Check the location of the axis markers by hovering over their intersection point and looking at the lower left corner of the window. The annotation block is offset from the object according to how far away the block insertion point is from 0,0. If the axis is not at 0,0, select it and drag it until it is. Once the axis points are aligned at 0,0, click near, but not on, where the x and y axes meet. Then press Enter. The Define Annotation Template dialog box displays. There is no annotation in the drawing until you attach the template to objects.
To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 2: Attach annotation to drawing objects. Expand the Object Data nodes until you see SpeedLimit. Make the annotation text blue and 30 units high. Click where the text of the annotation should start. But considering I have edges, it is going to be painful for me. So is there another better way to do that? I tried the LSP file and it works well for me. We can expand the annotation concept more broadly for sure, but does AutoCAD itself support a similar function to show the length of the line?
Since our customer is going to do the measurements, so hopefully we can use what AutoCAD already had. NESWADBA 's suggestion in Post 2 should work [I haven't experimented] -- I did wonder what happens if you edit the Line by Stretching or something, thinking that since the Dimensioned distance is projected onto the current plane, maybe its definition points would also be "forced" onto the same plane, i. But the result would then have the Dimension's text and arrows foreshortened from the WCS point of view.
The dimension text is overwritten, so whatever you do to the line the correct 3D-length of the line will be displayed. This is what I was worried about, that turns out not to be a problem after all. Initial condition, with the cyan Line relatively from 0,0,0 to 1,1, Thanks for all you guys discussion there, it seems that the Field Area is really a dynamic object and will change based on the real number. But it did not solve my question, as you all understood, I want a built-in function in AutoCAD which can help me easily annotate a lot of 3D lines as the real length.
Unless and until that happens, I think the second paragraph approach in Post 6, if acceptable to you, could be defined into a command name easily enough in AutoLisp. I don't think that's true of the Field-based approach, but I could be wrong.

Sofie Laaraj Teacher. What is one advantage of 2d over 3d CAD drafting? The main advantage of 2D CAD drafting over 3D is that 3D CAD usually found and saved in digital format and having access to computers with data connectivity is not possible in remote manufacturing, fabrication or construction sites.
