I know for a fact that one can add dimensions in Draftsight because I have a copy of it on my computer. DS is pretty much an AutoCAD clone.
I'm not so much concerned with the height of the window as I am with where it is located in plan view. I've never seen a 2D floor plan where the architect decided not to show the location of a window or windows in a room. It just isn't done that way at least in the United States.

Thanks again.
1. Yes base cabinets wrap around 2. The window is high enough where base cabinets come well below it 3. The length of the base cabinets from the wall to front is around 23 inches (usually 1 inch less than the granite top which is typically 24 to 25 inches) 4, The wall shelves again don't touch the window and are about a feet and a half away from the window (that was what I had asked so I remember) 5, Yes, the height of the window cannot be placed with the measurements, but it does not interfere with any cabinets designed. 6, The utility door opens outside the kitchen and again does not interfere with the refridgerator side when it opens
I can do the cad part, but not sure if I can get there to get dimensions....... hence the post

Note that there is no dimension for the distance from the corner of the wall to the window OR the the distance between the window and the door to the utility. One cannot expect to accurately locate the window with one or the other dimension.
So are the base cabinets and counter going to wrap the other two walls?
Seeing how you've done all of the above why not just finish it off and use that as your drawing? Or download the FREE 2D CAD program called Draftsight from Dassault Systemes makers of Solidworks. They even offer a FREE Getting Started guide. There is an online forum in case you have a question and I think they even have a Tips and Tricks section (sort of a tutorial section) providing time saving hints.

Thanks for Reading and Responding.
Here are my kitchen dimensions in inches and millimeters :-
1. You are right - its a rectangular kitchen with parallel walls 2. Please kindly provide me dimensions in mm for my images if possible (pdf) 3. All cabinet shutters and drawer fronts are in sizes like 300, 450, 600, 750, 900 - cause going with standard sizes is cheaper (custom sizes are expensive so I had gone with standard)

Yes, one can do an IMAGEATTACH and using the ALIGN command or SCALE with Reference option one can get close but there are no real dimensions for anything pictured and all you have provided thus far are two dimensions for this "L" shaped room.
Actually it look like the cabinets wrap around to a wall that would most likely be parallel to the one that the door and the window are on. Is that correct? If so, what is the length of that wall?

This is all I have. The pdf with dimensions in mm is what I am seeking (cause they give you quotes only on dimenaions specified). There is a way to import this into autocad and set the length of some side we know, etc. This is all I could gather from the internet and hence posted in this forum. Sorry for the trouble,

Pretty pictures but of no real use at the moment. What about the drawings?
