I am a first time user of autocad LT. I am shocked to to see how unuserfriendly it is.
The simplest thing of all should be to show area of a room (or m2).
Not even that is easy.
I took a video of my screen while trying to measure something as simple as the hallway.
I would expect some box that says the numbers of the area but there is nothing anywhere.
Where are the numbers???? When I let go of the mouse button after selecting an area (showed as green) it just dissapears..!! why doesnt it stay selected?
This is really ****ed up. Why call something quick dimension if the software shows you nothing.. whats quick about that?
