AUTOCAD Frame Line

[Mitch1990]

Hi,

I have been using AUTOCAD 2018 to produce a basic GA. Is there an easy way to implement a frame line?

I am not sure frame line is the right word, but I am after the line that is usually shown between two views on a GA to show the location of frames or distance from a point.

I am not sure what you mean but, in any case, I am sure that AutoCAD does not have a command that generates the "frame line". You can create that "frame line" as a block and insert it as many times as you want in the place you need each time.
Do you know how to create blocks in AutoCAD?

Yeh ok, I thought that might be the case, I can create blocks. The line I am talking about is the longitudinal line that might be referred to as the baseline at the bottom of this image.

It's clear, we both mean the same line.
I have many hours of work with AutoCAD and I think that the most comfortable way to act is to create that line as a block and insert it where necessary.

That is a very neat ferry Mitch - would you be happy to share more details / other drawings with us please?

thats called "frame ruler".
If you use CAM orientated software its automatically generated.
In CAD programs once you manually create it you can insert as a block, copy as geometry or copy as a group of objects.
