Dimensions

[info7MBKQ]

Hi there,

When I use the rectangle to dimension a room, it doesn't give me the size what I want and when I do offset the same thing. Could you please help me with that?

Hi Morteza,

Can you illustrate somehow the problem?

Offset of what?

Hi Maxim,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, but I don't see your answers to my questions. Without them, I can not help you to solve the problem.

Dimensions. 

When I'm drawing a rectangle and its dimensions don't match the distances I want.

And when I do offset walls, door frames and etc. don't match either the distances I want. 

Could you please help me with that?

Thanks.

I don't have such issues on my side. How do you enter dimensions for rectangle, when you draw it? The same question about offset. Can you make screen recording?

Hi,

Please find screen recorded, for dimensions.

Hi,

Please find screen recorded, for dimensions.

You type dimensions for rectangle in wrong format:
when you type "2000,2000" AutoCAD takes this as absolute coordinates and puts the opposite corner of the rectangle at coordinates x = 2000 y = 2000 of current coordinate system.
You should use in this case relative coordinate input and type @Anonymous,2000 when AutoCAD asks for other corner.
Not sure about offset - it should work correctly.
Can you attach drawing with wrong offset results?

Hi,

Could you please do a screen recording and guide me how can I do the rectangle at coordinates x = 2000 y = 2000 of current coordinate system? Or we can do screen share from TeamViewer!

I think once we solve this problem then offset should works properly.

Hi there,

Please watch the video I did a screen record, I would like to type dimensions the same as that not in the command section.

Now you show dimension input with Dynamic input turned on.

You can turn on Dynamic input on the Status Bar with this button:

Another way to toggle Dynamic input is with Shifr+Cmd+D shortcut or with F12 (Fn+F12) function key.

As soon as you turn on dynamic input, you can draw rectangle with method you showed in your screen recording -

you will see dimension input in the drawing area.
