I tried to draw a cylinder for a steam engine using it. All went well, even felt like I was getting the hang of it! Draw a box here, relative to that one there, mirror that object etc etc. But then when I came to dimension it, the dimensioning arrows are bigger than the cylinder! In fact if I shrink the image to make the dimension arrows about the right size my cylinder is a dot. I think somewhere along the line I've got my scale wrong, perhaps I selected angstroms... |

Does anyone know how to enter fractional values? i.e. 1 9/16 into these cad packages? Seems to be a pita to have to manually convert stuff like that before typing it in. I tried changing the units to fractional but nothing I typed in seemed to make it happy. (This is for draftsight, but I guess the procedure is common amongst most). |

in your example, in the command bar type 1-9/16 and it should work. |
