AutoCAD 2010 :: Suppress Extension Lines For Radial Dimensions But Not For Linear

Sep 16, 2011

I am using AutoCAD 2011.  When I create a radius dimension on the inside of an arc, and I place the dimension beyond the center point of the arc, AutoCAD automatically draws an extension to the arc and points my radius dimension leader to the outside of this extension, rather than to the inside of the original arc.

I don't really like this.  I prefer for my demension leader to point to the inside of the original arc.  I can get exactly what I want by going into "Properties" for the radius dimension and turning the "Ext Line" property off.

Rather than having to do this every time, I'd like to create a dimension style that would give me this functionality all of the time.  When I try to modify my dimension style, I see that there  are just two parameters for Suppress Ext Line 1 and Suppress Ext Line 2.  These seem to apply to both linear dimensions and radial dimensions.  Is there anything I can do to suppress the extension line for radial dimensions only and not linear dimensions?

AutoCad :: How To Suppress Suffix For Angular Dimensions

Sep 27, 2011

I'm having trouble displaying the units for dimensions. The issue is with the suffix.

When I add the " suffix to indicate inches autocad also adds the suffix to the angular dimension.

2 questions...

Is there a way to suppress the suffix for angular dimensions? Do I need to have a dimension style just for angular dimension?

I do not want to dimension in architectural because I don't want the dimensions to change to feet and inches.

Revit :: Set Up Alternate Dimensions That Report Value Represented In Different Way Via Formula

Feb 12, 2014

is it possible (Revit 2014) to set up alternate dimensions that report the value represented in a different way via a simple formula? 
 
I am trying to show my dims as brick units (based on standard metric bricks 215x102.5x65mm with 10mm mortar joint), and was hoping to create new 3 dim types, based on CO+, CO- and CO, so the alternate dims i want would be:
 
CO+ =[value-10]/225CO- =[value+10]/225CO simply =[value/225] 

with the appropriate suffixes (CO+, CO- and CO). If this is possible..... or on the cards?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Adding To Alternate Text?

Sep 16, 2013

I would like to add text to my dimension but as I have overridden my FONTALT variable it does not display. The dimension on the LHS is exactly the same as the one on the RHS (during edit). Neither will display the text I want which in this instance is WEB.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Suppress Enhanced Attribute Editor Alert

Sep 18, 2013

When in the attribute editor, after you edit an attribute then click "select blocks", to choose a new block to edit, an alert appears telling you that an attribute in the block has changes and asks if you want to save these changes.  I ALWAYS want to save these changes...

Therefore, my question is, is there a way to turn that alert off or suppress it?

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 :: 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.

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions Changing Scale In Paperspace

Aug 27, 2010

Modeling 1:1 in MS, dimensioning in PS different scaled viewports.  Plotted from PS, did further work both in MS/PS and notice dimension readings have scaled up by 99.98% and 100% to what they were in hard copy.  Changed dims in properties but for some reason they have reverted back to the percentage increase?  For example I have a 5745mm truss span that is now a 574.5 meter spanning truss!!??  Haven’t altered dimstyle at all or any scalings.  Laid another dimension again in PS along side the exaggerated one using same endpoints in order to check things and it’s fine.

Would like to know what has caused the dims to scale up in PS and, how to undo the problem, hoping not to have to re-dimension.

Attached is the dwg. and yes, I have dimensioned in MS but there was a reason.  It’s PS that’s causing the grief.
