StudioCraft - CAD - Tech Drawing B

WhatCarnival? (9:16:44 PM): for our technical drawing dimensioning......are we are able to dimension like one or two things and then write notes saying "2' on Center etc.?
WebProf (9:20:00 PM): you can use "typ" if it is typical
WhatCarnival? (9:20:07 PM): ok
WhatCarnival? (9:20:34 PM): but we aren't supposed to dimension EVERY single part...that is over kill
WebProf (9:21:38 PM): if a flat has 2' toggles
WebProf (9:21:45 PM): then dimensioning one is enough
WhatCarnival? (9:21:50 PM): ok
WhatCarnival? (9:22:14 PM): and if there are different ones we dimension them accordingly
WebProf (9:34:07 PM): yes
WhatCarnival? (9:34:39 PM): ok thanks
WhatCarnival? (9:35:02 PM): one other question......
WhatCarnival? (9:35:55 PM): i am doing my dimensions in model space in paper space.......so I have to double click in my view port.....how do I get out of that without scrolling around the messing up the scale?
WebProf (9:36:26 PM): you can double click outside the viewport
WebProf (9:36:37 PM): or you can use the button on the bottom of the screen
WhatCarnival? (9:36:43 PM): no...but if I am zoomed in so that i can't see the edge?
WebProf (9:36:47 PM): if it says "model"
WebProf (9:36:55 PM): then you click it and then it says "paper"
WebProf (9:37:00 PM): and you're in paperspace
WhatCarnival? (9:37:04 PM): oh ok
WhatCarnival? (9:37:11 PM): thanks so much
WebProf (9:37:17 PM): no prob
WhatCarnival? (9:38:02 PM): wow that is really helpful
