11/4 Videos

This set of videos covered how to make dimensions on a drawing. You can do many different measurements including: linear, angular, radius, diameter... Continuous and baseline are the 2 types of dimensions when doing multiple measurements in 1 line. If you don't like the standard dimension settings you can create your own. Autocad makes it easy to edit pre-made dimensions.

11/3 Vidoes

This set of videos covered how to create and edit text. There is 2 types of text, single line for titles and multi-line for everything else. Editing is very similar to Microsoft office 2010 with similar ribbons. Symbols can be found in a separate menu if needed. Autocad has many options for text justification due to the many circumstances you may face. Different preset styles can be created and edited in the text style menu.

Car Project

Finished the car project today. I am still struggling to understand why sometimes the intersection object snap goes past the line and then doesn't let you trim it. Everything else is making sense, even the arcs which were causing me problems before.
