AutoCad 2D :: Aligned Dimensions Versus Rotated Dimensions
Oct 9, 2013Also be sure to pick the 'aligned dimension' method and not the 'linear dimension'. I hope that works in Revit as it does in AutoCAD.

AutoCad :: Dimensions On Print Not Aligned With Model / Object - All Is Well On Screen
Sep 5, 2012Working in AutoCAD 2010. Recently I've started to notice that the dimensions on my print are not exactly aligned with the model/object. Only the dimensions seem to be shifted slightly in two directions (~1mm?). On screen, everything looks great.
Typically, I design 3d parts (model tab), then in the layout tab set up viewports (mview), and dimension in paper space...
Is there some paperspace offset I may have inadvertently invoked?
AutoCad 2D :: Multiple Rotated Viewports With Upside Down Dimensions?
Dec 12, 2013I have two viewports, one that is not rotated at 1:50 scale, the other rotated at 1:20 scale, and using associative dimensioning, therefore viewing the same model object with two associative scales. The rotated viewport is showing the dimenions upsidedown since it is rotated more than 180deg. If I modify the dimension properties to Left to Right instead of Right to Left, it rotates my other unmodified viewport. The only way right now to have the dimensions showing properly, is to print the first pages with the unmodified viewports, then modify the dimension properties, and then print the rotated viewport pages.

Revit :: Aligned Dimensions Shift While Moved
Dec 11, 2011[URL] How is it possible that I place an aligned dimension between two paralel grids and the dimensions changes as I drag it up and down? First of all, in order to be able to place an aligned dimensions the objects have to be absolutely paralel to each other, so I don't get why when I move the dimension it changes. If the grids were really not paralel to each other Revit shouldn't allow me to place the aligned dimension in the first place, isn't that right?

AutoCAD LT :: Dimensions Not Adding Up
Sep 18, 2013Im making a window that is 300” I divide it up into 9 equal parts autocad lt 2012 divides it up @ 31 1/8” that is 280 1/8”.
The mullions are two inches wide and there is 10 of them that equals 20” the caulk joints are 3/8” there are two of them that equals 3/4".
So 280 1/8” + 20” = 300 1/8” + 3/4 “ = 300 7/8”

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: How To Round Down Dimensions
May 9, 2013How to round down dimensions. I see some topics with writing LISP codes to do it but I have Autocad LT and those cant use LISP codes right? Ive also been looking into the Round off variable in the Primary units for the dimension style but its a little confusing. What I want to do is just round down my dimension at the given precision.
Lets say I have my precision set to .000 (even though I may have dimensions with .00) I want my dimension of 2.875500 to round down to 2.875 and not up to 2.876 then I also have a dimension of 2.90952929 and I want that to round down to 2.909 and I can not find a way of getting both of these to round down with the same setting on the same dimension style. Basically I just want to truncate my dimensions.

Jul 23, 2012I 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.

AutoCad :: Cannot Add Dimensions On Z-axis
Mar 21, 2013I'm currently making some drawings of a piping system for an oil rigg process system I made in Inventor. I was now supposed to draw an Isometric drawing of some pipes, but i don't think i knew what isometric meant so i made it in 3D. So i made a full xyz 3d drawing instead of drawing 3d on an xy axis. Still, i don't think there will be problems because i'm only supposed to take pictures of this and add it to a repport.
The problem i have is adding dimensions to the lines on the z-axis, they keeb gluing to the xy-axis. It's probably a stupid question, but I just can't seem figure it out. I added a picture of it. Now if i made an ISOmetric drawing i would not have had this problem, hope i don't have to start again.

AutoCad :: Dimensions On 3D Objects
Dec 5, 2011I have made a few cabinets (in 3d) on Autocad, but I was just wondering if there is a function that can tell you how large each of the pieces are in each direction (Have originally drawn in 2d and then extruded). Either each piece individually or a group summary.
Even if I go to the properties of each piece, it only gives me the extruded height (i.e. only a value in the Z-direction, gives 0 in the X and Y).
Is there any way to do this apart from the normal linear dimension function?
AutoCad 2D :: Dimensions Moving On Their Own?
Sep 3, 2013I am currently dimensioning some floor plans and I have noticed that sometimes after a save or coming out of x-ref edit in place some dimensions will suddenly move sometimes just one node point sometimes both. I am talking about a 100m move not just slightly out of line!
The floor plan consists of an x-ref for the structure internal and external An X-ref for the stacks.
All partitions, electrics, doors, bathrooms furniture etc are directly drawn into this drawing so dimensions should be snapping to elements within the drawing occasionally it will be a junction between x-ref elements and non-xref (but still the end point of a line.) Dimassoc is set to 2 All dimensions are annotative and are in model space.
They are mostly drawn using the continue dimension command.It usually happens with 2 or 3 dims at a time but one time there were about 20 and I lost the will to live.
