15.5 What Have We Learned?

Items covered in this lesson include:

• Defining Dimension Styles

• Commands:

  • Ddim

  • Update

  • Purge

It's important to take the time now to get comfortable with dimensioning. After all, drafting without dimensioning wouldn't be of much use to anyone . Dimensioning itself doesn't have to be difficult if you take the time to get familiar with the toolbar. But dimvars and dimension styles can easily overwhelm the AutoCAD novice.

If you don't feel comfortable with dimensioning, go back to Lesson 14 and do 14 and 15 again. Then say to yourself, "I've met the challenge and am wiser for it!"
