How to draw dimension lines?

[bsacco]

but I need the line to display the length with test, i.e. <--------- 16’ ------>

Question to answer:

1. how do I get the line display like this? <----------------16’ ------------------>

Please advise

Continuing the discussion from How do I create a measured line, ie., <------- 16' ------->:

Start drawing a line.Click the start point.Drag the cursor towards the end point.The measurement box will show the changing length of it.When it is near the desired size you can click the end point.Now immediately type in the exact length required.For example:

16’3"

The press enter.

Given a set of explicit instructions for drawing a line of a certain length, you carry out a completely different set of steps and it doesn’t work. Curious indeed.

Perhaps something more visual,

I’m not clear what your question is, exactly, but if you are looking for something like this:

Click the Dimension Tool, pick the end of a line, then pick the other end, and then position the text and click again.

And a moving version.
