AutoCAD 2010 :: Mirrored Dimensions And Text

Oct 5, 2012

Using the same template Text and Dimension style all of the sudden the text is vertical and mirrored and the dimension text is mirrored under the dim line ( above the dim line in normal conditions)

What could be the problem? I did not change anything in the settings, voluntarily, I use this template for years and never had a problem with it till now.

See the bubbled text in the attached PDF.

AutoCAD 2010 :: User Supplied Text In Dimensions From Properties Palette

Mar 7, 2012

The help file for user-supllied text added to dimensions says, "To add user text above and below the dimension line, use the separator symbol X. Text that precedes this symbol is aligned with and above the dimension line. Text that follows the X symbol is aligned with and below the dimension line."

How do I get the same effect from the dimension Properties Palette later?  Would I have to re-create a dimension to do this in another session?  I need text below the dimension on a new line, and have not been able to do it using the Suffix field in the Properties.  Adding text there only appends it on the same line. (Or, am I missing a trick here?).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Text Is Missing After Installing 2012?

Mar 20, 2012

We just installed AutoCAD 2012 on a machine that was running 2006.  (32 bit on Windows XP Pro).

We opened a file that was created in 2006 and the Text is missing from the file. I tried to create a new file and when I start typing text, nothing happens.

I installed the service pack update and hot fix and still doesn't work.  I've tried re-booting and nothing happens. I tried to go in and migrate the tools from 2006 but it was already done. 

note, that this has also been installed on another computer and everything worked fine.

On the other hand people using 2010 are having objects missing in the drawing. All layers are turned on and all thawed. The primary objects missing are AEC objects. Is there a switch to show or hide these object?

Illustrator :: Object Dimensions Missing In CS6?

Feb 22, 2013

When I draw an object in Illustrator, I am not getting the small gray box that shows its dimensions as I draw. Also not getting the green "intersect" tip when I begin drawing at a corner of the document. I'm using Mac 10.8.2. I have both a laptop and a desktop, and the laptop works fine. It's on the Mac Pro that this problem happens. I checked to make sure all preferences are the same on both machines. I updated Illustrator also.

Illustrator :: CS6 - Resizing Artboard / X Y Dimensions Box Missing

Apr 10, 2013

I am NOT referring to the dimension boxes on the toolbar.
 
I'm learning Illustrator CS6 and I've got a document with some artboards. I select the Artboard tool and resize the artboard without any issues.  However, I've seen lots of videos where a little box shows while the artboard is being resized and it shows X:... Y:...
 
I have googled this extensively but no luck. Is it a Mac-specific feature?  I'm using Windows 7. How do I turn it on?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Use Ordinate Dimensions

Jan 12, 2012

I am using AutoCAD 2012.  I am trying to use ordinate dimensions for the first time.  So far, when I want to add the X and Y dimensions for a particular feature in my drawing, I choose the "ordinate" dimension type and then I select my feature.  I drag my leader horizontally and it gives me the Y dimension.  Then I choose the "ordinate" dimension type again, I select my feature again, and this time I drag my leader vertically and it gives me the X dimension. 

I like how this works, but I think I would like it better if, rather than having two separate leaders for X and Y dimensions, I could just have one leader that would show both X and Y dimensions separated by a comma...i.e. something like [X:5.0; Y 7.5]

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Viewports With UCS?

Jul 23, 2012

I have some aligned dimensions in model space - they look ok, text is oriented according to WCS. Also I have some viewports with UCS (I used commands UCS, PLAN) where dimensions look wrong, text is not oriented correctly. Is it possible to "update" dimension in viewport to orient text as in model space?

Programmatically created dims in viewports oriented as in model space, not considering current UCS.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paperspace

Jun 25, 2013

When I make a layout with a part of my drawing in a viewport, I switch over to paperspace to draw dimension lines in it. Although the layout is displayed in another scale (e.g. 1:100) it puts the right dimensions at the drawing.

But now a problem appears:

With one of my drawings the layout does not put the right dimensions at the drawing in paperspace. I really don't know what went wrong. Strange dimensions appear, as if there must be a strange scale factor somewhere. (Dimlfac=1)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paper Space

Feb 16, 2012

I had the need on occasion to dimension in Paper Space. I set up a "Dim Style" to accomplish this in either 1/8" or 1/4" Scale. The problem I am having is the consistency of the actual dimension. 

For example: I could draw a simple box 10'x2'. When I dimension in Paper Space, sometimes it correctly displays the dimensions and sometimes it incorrectly displays the dimension.

I attached 2 screen shots of what is happening. Notice the dimension on top of the box shows 10', but when I dimensioned the bottom of the box it shows 480'. This seems to work at random.

The other screen shot shows the Dim Style settings I used.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Labeling In Paperspace - Dimensions Way Off

Jun 18, 2012

We do a lot of labeling in paper space and have been encountering a problem with our dimension command mislabeling lengths and widths.  Please see attached DWG.  The road width should be 24' and its labeling it 880'.  BUT measuring hoizontally it seemed to work fine.  Really strange.

I am using the dimension command and snapping nearest and perpendicular.  If I just click without using osnap it seems to work.

We tried using the DIM   /   DIMFLAC   /   V     /   and selectiong viewport

The funny thing is that I dont have this problem with every drawing.  Just some seem to have this glitch.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions Not Staying At Their Position

May 23, 2011

I have some serious fight this morning with AutoCAD. I have to dimension my drawings properly so it can be build. I did some already, a few aligned dimensions in an layout snapping on modelspace objects. when i put them all is fine and right dimensions.

BUT after i saved, closed the file and opened it again those dimensions are everywhere exept where i put them originally. And no the modelspace objects are not moved.

How can this be? can i solve this? or is this a know bug for AutoCAD 2012? i can't check all the dimensions before publisching again and again.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Viewport Out Of Sync

Aug 26, 2010

Why is it that some dimensions in a viewport are out of sync with the rest of the dimensions? Eg. a correct dimension is 240, but the next time you dimension the same distance, you get 24 as a dimension figure?

Also, in a long run of continued dimensions one or two of the dimensions is out of scale? I have tried making all dimension Annotative, same dimstyle, etc.

I think sometimes Autocad forgets that it is in a viewport, so some dimensions are correct to the viewport scale while others are to the limits of the paper size?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Round Dimensions Up Not To Nearest

Feb 23, 2012

I am looking for a way to get my dimensions to round up instead of to the nearest.

For example... when I have one line that is 11-15/32" and one that is 11-17/32" and I need them to round up to the nearest 1/4". I want it to round up, showing 11-1/2" and 11-3/4" but instead i get 11-1/2" for both.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Display Dimensions In Properties Box

Jan 24, 2012

I'm trying to figure out two things that have changed:

1) Lets say i create a polyline, lets say its 15 inches long. I used to be able to click on it and have the length show up in my properties. it no longer does that.

2) Lets say i create a polyline, it's green and has a dot pattern. I decided i wanted to change it to yellow and hidden pattern. I can no longer select the line and change it under the properties, it will change it in properties, but not on my screen. then when i draw a new line it will be yellow and hidden. I end up having to matchprop to make it work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paperspace Change Without Notice

Oct 28, 2013

See the attached JPEG files for a viewable explanation.

Dimensions placed in paperspace that are scaled by the viewports, change on their own. This happens at no apparent frequency. And for no apparent reason.

This has happened after I've saved a drawing and reopened. Also has happened when I've moved or stretched a viewport.

Currently I am using Autocad 2012, but this has been happening for some years.
