View 3 RepliesIf I place a dimension and have text above and below the dimension line (using X), and then grip edit the dimension text to move it for space/clarity on plans, the text above and below the line will mysteriously move closer to the line. If I have backgrounds applied to the text, which I normally do, the backgrounds will cover the line. Even without the background, it looks odd next to other dimensions that were not grip edited.

I am using Inventor 2010 Professional Student. I have drawn and extruded on a plane. I need to move this plane to a new measurement (from -45 to -47). When the Edit Dimension box appears, I type the new measurement in, but the plane wont move. I have a lot of construction sitting on this plane, but it is in the wrong spot.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently found this lisp routine which changes dimension text from the actual measurement to EQ.
(Defun c:equaldim ()
(setq newdim (entsel "
Select Dimension to Replace
with EQ.:"))
(setq newdimvalue "EQ.")
(command "dimedit" "n" newdimvalue
newdim "")

)
I would like to be able to do the same in 2013 LT using a macro. All efforts to write a macro have failed because I don't know what controls the Text Override.
There was a command in 2008 called Dim Text Edit that allowed one to move dimesions - is there an equivilent in 2013? There was another one called Dim Update; is there one in 2013?
View 7 Replies View Relatedhow to edit the line space distance for the dimension text. I can change the style, size and several other features. But the line space distance is the one thing I can't seem to edit. The only solution I know of and use is exploding the dimension and then the text turns to mtext and the option becomes available. But then if the section changes to a shorter/longer area, i have to go through several steps with the exploded lines. how to edit the line space distance for the annotation in the dimensions. i have also attached a pic of my issue as well.

I am trying to edit the placement of vertical text within a dimension line - I wish for the text to be outside the dimension line not inside.

I’m wondering why the “leader” of the “dimension text” disappears when the text is moved.
How can I control this setting?
I need to show this “leader” all the time. Is that possible?
Please, have a look on the screenshots below (the file is attached).

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to move the horizontal text of a vertical dimension that's outside of the extension lines to the right or left?
This was possible years ago with a simple stretch or moving of the text grip. Now, if the dimension is above the extension lines, the text is to the right. If it is below the extension lines, the text is to the left.
How do I edit a dimension text to add a second line (so dimension on top of the line and text on the second line)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using 2013LT. It crushed yesterday. Today when I opened my drgs. I can not edit text, delete anything. I also have noticed that menu under right click does not have the same options as before ie. block edit is not there and so on. I have opened differend dwg ones that I wasn't working on when it crushed and the same thing happed.
I opened my drawings with 2012LT and everything works fine.
I working with one schedule dwg by using table command. I could not able to edit text in a cell while i double click, inside the table cell. But i can edit by using right click method. before it (double click) was working. now i dont know what happend.

on another PC this:
So, some angle and aligned length dimensions are mirrored.
PDF previewed with Adobe Reader and Foxit PDF reader.
File is created and printed in 2010 LT, hence no UCS rotation, text style and print settings unaltered.
why my dimstyle appears different when I use different versions of AutoCAD.
In LT it is correct (left hand image), both styles are STANDARD font but in the full version (right hand image) the suffix text style is ROMANS.
I can not edit the M text & field text in title box.My system is Windows Xp Professional 2002, Inventor 11.
I tried to install Microsoft Hotfix KB918118 as I did before, but I coulden't. System massege show my system is newer than that, so I do not need it. Then I installed Hotfix for text problem caused by Microsoft Hotfix KB918118. I can edit M Text now, but still I could not edit Field Text.
I lost my dimension text on all my drawings when I converted with Windows 7. I did reload the 2010 software from scratch. I am thinking it is some type of .dll file issue or font issue.

I want to draw an object similar to the dimension that contains two arrowheads with TWO “text dimension” to indicate the range each “steel bar” covers. This is important to indicate the range the two bars cover with the same dimension object.
Have a look on the screenshot below . The file is attached.
I have to go up to cut and select the object to delete. Also when I click on text the edit dialogue box doesn't come up. I have to go to properties to edit.

I have a rather weird problem. I am using .dxf files as digital overlays on a new optical comparator we recently purchased. The problem is, the cad files we used to create our old mylar overlays is both 3d and comprised of text/curves/dimensions. I figured out the flattening and turning the text into lines and curves, but I cannot find a method to change the dimension graphics (profile boxes, length dimensions, and angle dimensions) into lines and curves.
When I import them into the comparator program only the lines and curves can be displayed on the comparator. Is there any way to flatten and make all of the dimension graphics lines and curves?
editing the text in a web page template that I downloaded from a free template web site. The page is .psd file, I opened it in photoshop ver 6, went on to those layers which are having text. the layers clearly denotes T , I double clicked on T but as per tutorial I read on a web site, the text is not highlighted or selected, instead the blinking cursor comes over that text and when i try to write something it overwrite the new text over the previous one and previous text is as it is as its before.
I also tried to edit the text by going on vertical tool bar, clicking the T button, and then double clicking on the required text but it also doesnt work. After going through couple of tutorial websites and reading it, I came to know that text layer might be rasterized, I checked in the main menu, the layer is not rasterized and clearly show the letter T.
I use 2.8.2. I have some words on a picture, in a text layer. I didn't make anything with the text, it is pure text. I want to edit it. I open the layer and click on the text. As soon as I click, I get a new text field, and if I write something, a new text-layer opens. The old one is untouchable. What can I do?

My office has just installed 2012 on a couple of extra machines. Our installs were fine before but for some reason we can't double click to edit text or attributes any more. I've checked MTEXTED = INTERNAL and DBLCLKEDIT = 1 but that's not it. We can type ED or ATTEDIT to edit attributes normally, or MTEDIT to edit mtext but we don't get the normal text formatting bar or ruler. It's just looks like were using the dxtext editor, but it's not dtext.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to modify .DXE files with a text editor?
I want to quickly find & replace the file paths DXE's are looking for (rather than run eattext every time I have a new drawing), but after opening in Notepad or Word AutoCAD displays error "...not valid extraction file."
BLK's were nice because files could be renamed and the schedule would still work. Now, the DXE will look for the old drawing rather than the one which has been renamed. Copying a file or using a template is impossible because you have to run eattext & create a new DXE every time the file name changes.
In autoCAD tools I am using Device ID to mark my receptacles GFI, WP, and Ect. I am using Light ID to mark my lighting fixtures. The problem is the labels do not match my current text style. These tags also do not work like room tags and other tags I have searched to resolve this issue. The command these tools are grabbing is AECscheduletag. Is there a way to change the text style and size for these tags.
