When using basic dimensions, is the referenced dimension still box. ie 5X [5.00] = ( [15.00] ).
 
While Tec-Ease does provide some excellent information, I have seen enough little things that I consider poor practice in their examples to only rely on them for conceptual understanding. I admit to being a little anal when it comes to a good drawing, though.

The real test of drafting procedures like this is to get sloppy.

Dimension specification...

21X [0.393] (=8.250)

Note that 21[×]0.393 is 8.253. I wonder about going something like...

[8.250] (= 21X 0.393)
