In Haochen CAD drawing software, we often need to draw and dimension CAD graphics, especially some complex CAD architectural drawings and mechanical parts drawings, which require a large number of dimensions. So how to quickly mark CAD drawings and improve CAD drawing efficiency? Next, let me share with you some CAD drawing tips! 1. Call the annotation manager and call the annotation style manager.: Menu—annotation or command input: DIMSTYLE. 2. Create a new annotation style basic style based on the "ISO-25" that comes with the software. This way you can manage drawings of different sizes in a CAD file, adjust parameter settings appropriately according to the size of the drawing, and facilitate size adjustment management. 3. Modify the dimension line color of the annotation style. The default color of the dimension line is white. It can be set to green or blue to facilitate differentiation from other lines in CAD. ； The settings of line type, line width and extension line can be seen in the preview box on the right. Line width is thin solid line 0.25mm ； The baseline spacing is generally set to 7~10mm ； 1mm beyond the dimension line ； The starting point offset is 0mm. Arrows are generally solid and closed. Of course, they can be adjusted accordingly according to different design needs. Haochen CAD provides users with more than 20 types and supports user customization. ； The arrow size is generally the same size as the text ； The center mark of the circle is 2.5mm. 4. How to achieve quick marking? Take marking the dimensions of the building wall in the red box in the picture below as an example. (1) For primary annotation, find the annotation through the menu bar annotation or the shortcut key DLI, directly call the annotation function, and annotate the corresponding position. (2) Intermediate annotation first marks a datum through DLI linear annotation, and then uses continuous annotation DCO to directly click on the right boundary line of the next marking point to achieve continuous annotation. (3) Advanced annotation. Continuous annotation is much more efficient than simple annotation, but it is not the fastest annotation method. The fastest annotation is to use QDIM for quick annotation. Enter QDIM and you will be prompted to select geometric figures. You can select all the figures you need to annotate at once. After confirmation, the annotation is completed in one go. These three methods can also be used flexibly to achieve better results. 5. CAD annotation shortcut commands. In addition to the above annotation methods, we can also use CAD shortcut key commands to annotate. The editor also gives you a wave of CAD annotation shortcut commands.
