Ken

Thank you.

I know what it is but I can't explain it as good as these guys.
