Jun 1, 2011When I pull a piece of text away from a dimension line, is there a way to make the associative line that appears an arc instead of a line?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Set Associative Dimensions To Be Non-associative?
Aug 20, 2009Is there a way to set associative dimensions to be non-associative without exploding them?
I have a large drawing with a bucket load of dimensions. I did not realise until too late that my dimensions styles were set to be associative by default. Now whenever I alter the drawing such as breaking a polyline that a dimension is associated to the dimension sometimes goes haywire. If I select affected dimensions I can see in the properties window that the dimension is associative but the field is greyed out and I can't alter it.
Is there a global or per-object way to change this association? Exploding is not an option.

Jul 20, 2012We have been having a problem with our leaders for the last few weeks. We are running Acad2009LT and Acad2009 full versions. Our leaders are becoming non-associative. I made a drawing yesterday and was the only one editing the drawing. I made some leaders with text. I know they were working fine because I had to move some text and the leaders went with it. This morning when I opened the drawing. Some, not all, of the leaders that I made yesterday have become non-associative. I made some new leaders and they are working properly. Other people in the office have been having the same issue. Nothing has changed on our systems. We have been using the same program since 2009.

Aug 14, 2011I have recently gotten Autocad 2012 and played around. I am trying to figure out how to make the dimensions of a line that you are currently drawing show up in standard units (feet inches). Right now it shows up as numbers with decimals. I tried DIMSTYLE but couldn't figure out what to change.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Dimensions Going All Over Place After Trimming A Line
Mar 22, 2011A coworker and I are having the same problem with dimensions. For example, we have a polyline that has been dimensioned and then we will either need to trim or break a small portion out. When we trim or break the line the dimensions on that line fly all over the place so we end up needed to re-dimension everything. We have had this problem in AutoCAD 2008, 2010, and 2011. Maybe we need to change a variable? The polylines have a zero Z-axis and it does not happen everytime we trim or break but enough to become annoying. Our CAD Manager had as try to disassociate the dimension, break the line, and then reassociate it but that didn't work; the dimensions were still shifted around.

AutoCad :: Line To Exact Dimensions Not Just Change The Number
Nov 2, 2011Is there a way to dimension in AutoCAD LT?
For example: I draw a line and when I dimension it, it comes up as 9.32, but I want that line to be 5.1. Is there a way to dimension this line? Is there code that I should be familiar with? I need the line to be exact dimensions, not just change the number.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modifying Dimensions Over Dimension Line With Leader
Feb 21, 2013For my dimension style, I have my text placement set to over dimension line, with leader, so I can drag the actual text outside the dimension line with a leader attached when necessary, but when I try to move the text outside of the dimension line it always draws the leader underlining the entire piece of text that I have moved. Is there a way to control the leader to attach to the middle of the line and not underline the entire piece of text when doing this operation?

Sep 21, 2012I have a problem with Dynamic Input suddenly displaying dimensions in the middle of a line rather than on screen as I work. What I mean is that if I draw a line the length of the line is displayed at the center of the line. When I zoom in to one end of this line the display of the length of the line is no longer displayed on screen but remains at the center of the line. I use AutoCAD 2008.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Associative Property Of Dimension
Mar 31, 2013Associative property of the dimension,I’m wondering if there is a way to “reassociate” the dimension without moving it.
For example, in the attached screenshots, the dimension is moved downward and then it aimed to re associate it with the object it measures. After the association the dimension is moved toward the object. What I wanted is to re associate the dimension to the object BUT to keep it at its current location.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Restoring Associative Links?
Jun 18, 2012is it possible to restore an associative link? I have a model that is being run by ilogic rules and everytime i run the model a invisible part in the assembly is still visible in de drawing. i can manually restore this by RM-->subassembly--> representation--> and then switch it to associative again, but i want it to just do it automatically.
ia also tried to do it with de following code but it doesn't seem to have effect.
''------------------------------------------------ThisApplication = InventorVb.ApplicationDim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.DocumentDim oCompDef As Inventor.ComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinitionDim oCompOcc As Inventor.ComponentOccurrenceFor Each oCompOcc in oCompDef.OccurrencesoCompOcc.SetDesignViewRepresentation("Default",True)NextRuleParametersOutput() ' use this before DocumentUpdateInventorVb.DocumentUpdate() ' Update now
it will run okay but the sub-assembly still doesn't switch to associative or it switches back after the update?
there must be a way to just simply put the associative link back on.
ps: in the .idw the associative link is enabled but the subassembly is missing his link to the main assembly.
AutoCad 2D :: Associative Dimension In Paper Space
May 15, 2012I created several dimension styles to use in paper space. All of these work perfectly, and accurately if my dimassoc is set a 1. However I wanted these to be associative dimensions. When I change the dimassoc to 2, the associative dimensions aspect of this works, but the dimension text is multiplied by the scale factor for some reason.
For example, the dimensions should read 50' and now read 4800' when was scale factor is at 96 for 1/8" scale. How do I go about setting up my dimstyle to be associative and accurate? Typically I have several different scale viewports on each sheet in paper space, so I need multiple dimension styles.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Associative Hatching - Variable Setting
Oct 17, 2013I have custom pull down menus that I use for hatching. The reason I use this method instead of the tool pallet or the regular hatch toolbar is that I have quick access to multiple commonly used hatch patterns already set up with scales and directions and can pick multiple objects at once.
The only problem is I loose the associativity when stretching an object. It's Associative if I use the hatch command or the tool pallet. I had no problem with this method when using AutoCAD 2010. Is there some system variable setting that has changed?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Associative Copy Object Not Updating?
Nov 13, 2011The assembly in the attached files was working fine in 2011, then for some reason it stopped updating. So I opened and saved in 2012 and it still doesnt update.
Open the assembly, edit the extrusion in Copy Surface Master and change the distance to 500. You can see that the copied faces do not update in the other parts, but there are no error warnings.
I logged with my VAR and they said use derive instead and closed the ticket. Sure derive is another way but copy object with associativity should work so this is my way of bringing to autodesks attention.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Associative Hatch - Select Polyline As Well

Somethings are just acting weird now, like my hatching...
All my old hatches that were associative are acting like one seltions like if i hatch a polyline now when i go to select that hatch it now selects the polyline as well.
This never happened before abd the only way to edit it now is to either make it in the properties not associative then i lose my boundary or just to explode it then i a ihave an exploded hatch...before i made it assoc. and i could just edit or select the hatch only i think its an option setting...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Associative Parts Not Associating In Assembly
Feb 23, 2012I am trying to create a fixture, and there are many components that need to be bolted on. Rather than measuring each and every hole on many different pieces, I tried editing the components that parts will bolt to and did this:
I used Copy Object to copied mating surfaces of components that will bolt on, and made sure that the Associative box was checkedI started a new Sketch, and projected the object's surface into the sketchI created a Hole feature based on the sketch with projected edges from the copied objectWhen I moved the (Copy Object) part in the assembly, the cross part association failed, and the result is seen in the attached picture- the holes do not line up with the copied surface. When the error came up, a solution was to make the feature Associative.
In another test, not moving the part but simply changing the geometry the second part feature updated properly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Clearing Associative Box Has No Affect On Visibility In IDW?
May 2, 2012I have an .idw of an assembly. I originally made a sub assembly invisible in the .iam and create a new base view. The invisible assembly is not there as I would expect. If I turn the visisbility back on in the .iam the part is now visible in the .idw even thogh I have cleared the "Associtave" box. No matter what I do, I can't clear the assembly out of the .idw even if I go back to the .iam and make it invisible again. This used to work in previous releases.
