I think I have an AutoCad drawing, I can open the drawing up, but I can't modify it. I want to be able dimension the drawing. What do I need to do?
Thanks.

Try saving it as a dxf file, then see if it will let you dimension it.
Maybe the whole drawing was saved as a single Block entity.
Select everything and Explode. May need to do it more than once as there can be blocks within blocks.

Open the drawing then do a save as, rename the drawing to something
slightly different. You can still save it to the same file location since it
will have a different name. Make sure that you save it with the version of autocad you have. In the past I had problems with people that had newer
versions than mine.

I've tried everything to dimension this autocad file, in Bobcad. Nothing works, when I explode the drawing, it will only do the arcs. When I dimension the anything, it reads 0. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks.
I'am not familuar with this bobcad program. What kind of file
formats does it support IE what is the . ext it reads from and saves with
if you want to send me a copy of the file I will open it and see what I can do
I have 3 different drawing programs and a dozen translators.

Perhaps you can open a new layer to put dims on. This helps keep things separate from the drawing on my TurboCad drawings.
