AutoCad 2D :: Dimension Texts Not On Dimension Lines

Oct 11, 2011

I'm inserting dimensions and the tics keep coming out huge and not on the dimension line, in fact there's one on either side 20 ft out. If I change the drawing scale in the tab at a the bottom the tics get smaller and closer in, but they are still off the dimension string by a long shot.

AutoCad 2D :: Get Dimension Text That Pull Out To Side Closer To Actual Dimension Marks?

Jun 2, 2011

I'm trying to get the dimension text that I pull out to the side closer to the actual dimension marks. The 2 1/2" and 2" shown have a minimum distance they can get toward their dimensions. I would like it to be about half of what it is, but so far I haven't been able to find the property that changes that.

AutoCad 2D :: Override Dimension With Formula / Function That Relates To The Length Of Dimension

Feb 10, 2012

Is it possible to override a dimension with some sort of formula or function that relates to the length of the dimension?

A simple linear scaling might be possible by inventing a new unit with the appropriate conversion ratio, but that wouldn't work. What I need for the dimension to display a length 400 less than the actual length.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Override A Dimension To Create A Basic Dimension?

Jun 27, 2011

Is there a way to override a dimension and have it shown as a GD&T Basic dimension. I can override a dimension with the text option but not with a box around the letter. It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Lines Won't Attach

Jan 7, 2014

I have made thousands of sheet metal parts and their associated drawings without issue but this time, I made a part and attempted to make a drawing but dimension lines won't attach to certain geometry in the drawing. It acts like it will until I click the second line for the dimension then it errors, telling me the same error message that comes up when you delete a feature that previously had a dimension.

I also can't place an origin for doing a hole chart, for example. It just turns purple and says it isn't attached even though it clearly is.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Disappearing Dimension Lines

May 17, 2012

I have a problem with Inventor 2013. The dimension lines have disappeared. I've been through all  the  dimension styles and layers to make sure I hadn't turned one off

All other drawings are fine and if I create another even using the same model it works just fine but I'd rather find out why than re-do the whole drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Missing Dimension Lines

Dec 13, 2012

I have a template IDW that i use for bearings. When I opened it today I noticed that two of the dimension lines were missing.  The dimension and arrows are there.  I tried deleting them are recreating them with the same result.

The interesting thing is, when I created the dim above the part it was fine,  when I dragged it below the part the lines went away. After that no matter were I moved it the lines would not reappear.

I installed SP1 a while ago and just now installed the update to SP1 (DL20857064.zip). It did not fix the problem.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Lines Not Visible

Dec 27, 2012

We resently upgraded to Inventor 2013 and since then we have been having an issue of dimension and leader lines being hidden under a text box or some other drawing entity.

This is very confusing since the text box does not have a white out associated with it, nore is there a way to put the test box to the back and dimension lines to the front...

It seems like our puppet masters that program this amassing tool where up to something and didn't quite get there.

IT sure would be nice (or an absolute requirement) that this gets fixed so I don't have to learn new hoops to jump through to get a quality drawing out of Inventor.

Apr 26, 2012

How can I print a dimension with its arrows but without it's dimension lines?

For example--I draw a rectangle and draw a horizontal dimension across the center of the rectangal.  Then I flip the arrows and drag the number to the left outside of the rectangal.  I want arrows facing inward from the left and right and the number out to the left.  I don't want a line stretched across the center of the rectangal.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Breaking Dimension Lines

Dec 21, 2011

I am wondering about something called a "dimbreak" command to break demension lines. I heard it has been used in AutoCad. Is it also something available to Inventor users? I can't find anything when I search for it in Inventor and I need to be able to "explode" or otherwise change my dimensions manually so I can break dimension lines as they pass over other dimension lines.

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?
