Are you taking classes by chance? hope so, this is not the place to learn the basics.

Here are topics to cover your loaded questions:

You would use array command to place the posts.  Showing every 10' dimension is a waste of time, call it out below the overall dim, much like they did for the shorter fence.  Give dims to the 4' gate post.  Use the dimension  tools to add dimensions.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

Our fence design details vary greatly depending on the client and type of project.  From a note saying "Fence this area" to a set of detailed designs.

 

In general I will give coordinates for each corner post or post that changes bearing, and maybe gates.  Dimensioning the space between posts once or twice as typical, dimension all gates, dimension any non-typical lengths, distances (offsets) from important features.  Bearing and distance of the fence alignment is sometimes asked for (or add a dimension of each straight segment).

 

We also supply details (elevation views) either drawn by us or from the manufacturer.  That have complete details on the construction of the fence.
