Placing Dimensions on the Drawing

Upon returning to your drawing, it should still look almost exactly like Figure 12-1 (shown earlier), and it should have the following:

• A new layer called A-ANNO-DIMS, which is current
• A new dimension style called A-DIMS-PLAN, which is current and is now displayed in the drop-down list on the Dimensions panel
• Most of the layers frozen
• The Endpoint osnap running (Other osnaps may be running, but only Endpoint is important to this exercise.)
• On the status bar: Ortho mode, Polar Tracking, and Object Snap Tracking off
• A new text style called A-DIMS, which is current

Placing Horizontal Dimensions

First, you’ll dimension across the top of the plan, from the corner of the building to the closet wall, and then to the other features on that wall. Then you’ll dimension the decks and roof.
