AutoCAD 2013 :: Unable To Change Dimensions
Nov 24, 2012
I trying to change dimensions but they will not change.I add a block and then try to dimension it against another block but when i go to change the dimension it just remains the original dimension size. E.g. it currently is 2.895 and i go to make it 3.00 but it does not accept the new dimensions....is there a setting i could check?

What is the system variable to change the display of grip dimensions from decimal to architectural? Specifically I am referring to the dimension associated with a grip(s) when hovering over it.

I wanted to select dimensions and change the precision to 2 decimal points.
For any dimensions I positioned on the object (like the width of the block centered in the block)...rather than above, below or off to the side. I am unable to select that dimension. Every time my cursor goes towards the dimension to select it.....the block itself is automatically selected. Any dimension outside the boundary of the object is fully selectable to edit.

I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.

I am unable to see the dimensions that I measure using power dimensions as per the attachment on the drawings itself. If i want to see it, I have to select the green line, and right click and select the line and select standard as the dimension style. I did not have to previously do all of this.

I am using Inventor 2011. I have recently just dimensioned my entire drawing using only the retrieve command, but now that the angles of my section views have changed the command is not working. In this example you can see section B will allow me to pull up dimensions (not sure why they are not aligned) but section A will not allow to me to pull anything.

Have been successfully using annotative dimensions for A LONG time, upgraded to 2014 and now all the dimensions have randomly been changing themselves to annotative$0 instead of annotative..Can change them back to annotative using properties but even new dimensions come in as annotative$0.

When I go to open up any of my files, any dimesion that has an "8" in it, is automatically changed to a different text font. It just happens to every "8" and no other number or letter. I have to individual change them on all my files. How can I fix this? It just started doing this today.

I'm new to Autocad Mechanical. How can I get rid of the arc on radial dimensions in release 2013? When a radius dimension is put in then moved an arc is automatically put in and the arrow head snaps to the arc, which seems it cannot be removed.

Have one problem with dimensions. I can see them on my model, but I cannot see them on the plot!
Dimensions layer is OK (it is not "no plot" layer, "VP Freeze" is off), especially that this layer contains some other elements that are visible.

I'm using autocad 2007:
I draw a detail 1 in model space and put dimensions on it say at a overall scale of 1.00, now I draw a detail 2 and change the overall scale to 5.00 and put dimensions on that detail but when I look at detail 1 all my dimension have changed to the 5.00 scale. Where I'm changing the scale is under the tab Format/Dim. Style/Modify/Fit/use overall scale of ..... How can I keep the dimensions from changing when I change the scale this way? I know it can be done because I've work on several dwgs. and changing the overall scale doesn't change on every detail in the model space.

When I use slice command in a 3D model, after separation into two parts, each part can't editable, you can only move them.
You can see in arrows on # 1 and # 2 3D model, but after using separate into it two parts by slice command , these arrows are disappeared.
How can I see arrows again to change dimensions of 3D model easily?
I hope that you can understand what I mean. [URL]....

I am currently working on the drawing which I initially didnt have a template for (ie the border for the A1 page this drawing will be printed on) so off I went and started drawing using a scale of 1 drawing units = 1mm.
Now I have been given the border and the drawing I have comes no where near fitting on the sheet so I want to select all of the drawing and change the scale but I obviously don't want the dimensions to change. How can I achieve this?
I also need to know as there are certain parts of the drawings that need zoomed in views so all I want to do is copy the parts I have drawn and increase the scale but again keep the dimensions the same.

I have a problem. When I use parametric dimensions in my existing drawing the dimension lines and arrows are there but the numbers are invisible. I can't see them. I have searched over much of the dimension style manager dialogue box and I can't find a setting that would change this (but I could have missed something). When I open a new drawing and draw a rectangle and add parametric dimensions they are visible and there doesn't seem to be a problem. What the hell is going on? (I have not used paramentric dimensions until just recently.) I am first going to the top view, with the z axis perpendicular to the page, before adding the parametric dimensions (in case that makes a difference).
I previously had a problem wherein an entire drawing I had drawn suddenly became invisible, except when the pointer was in certain places and then it was temporarily visible. But that problem was solved when I just shut down the program and computer and then restarted it all.

i made some 3d modelling in autocad 2014 in the 3d drawing mode but i have some difficulty in modifying the dimensions of the subobjects.
1 method that i already know is to use the scale gizmo which works but not much as i am not able to set the exact dimensions i need. it only scales the subobject according to the previous size.
modify and determine the exact dimensions of the sub-objects.

I can't see my dimension lines or text when within the body of an object because they are tied to the lower Z position....therefore behind the object. Can I change this??

I just switched from Autocad 2007 to 2013. In 2007, when you move your mouse cursor on a vertice of a selected geometry, a rectangle for example, Autocad will automatically display the dimension of the geometry. This features seems to have been turned off by default. How to turn it back on?

When I try to apply the background mask while inside the text editor of the dimension the background mask does not apply. However if I right click the dimension -> properties-> text->fill color -> background, it works.

Weird behavior: the dimensions are moved incorrectly,In the attached dwg (and screenshots), as the drawing is moved, then the dimensions are moved but incorrectly. I’m not sure concerning the sort of settings that influence them to behave like this.

IN Autocad 2013, I'm trying to measure an annotative dimension. When I do it, it doesn't show the units along with the measurement.
For instance, it just shows up 24 when in fact I want it to say 24". Or if it was metric I would want the "m" to show up after the 24. How do I get the unit to appear?
