Once you create a CTB file, it is not possible to modify its settings. You must create a new CTB using the wizard. is that true ??

If I am working in 1/4" scale, and I want create text that shows up in paper space at a height of 1/8", how tall in inches would my text be in model space?

How would I draw a 5'-0" line at a precise 45 degree angle in autoCAD ?

Attribute Definitions, or command: attdef, allows you to create editable text forms for a block in AutoCAD. Can used these to create room tags and door tags for my project ??

Adding text and dimensions to a drawing in AutoCAD requires you to know the final printed size of the drawing is that right ?

In the plot dialog box in the right hand top corner you can see what ctb file the plot will use.

You can change this to another ctb file or you can click on the edit button to edit the ctb file

Make yourself familiar with annotative objects such as text and dimensions.

Edit your text style to be annotative with 1/8" height and it will react to the scale setting on the status bar.

At the command line enter L for line, select a start point and at the command line enter @5'-0">45

Yes you can....are you using plain autocad or autocad architecture?

For ACA the procedure is different

Yes, it is very helpful to know the final output size for paper space and plotting

I'm using autocad architecture

is there any different way to do it and can I do that in ACA ? 

and where can I find the command line ?

There is not really a different way other than perhaps changing your SNAPANG to 45 degrees or rotating your UCS along the z-axis 45 degrees.

That would be too much effort for drawing a line at 45 degrees.

Your command line is (or should be) along the bottom of your screen.

If you are a beginner with autocad or autocad architecture I would recommend doing a course a your local community college.

Or searching for some instructional videos on YouTube.

Also check your book store for books on learning autocad.

There are many resources available.
