I completed lesson 1. Sure learned a lot....and with the layering/entity knowledge it would have made the garage cabinet design I did a lot more useful.

How do you dimension diameters? I found something for angular dimensions.

Check THISout... Sorry, didn't get the sound with this vid, but one is with the Dimension tool and the other is manually typing in dimension with Text tool (and I typed it in wrong too)

Thanks, without the sound, I had to play it over several times. Finally, I realized I had to edit the group in order to pick that feature. Worked like a charm.

The next lesson is now available. This lesson re-enforces the construction techniques learned before, shows how to build and use your own custom components, uses Follow-Me to create routings, and the Intersect function to help define complex shapes easily.

Lesson 5 - Construction of a Stile/Rail framed Raised Panel cabinet door.

In lesson 5, Under Stile Construction, your telling us to "Click on the Molding Shape Rail". Watching the video, it is the Stile, which made more sense. I generally try to follow your written instructions 1st, and if I run into trouble, I watch the video.
