Measure Command
When I measure something out on AutoCad 2015 for Mac, the measurements appear with labels on them. For example, instead of just saying 3", the label is d27=3". How can I fix this?

That is not a "measurement" per se....
That looks like a parametric dimension.
What command are you launching to get yours?

I'm using the linear command DIMCONSTRAINT (I started learning this program about 2 days ago, so bear with me here).

A DIMCONSTRAINT creates sort of a lock on the entity you dimension to maintain the size in the dimension.
Are you trying to place a visible dimension or do you just want to measure something and see the result at the command line?

I'm trying to have a measurement show up. I've done the same thing on PCs in the facility and it's worked just fine. I appreciate the help!

Hi @Anonymous
I think the case of the troubles you have with dimensioning (measurement as you call it) is ithat you are using wrong button on the Tool Sets palette. I think you are trying to use this one:
From "Drafting" Tool Set, but you need to use this one:
from "Annotation" Tool Set in order to get dimension (measurement) you need.

Great! Again, I really appreciate the help. The next problem is that I don't have that option in my toolbar and I can't seem to find it. How can I turn annotation tools on?

You need to use an arrow at the top of the Tool Sets palette to switch Tool sets:
