In autocad 200i my dimensions (not quick dim) is exploding  upon making the dimension, how do i stop this?

look into the dimaso variable in the help files, if you change that it I bet it clears up.

I've been learning to use autodesk and autocad for the last 6 months now and I have used many resources for learning including my textbook, but for online information and resources the manufacturers site has a ton of information, tutorials, and provides assistance. Here is the link that I use (put it in favorites):\nhttp://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/aut...\nGood luck --> it is such a great program to use I don't know how I got along without it before.

when you set up the graphics on your game you need to set them for a 16 x 9 ratio, not a 4 x 3 ratio i.e. 800 x 600 is 4 x 3

The image is probably too wide.  When you print go to options (or properties) and try printing in landscape OR use the "fit to page" option.

If you are trying to buy AutoCAD inexpensively on a place like eBay, i highly recommend against trying it.  It will be useless to you because the software developer is very active in preventing distribution of its products from anyone who is not an authorized distributor.\n\nThe only way you'll know for sure is to go to the AutoDesk website and locate an authorized reseller.  If you want 2D and 3D capabilities, use regular AutoCAD.  If you only want 2D capabilities, use AutoCAD LT.\n\nIf you're looking for an inexpensive software, consider using TurboCAD.  It has a lot of similarities.

if all the lines are equal in every way (duplicate) then you can put a measurment (dimension) from the existing line to a datum or border whichever you choose and then put a callout like 3@12.00' (3 lines at 12.00 feet)in the dimensionwith a arrow pointing at the line.\n\njeff

It sounds like the settings on the monitor itself. Usually there are some buttons on the monitor that will activate a menu so that you can adjust the viewing area. The options usually include making the viewing area wide/narrow, tall/short, moving it around, and another one that I can't think of the name.. This last one changes how "square" it looks.\n\nMess around with those options, you cannot do any real damage, and it is easy to undo.

a few ways.\nyou could just redraw it, it doesnt need to be scanned for that.\n\nyou could insert it as an image in your dwg and trace over everything (digitize), or just leave it like that and draw new entities over the top of it. if you do this I recommend making it a 2bit tiff file, that way it takes on properties like color from autocad.\n\nif you have the means to make a pdf out of your image you could use a pdf to dxf conversion software package. like \nhttp://www.aidecad.com/\nto create a dxf of it and insert in your dwg. now the dxf's are made up of all lines, even the text, so file sizes can get kinda big, but you can insert it in your dwg as a block and be able to dimension it and snap to endpoints etc...\n\nthere may be other ways but one of these is how I would do it.\ngood luck

You can't.. Applications that don't allow maximization do it for a reason, either because if you resize, they layout will go out of wack, or for that certain application, you're only supposed to be restricted to that amount of space.\nThis completely depend on your application....

If it is drawn 1:1, and you are scaling the drawing through printing, then try  print previews at those scales.  If it fits, then it's good.\n    If you scaled it when actually drawing it in cad, then follow juan4824's advice.  at a scale of 1:20, a line in CAD should measure 20 times LESS than the real life object it represents.  Example, a wall which is 20' in real life would measure 12"(1 ft) in CAD.  The same is true for 1:40 scale.  You can measure a line in Autocad using the DISTANCE command.  Type in DISTANCE, autocad will ask you to pick the first point.  Pick one point on the line.  The Autocad will ask you to pick the second point.  Pick the other point of the line.  Autocad will give you 4 distances.  The DELTA distance.  This is the one your interested in.  It gives you the linear distance along the line.  You'll also see X distance, Y distance, And Z distance.  The are lengths along various axis, and you're probaly not interested in these.\nHope this helps.  Good luck.

haha I've always wondered this too. There is no way as far as I know. I just type 'divided by' or put a space so I can draw it after I've printed it.

You need to change the size of the "slice" to change the size.  Make sure the slice layer is showing, increase the size of the relevant slice making sure it doesn't overlap a different slice.  \n\n-HTH
