Entering dimensions? How????

[FlashGordon2000]

I have been attempting to dimension my diagrams using the examples given in the Tutorial Workbook but have had little luck. I can't get the program to display either the units or the arrows - all I get are a bunch of green lines that bracket the feature I want to dimension. Are there some settings that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds to me i Im hearing you correctly, is problem with text size and terminator size(the arrows). If you go to Elements from your drag down menu from the top. Then go to Dimensions. A dialog box with several options should come up. Go to teminators and play with the width and height. My drawing is 1/8"=1'-0" and my width for the is 1, height .5 and the orientation which is above is inside for the teminator. Go to text and play w/ heoght and width. On units make sure to check your scale factor. Mine is 1

Forgive the awful incoherent typing.

No problem regarding the typing - it was pretty clear.

And thank you for helping me resolve this problem.
