Help learning how to use DraftSight

I have some DWG files from a site survey of my house. I would like to draw some boxes (cars, a new garage) and be able to specify the dimensions of the boxes and measure how far they are from features in the survey (trees, walls, setback lines).

I drew some lines but they scale with the viewport - they always stay the same size on the screen whether I zoom in or out so they're basically useless. I need help figuring out how to fix the position of these boxes relative to everything else in the survey.

 

 



The easiest way to do this would be for me to just share my screen over a Zoom/Google Hangouts call, and someone to give me help for 30 minutes, as soon as possible. Is anyone able to help? I can pay \\\$30 for 30 minutes of your time via Paypal, Venmo, Zelle. Please get in touch kevin@burke.dev.
