AutoCAD Architecture :: 2012 - Dimension Arrow Scale For Architectural Ticks
Apr 13, 2011
I have recently started using Architect 2012. We use Architectural Tick for dimensioning.
The problem is the Architectural Tick arrow is not coming in at the proper scale (Arrow head size = 3/32", dimscale varies). The arrow head seems to be out by a scale factor of 25.4 (found by trial and error).
If so is there a software patch or workaround. Can the Architectural Tick block be edited and if so where is it?
(using Windows 7 - 64bit)

just got my boss to agree today to use cad's dimensions instead of the way he's always done it... which is dimensioning everything (everything!) by hand. Clearly that's just nonsense. But what is important is that I make sure these new autocad dimensions look exactly like the ones we do by hand.
I think I've pretty much got the basics down, I just have one major problem: tick orientation. When doing horizontal dimensions, the ticks run from bottom left to upper right. When doing vertical dimensions, they flip. This would drive my boss nuts... to the extent that I doubt I could get him to buy into this if I can't figure out how to keep the ticks running in the same direction.
I understand I could just dimension with no ticks whatsoever, and then just go copy them in by hand, but that reeks of the old, laborious way of dimensioning... and it really seems like there should be an easy answer to always keeping the ticks running the same way.

I received a drawing from a client where the architectural ticks display very large. The leader arrow shows as the correct size but the dimension tick does not. I went into the dimension style manager (dimstyle) and everything seems to be in order. The tick size is set up to be 1/16". I tried to dredge up out of my memory the autocad variables that mess with the size of the archtectural ticks like "dimasz" and "dimblk", but with no luck.
Currently using Autocad 2013.

I have a file that the architectural tick marks are not solid. They are an outline of a rectangle.
fillmode =1
shademode = 2dwireframe
options/display = solid fill is checked.
I am on ACA2011. It does not matter if I am in model or a viewport. It is the same.
I have another file open and that dim ticks are filled.
I have imported the dim string into the one that does not work and still nothing.

I was finishing up my autocad project I noticed that the little arrow next to the annotation scale on the bottom right corner of the page was gone. The little arrow shows a list of scales in autocad so you can properly scale your drawing. how to bring the arrow back or is it a glitch?

How do I get my dimension styles, door styles, window styles, etc. from Architectural 2011 to 2012? I migrated but I don't see where it brought my styles over.

I am working in inches so I set my dimension units to Architectural. When I am dimensioning a distance that is twelve inches I would like the dimension to read 12" not 1'. I would like to set up the dimension style to report this dimension automatically without editing the text manually to change 1' to 12". Is there a way to set this up through the dimension style?

how can I draw a circle with 285 ticks or small dashed lines along the rim U know just like the 360 degree compass.
After that I want to write text following the path of these ticks.In other words radial text so the whole thing would like like rays of text coming off that circle.

I am working on an architectural drawing and for some reason when I try to "objectscale" the annotation to the same scale as the view port I am using, it doesn't appear or if it does it is a lot smaller scale than I requested.

We just upgraded to AutoCAD 2012 Architectural suite, With previous versions of AutoCAD we would be able to import groups using the customize pallets dialogue and Right click to import or export palette groups. These options seem to be missing.
How to lisp the function, where I'm trying to ultimately go with this anyway.

I have not touched AutoCAD for quite some time and I just got back on it today.
For some reason, I cannot seem to be able to get the arrow at both end when I am drawing dimensions. Also, no text (unit) is shown is arrow either...
I loaded the template: Tutorial-mArch.dwt

PS: I am drawing a front fence for the front of the house I am about to renovate...

I am trying to insert a block into a file in Acad 2014 and it comes in too large. If I insert the same block into the same file using Acad 2012 it comes in at the correct scale. Doesn't seem to matter if insunits is 0 or 1, or insunitsdefsource or insunitsdeftarget are also 0 or 1.
There must be some variable or variables I'm missing.

I want to insert dimension lines on this project. But instead of having an actual dimension I'd like it just to be a letter that refers back to a chart of possible dimensions for that element. How do I do this? I'm using AutoCad Architecture 2012.

I'm trying to flip an arrow head dimension so that it appears within the two dimension lines pointing outwards. I understand that in previous versions of AutoCAD you could just right click -> flip arrow heads, but this version (AutoCAD Electrical 2014) seems to lack this feature...

As you can see in this picture, I have made an iso arrow and then block it, but when I want to use it in the Dimension arrow (user arrow)the block is rotated.

I am as-building some model space drawings. Client wants model space. I am trying to determine how to size the text and dimensions.
Ex: drawing 1/2" =1'-0", I scaled the drawing bdr up 24 times. What is the right sizing for text, dims. Arrows to get 1/8" text, etc? So far the arrow heads look to tiny.c

I have 2 dimension styles, but for one, I can't change the arrowhead
In the attachment, there are 2 dimensions, one of each style. The left one works good, the right one doesn't reflect any changes to arrows (type, size).

I can't figure out why only on one layer the arrowheads on dimensions are not solid. They are made up of low resolution hatches.
Also the screen shows black and white when plot is in monochrome and color only when the plot setting are for color.
I can't figure out how to keep the screen in color regardless of plot settings.

I have a Viewport set to scale 1:100 and the Viewport is locked.The Annotation Scale displayed in the Viewport was 1:50.
When I clicked on the Synchronize Icon beside the Viewport Scale, the Viewport Scale changed, even though the Viewport was locked.
I was expecting the Annotation Scale to synchronize to the Viewport Scale.
Is this how it is supposed to work? and why does a locked Viewport Scale change?

I have found 3 installed dynamic scale bars that cad offers that can be inserted onto a map, but i don't like the graphics of the 3 choices.
is there other choices for dynamic scale bars offered somewhere, or do people just build there own?

how can I change the default arrowhead size from 3/32 to 5/32... I am able to change it from the palettes only after I insert it.
I would like to have all leaders of all styles match the same style far as arrowhead size... multi-leaders are defaulted as 5/32 and after using them forwe like them this size verses the 3/32 size of the quick leader.

Is there a way to change the leader arrowhead size without changing the dimension arrow/tick size?

In AutoCAD 2012 My dimension style/scale seems to change automatically. I'll add one dimension in paper space,and then the very next dimension will be in a different style. It will say 30" one time, then 400" the next. Seems like it picks its own scale randomly. It happens with the default dim styles as well as custom styles.

when I draw a shape and add a dimension to it, the text and the numerical and the arrows of the dimension are small, so I have to increase the text height manually
how can I make it automatically scale itself?
also similiar thing with the lines, I tried putting a dashed center line on a shape, it looks solid but when I zoom it it does not.
how can I solve this?

I always put the dimensions and text leaders in model space, is it true if I plan to have 3 different viewport scales, I would have to create 3 different dimension styles for each VP scale, it’s quite hard to predict in advance which VP scale that I am going to use, Let say I am going to use 1/8”=1’ what is the simple math formula to use?
