[Help] Defining Grid size and showing line dimension in autocad

Hey everyone!

Anyone here knows his way around in Autocad 2005? My fiancee just got autocad 2005 and does not know how to define the grid/document size as well as showing the length in each of the lines she draws (sorry, she doesnt know the name of these in english, but in spanish they are cotas)

If anyone could please help her out on this, we would be very grateful. She has to present this tomorrow and she cant fix the size of her object.

She is on windows XP and as i mentioned above she is using autocad 2005.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I Think they are called dimension arrowheads? (The cota business on top )

I've been working in this app for some time....had enormous problems with cotas too, god damn prolly that's why I dumped Autocad and moved back to pencil :slant:
