New to CAD. Please help
(OP)
I have only been CAD drafting a VERY short time and I am having some troubles.
I am using AutoCad 2002 and I am trying to get all of my text and dimensions to end up being 1/8th" in the real world once plotted(no matter what scale I need to plot to).
How should I go about this? Does this need to be done in model space or paper space?
Thanks in advance

1. Figure out what scale to plot at -- depends on paper size and the overall size of your drawing as to what scale will "Fit" your paper. Say you come up with 1"=20'. So you multiply 1/8" by 20. (0.125" x 20 = 2.5) Draw your text at 2.5 units height.
2. Figure out what scale, as above. In Mspace do Zoom 1/20xp (for 20 scale). Switch to Pspace and draw your text at 1/8" height.

set text height to "0.125".
note: be sure Dimscale is set to 1.0000
