Once the drawing and annotations are complete in our Autocad 2D Model space, we are ready to generate images for print purposes in Paper space. We show you the easiest and most efficient drawing and publishing techniques in our Autocad 2D training courses. Note the bottom of the Autocad workspace – we have tabs marked Model, Layout 1 and Layout... Read more...

Numbering objects in Autocad 2d is a good way to categorize elements within a drawing. We do so using special multi-leaders, which are circled numbers with an arrow pointing out the feature. We show you how to create numbered multi-leaders in our Autocad 2d training courses. Numbered multi-leaders are usually added within the Model Space, along with other annotation features...

Autocad 2d multileaders are used to point out aspects of a drawing. We show you how to create these useful annotations in our Autocad 2D training courses. Multileaders are basically lines of text, or sometimes objects, with an arrow pointing to a feature within our drawing. We add multileaders in Model Space generally. It’s a good idea to first create... Read more...

Creating text in the Autocad 2d interface is an easy matter, which we explore in full in all our Autocad 2d training courses. Text can either be created in Model Space or Paper Space, depending on the purpose of the text. If the text relates to the drawing itself, we tend to create it in Model Space. If the text...

After adding a few initial dimensions to our completed drawing, we may wish to adjust the dimension style. We show you how in our Autocad 2D training courses. In the Windows version we go to the Annotate tab and the Dimensions section and click on the small arrow icon on the bottom right of the section. This opens up our... Read more...

Attending to the dimension scale in Autocad 2d drafting is a very important factor when adding annotations to a drawing. We discuss various aspects of dimensioning a drawing in our Autocad 2d training courses. We first make the Dimension layer active from the Layer panel drop-down list. We can may add our dimensions in several ways. You can first type... Read more...

The baseline dimension function in Autocad 2D is a useful feature when you want to measure distances from a common level. We show you how in our Autocad 2D training courses. As an example of how this works first open an existing drawing. The feature is most often used in front and side elevations to show RLs or height from... Read more...

The Continue dimension command in Autocad 2D is a useful feature for adding multiple dimensions to a length of an object. We demonstrate how to do this in our Autocad 2D training courses. After the drawing is complete we add dimensions. It’s a good idea to add one or two dimensions, then go into a Paper layout to check that... Read more...

When the drawing is complete we would add dimensioning. This is an easy process which we demonstrate in full in our Autocad 2D training courses. First of all, make sure you add your dimensions on a different coloured layer: a dark colour which will print clearly like blue is best. The general rule is to add your dimensions in Model...

Creating dynamic blocks in Autocad 2D is a great way of speeding up your workflow. We show you how in our Autocad 2D training courses. Dynamic blocks can be modified to show variations of the basic block, for example variable window sizes. These are created by adding various parameters and actions to the block. A simple example of a dynamic... Read more...
