      I'm using 2016 make and have downloaded a "drawing"from 3d warehouse.I can run the tape over it to get measurements,but what I want to do is make measured drawing with measured components/parts to print out.
      So my question is how to Make measured drawings from warehouse drawings?

        The full answer to you question is very long and it depends on how the "drawing" was created. Did the author use components when they drew it? Did they make them correctly and precisely? Assuming they did do those things, you would be able to place copies of the components in the model and use the Dimension Tool to add dimensions and the text tool to add callouts and labels. Scenes will provide you with views you can return to and layers will provide you visibility control.

        If you want to make professional-looking plans you could use LayOut and add the dimensions and text there.
