Since the release of AutoCAD 2002, double-clicking either MTEXT or DTEXT would automatically open the text editor. This elevated the old "DDEDIT" or "ED" command to edit text.
Sometimes, this option stops working. If this does occur, check the system variable DBLCLKEDIT. This should be set to ON.
During the placement of a wall a temporary dimension will appear showing how far away you are from the closest wall or object. The temporary dimension from a wall will always measure from the centre of the wall not the inside or outside face by default
I know that when picking the WALL command you can choose the LOC LINE for wall centre or exterior face for example, but this is for the wall you are about to place, not the temporary dimension that appears while placing the wall.
For example, I would like to place a new interior partition 10' from the inside face of another wall that it 4" wide. I would have to type in 10'2" to place the wall because I have to factor in that the measurement is from the centre of the wall and I must include half the width of the wall.
How can I set the temporary dimension to be on the face not the centerline?
Solution - Settings > Temporary Dimensions > Faces
