AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Style Radius Vs Diameter

Jan 4, 2013

I am trying to edit my drawing template dimension style to always do a diameter (if it is a circle). Right now it defaults to radius and I manually right click and change it. I found all sorts of styles for how it displays the radius and diameter, but didn't find where to set the default.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Radius / Diameter Dimension Style

Jul 5, 2012

When I dimension an arc to find the radius, the dimesnions appears as a line going from teh center of the arc to the edge of the arc with the dimension in the middle. I don't want this. I want a leader pointing to the R text and that's it.

I've attached a photo of both scenarios- one dimension is the style I don't want, and one is basically the style I want (I'd like it to be more of an elbowed leader line), but it only appears when I use AutoCAD's ISO25 dimension style.

AutoCad 2D :: Diameter Or Radius Dimension - Cannot Extend Extension Line

Aug 16, 2013

When you make a diameter or radius dimension it always has this static extension line shown in red when you move the dimension far enough away. I can not seem to extend this extension line at all it is always the same length no matter what variable I change. How to lengthen this extension line?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modifying Diameter And Radius Dimensions

Oct 23, 2012

My company is trying to Standardize all drawings produced to 1 format.  the one we are attempting to create would be in the form of: nominal upper limit^lower limit.  this is easily acheived in autocad and linear, chamfer, and hole/thread dimensions in inventor.  but radii's and diameters from a round surface (as apposed to linear diameters) we have run into a snag with.  We cannot seem to find a way to either remove the prefix symbols or be able to insert text between the symbol and tolerance.

below is a illistration of the problem and the form of the new dimensions.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Customize Radius And Diameter Default Formatting?

Oct 31, 2013

The default format for a radius and diameter dimension is inserted with a prefix "R" and diameter symbol ahead of the measured dimension.  Our company standard pre-Inventor was to place either "RAD" or "DIA" after the measured dimension.  We can not seem to find anywhere in the setup to change how these type dimensions are inserted as a default or custom setting.

Can we change/customize the radius and diameter dimension formatting?

Dec 23, 2012

We need re-location the diameter dimension after we change the drawing view's scale. but we didn't know how to change the Startpoint of the dimension (mark with Red word "1"), just find the text location.

Who knows how to set the new point to for the startpoint?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch / Can't Dimension A Circle From Radius To Interior Shape

Jan 26, 2012

Octagon inside a circle... The circle cannot be dimensioned off the octagon?

I need it to have, say .25" clearance and I mean I can just make the circle the right size... but Inventor/I really should be able to do something this simple...

A circle inside a circle, same center point, you can click both and get the distance between the two?

(R-click and set circle to Radius does nothing, it still wants to dimension it from the center point)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Sheet Metal Thickness And Bend Radius

Mar 13, 2012

I wrote an app some time ago that swaps out user parameters that drive sheet metal thickness and bend radius.

it appears to work about 60% of the time when it doesn't it does not give any warning but even though the FX table shows the new user parameters driving thickness and bend radius the "sheet metal defaults dialog" thickness input box is grayed out and shows no value what so ever.  Clicking the Edit Sheet metal rule to display the "Style and Standard Edtior" the Thickness and Bendradius still show the Old userparameters.  See attached Pic.

I am setting the parameters as follows.

Replaced "Chan_Th" with "chn_thk"  in FX Userparameters

then...

[Code]

oSheetMetalCompDef.UseSheetMetalStyleMaterial = True       oSheetMetalCompDef.ActiveSheetMetalStyle.Thickness = sThick

[/Code]

As you can see FX reports the change but sheet metal settings does not.

This code appears to work or not at random.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Diameter Dimension Out Of View From Detail View?

Dec 13, 2011

I have a detail view of a groove on a cylinder.  I want to dimension a diameter in which I only see one side, the other side is not in the detail view. 

From some posts I see that I should auto insert a centerline then dimension from centerline then choose options "dimension linear". 

First when I try to auto insert centerlines it does not insert the centerline for me.  Perhaps because my detail is smaller.  If I make the field for the detail view larger it makes a centerline, but I dont want to do that.  I have tried making a sketch of the other side and the centerline.  When I dimension from here I do not have the right click option of dimension linear, instead only arrowhead options.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Diameter Dimension Not Rotating Correctly

Jun 11, 2013

We have been having an issue with this for a long time in hopes of it being fixed in any new release.  If I click Diameter and pull it to the OD of hte circle it shows as in the picture which is what we want.  If I pull it to the ID it pulls straight from that point and the dimension is not level.

The only way we can fix it is click on it, go to properties, scroll down to text, and in the text rotation box, type 90.1 and hit enter.

Is there if fix for this issue?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Dimension Text Size

Nov 25, 2011

I have been working on some spec sheets and, ideally, would like the text size larger to improve readability. When creating text, changing the size is as easy as editing the text and changing the size. With a dimension, however, that method doesn't work. Is there an easy way to change a dimension's text size without having to make a change in the styles??

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Certain Radius Dimension

Dec 12, 2012

Im drawing the image below for school but I cannot figure out how to create the radius dimensions as they shown.

The only ones I know how to do are they .25 and the .75 diameter. I have tried changing the dimension style in every way I can think of. Just to clarify the 1.31 and .63 radius demotion how the leader starts in the center and the arrow is on the inside of the circle yet the text has the extended leader and is outside the circle and the other radius demotions the text is in the middle of the leader is what I am trying to learn to do.

AutoCad :: Make Radius Dimension Inside Of Arc

Sep 17, 2013

The standard in the industry I work in is the radius dimension goes on the inside of the arc. However, AutoCAD defaults the dimension to the outside of the arc. Is there a way to make it default to the inside? If not then this is the issue when I use the mirror command.

Attachment 44015

That arc appears and I cannot get rid of it.

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.)
