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 .NET :: Programmatically Adding Vertical Dimensions Outside Of Extension Lines

Aug 10, 2012

I have programs that at some point or another create dimensions for what was drawn. When you have a vertical dimension that doesn't fit between the extension lines, it will either go up and to the right or down and to the left. 

I can change it manually by selecting the dimension and then right click and pick Dim Text position > Move with leader.

What I want to know is, is there a way to set the vertical dimension where you want it programatically?  I would like to put the vertical dimension down and to the right of the arrows if possible.

AutoCad 2D :: Linear Dimensions On 3D Blocks

Oct 7, 2011

I have a problem regarding linear dimensions on 3D blocks.

I create a set of 3D blocks and add linear dimensions to these in paperspace. When I want to edit a block the line origin of the linear dimension loses its original set point and I have to spend a lot of time changing the annotations in paperspace.

Am I using the wrong type of annotative dimensions or have I chosen the wrong angle to add dimensions to my blocks altogether?

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.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Adding Piece Of Text (TYP) To Radial Dimensions

Oct 12, 2012

I have a question about Radial dimensions... I am trying to add a piece of text (TYP.) to a Radial Dimension... When I add the text; it makes the text and dim line move further from the arrowhead (see image)

I want to be able to move the text on the dimension closer to the arrowhead without actually exploding it... my current solution is to separate the text (TYP.) from the dimension (see image)

Is there a variable or setting to shorten the length of the dim line on the dimension?

Revit :: Cannot Place Radial Dimensions In Sections Derived

Feb 23, 2011

We have an issue here where a user has N/S/E/W elevations of a building or radial type layout.  Then there are sections derived from these elevations.  If you open up the section pointing north and south you can place radial dimensions on the view needed.  If you go into the section pointing east/west you cannot.  It starts the command, just doesn't allow you to pick anything.  I will post a sample file in a sec.

AutoCad 2D :: Move Radial Dimension Text Away From Lines

Mar 5, 2013

Im trying to move radial dimension text away from the dimension line so I can add in text between the dimension and dimension line.

#1 is the default style
#2 is what happens when I do "Move text only", it moves the dimension line to inside the radial and I do not want that.
#3 is how it looks when I just manually edit the dimension text
#4 is how I want it to look

#4 is a combination of dimension and a manually added leader with the dimension line removed. How can I move the dimension text on a radial without the dimension line automatically moving to the inside? Or is there another way to add in text outside the box while having the dimension text offset from the line?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Lines From Robot To Radial Shots

Oct 29, 2012

I am wanting to draw lines from gun setup to the back sight, and then from the gun to all the radial shots that were taken from that setup. I would like to do this as automatically as possible. (i.e. a bunch of radial lines from the gun to each individual shot from that setup).

Our raw files are in TDS format.  I could do it manually by using the transparent command 'PN, but I would have to draw a line from the setup to the shots individually.

Otherwise, I could write a lisp that asks me for the setup pt number, and I could give it a range ot pt #'s and have it draw lines from the gun to each of the pts in the range. (that is, if 'PN works in lisp).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Interconnected Linear Parameters

Nov 12, 2012

I have created a simple L-shaped dynamic block with a lookup table for its height and length. In addition to the ability to pick the right value pair using lookup table (HxW) I have added the ability to stretch the height or length using a stretch grip and a list of values. Is it possible to make the length automatically adjust to a corresponding value from the lookup table if the height is changed and vice versa?

Xara :: Linear Transparency Not Affecting Lines

When I apply simple flat transparency to a line, or a shape with an outline, it becomes translucent - as expected.

But when I apply a linear (or circular / elliptical / conical etc) transparency, only the fill is affected, and the line remains opaque

AutoCad 2D :: Diameter Extension Lines

May 6, 2013

I want to use diameter extension lines to span the diameter of the circle by forcing the dimension line to be on. When I do that, the arrows are on the outside of the diameter and I want them on the inside so I use the flip arrow command. What happens is the extension line opposite of the dimension text is sticking outside the circle and I want to get rid of it because it just looks bad. I dont see a way of turning off this little extension line. Every thing I turn off doesnt seem to do anything.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimension Linear Distance From Draw

Mar 21, 2012

I'm using AUTOCAD 2011 x64 (E.208.0.0)I get the dimension linear tool;I specify the first extension line origin clicking somewhere;I specify the second extension line origin clicking somewhere; (ortho mode on)

Then I pull the mouse pointer to the direction I want the dimension go and I type 1, because I want the dimension lie down at a distance of 1 unit from the draw (a wall for example).

If I check the distance from the draw to the dimension line (not to the text) using de "Inquiry > Distance" tool I do not have that 1 unit I have typed, instead it retrieve a value like 0.9822, and this value varies on a random way, every time its different.

AutoCAD LT :: Polar Tracking Extension Lines Not Working

Dec 9, 2005

Having problem of polar tracking extension lines working in one direction, but not perpendicular to that orientation? For example, when drawing a simple rectangle after drawing (2) sides, If I go to snap to my initial starting point to show a vertical extension line to intersect with my third line I am drawing, the vertical extension will not show up, even though the horizontal extension line is visible, and even though it snaps to the my starting point to where I wish have the polar tracking show the vertical extension.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dimension Offset - Text Outside Of Extension Lines

Jul 31, 2013

When placing a dimension with the text outside of the extension lines, it defaults to placing the text either above right or below left of the arrows. If you try to grip/drag the text to another location (i.e. below right or above left) it won't allow it. I don't know if it is following some standard, but in the example shown, I had to explode the dimension to position the text in the preferred location.

AutoCad :: Extension Lines For Radius Dimension Need To Start At The Center

May 17, 2007

Having used another CAD program for several years, I was used to the idea that all radius dimensions, like of a given arc, would easily start at the center of the arc, thereby denoting the position of the arc's center.

I'm slightly bugged with some CAD users, even books on the subject by autocad users, that give an arc's dimension from the outside of the arc, yet fail to show the location of the arc's center when it may not be self explanatory. Not good dimensioning practice from what little I've been schooled...

So, in AutoCAD 2007, how do I get an arc's radius dimension line to start at the center and point out to the edge. I can do all kinds of things to the position of the text, etc, but can't figure how to get it to start at the center. (The dimension line needs to start at the center.)

AutoCad :: Dimension Extension Lines Stay The Same Length When Moved

Nov 18, 2012

Some times when I re open a drawing I have been working on, I start to dimension and I notice that the dimension extension lines stay the same length when I move the dimension in and out from the object being dimensioned.

Not sure why this happens, I do all my dimensions in model space, in fact I do just about everything in model and then just set it up in paper space to print.

I never change anything when I start a new drawing in my template, so not sure why it happens.
