I really love the way you show what is incorrect and correct with placement of dimensional text. Your voice (I know that it may seem trivial to most) resonates (yes - I am referring to actual frequency) well with the way and order of presentation. Thank you very much.

Alright I MIGHT (need verification) have answered my own question, but not absolutely sure, just logically. IF the measurement horizontally started from the left rounded edge of this internal piece or lack of it (I have no information if this is a cutout - I am a neophyte to all of this) and to the right rounded edge, THEN it would be consistent with the solid extension lines such as was drawn for the width size dimension (.52). Is that correct? (I thought extension lines did not touch the geometry it is indicating) But I STILL VERY MUCH have another question which arises from the first. That question is the same BUT at the next higher level (or layer) of drawing; i.e. IF one measured the farthest exterior geometry which is the rectangle, then would then that make what I just thought a 180 deg rule ? I need assistance to understand HOW (by what procedures or rules) does one draw the extension lines when you have this kind of layering of geometries... ?
I have a question. Regarding the size dimension lines for the horizontal and vertical measurements, why does there appear to be inconsistency in the drawing of the extension lines for the 1.83 dimension and the .52 dimension in that the extension lines are broken for the ones to denote the 1.83, but the extension lines are NOT broken for the ones to denote the .52?
I assume you are talking about time 4:19 in the video. This drawing was generated in Autodesk Inventor and follows the rules set in the program. Let's see if I can explain their methodology. This image has two "Position" symbols locating the center points of the two radiuses. The extension line has a break from these position symbols. The extension lines for the .52 dimension, are a different thickness than the object lines they are pointing to, and are therefore better distinguished as separate lines. Position symbols and extension lines are the same thickness. You obviously watched the video very closely. Hope this helps.

Glad you liked it.
Excellent video! Great clarity, thank you
Standards are great- there are so many to choose from!
Great video, thanks a lot!!
Great video very informative, I liked the place also, thank you very much!

VERY NICE SIR
Thanks
Fantastic
How about tap and threads?
any good book you would recommend?

Says one thing, but shows another about dimensional text location. Even AutoCAD does it another way.
I'm sure you've heard this before, but you sound suspiciously like James Woods. Either way, thanks for the vid!
Good irania
Fil- it, not Fuh-ley.
