Dimension Text

[Don348]

Hello,

I've recently started using DraftSight and I have a question about dimensions. I am new to CAD software so please keep that in mind when responding. Thank you.

I am creating a drawing with dimensions. When I create a linear dimension I am not able to see the dimension text. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the dimension text to show?

Thank you

Could be the dimension scale setting is so small the text is tiny. Could be the text color setting matches the background color. Could be other things I suppose. There is a DraftSight tutorial available for free download. You'll have to search for it, I can't recall the exact name and don't have it on this laptop. Maybe "Getting started in draftsight".
