I've exhausted all combinations of appearance/offset/fit/alignment in style properties.
It only happens whenever I try to adjust the position of the dimension (via middle grip). It also only happens with dual dimensions.

How do I change one of the dimensions in my sketch to be metric while maintaining the rest as a standard dimensions?

How do I show dual dimension in Inventor drawing?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe want to use dual dimensions for holes and figured out how to do this by editing the styles. This works great except for threaded holes the dual dimension is redundant as shown in the picture.
Is there a way to not have the dual dimension for threaded holes but keep them for other holes? Having a dual dimentsion for a metric thread or having it printed twice on the drawing is pointless.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a station-offset label style that will drop the trailing zeros in the offset section - e.g. 15' instead of 15.00', but if the offset is not at a whole number, e.g. 15.01, etc. it will display the entire offset.
I created two expressions: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
and this one: IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)!=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)
I then created two offset components, one called truncated, and one called full, and assigned the heights to match the expressions.

I am having a problem with some dimensions in a drawing. I have a 2D representation of my 3D model (using FLATSHOT) in my model space. I added the dimensions in a custom UCS and everything looks fine in paper space when looking at the TOP view but in model space I notice that the text is offset on the z-axis by a very large amount, like 7 meters large (I'm working in mm). How to fix the offset and get the text on the same plane as the line work?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen placing a dimension with the text outside of the extension lines, it defaults to placing the text either above right or below left of the arrows. If you try to grip/drag the text to another location (i.e. below right or above left) it won't allow it. I don't know if it is following some standard, but in the example shown, I had to explode the dimension to position the text in the preferred location.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a pit configuration, and I use the offset command to offset a base polyline to first 10 m and then 3 and so on.. is there a way to do this in an automatically way, that you can choose the lenght of the offset for each "offset" (i.e. 1st 10 m, 2nd 3, 3rd 10 m, 4th 3 m, and so on.

When I import audio (.WAV) it works fine, but if I offset it to a later frame the waveform moves to the right frame but when scrubbing the audio stays at 0. Making if very difficult to lip-sync. I have tried re-caching, playing the scene all the way through and all other options I have seen online.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem in text height on dimensions. Working in model space I go to the Dimension style manager and change the height of dim text. When I dimension something, the height has not changed. This also happens when I try to change the height of the text using the properties box.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDo you have a macro or Diesel command that would select all text or dimensions in a drawing and delete it automatically. I've seen an LISP command, but I know from a fact that it does not work on LT. By the way, I'm using Autocad LT 2014.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing the same template Text and Dimension style all of the sudden the text is vertical and mirrored and the dimension text is mirrored under the dim line ( above the dim line in normal conditions)
What could be the problem? I did not change anything in the settings, voluntarily, I use this template for years and never had a problem with it till now.
See the bubbled text in the attached PDF.
Is there command or option for masking the text of a dimension? If not, how to get around this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy boss wants me to look into using annotative text and dimensions for all our drawings. Currently, we have 15 different text and dimension styles depending on what scale we're using.
However, despite my extensive knowledge in most areas of AutoCAD, I have absolutely NO knowledge of how to use it.
I created all of my annotative dimensions in the wrong scale and now in layout view they are too small and can't be seen. Model space was set to 3/4" = 1'. Once I got to Layout View, I realized I did not have enough space so I needed to size down to 1/2" = 1'. How do you go about changing existing annotative dimensions to another scale? I am using 2010.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to generate text based on other dimensions or parameters stored in the parameters manager?
For instance, if I have a line that is 3" long, I'd like to have a note that says 'This line is 3"'. Or, if a circle is X feet in diameter, I'd like to have a note that says 'This circle is X feet'. These are just examples, but I hope you get what I'm saying.
I'm using the new parametric modeling and doing some amazing stuff, but I'd like to parametrize my notes, too, if at all possible.
Is it possible to have text below the angular dimension line like you can with most other dimensions. The attached pic shows my 10 dimension with the type. Under the line and my 30 dimension with type. Under the line but the type. Under the 30 is just a text box I eye-balled in to place it is not attached to the dimension. I looked in the styles editor but could not find the setup option I need.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a quick way of finding all dimensions with a text override.
I am dimensioning screwed pipe, and want the cut length on the drawing, e.g. a pipe that is 3000mm between center of fitting should show a dimension of 2970. After doing this on a few hundred dimensions I want to check that I have not left any out. i therefore want to check if there is any way to check that they are all overridden.
I'm doing some work for an American company but they don't have any Dim styles & associated text styles for Imperial viewports.
I'm used to working in mm not inches and have all my own dims & text styles set up for mm but none for imperial.
Any template file which has a set of dim styles & text styles already setup for this, saves me a lot of time having to set my own up from scratch!!
I need the text size to be equivalent to 2.5mm high in each scaled vport.
iam using autocad 2010.The dimensions and the text have suddenly disappeared even though the layers are on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm adding wall type tags and moving dimension objects (leaders, mostly) around in a plan. Occasionally, maybe 2-3 times an hour, text objects and dimension objects suddenly cannot be moved. When I try to move them, they disappear, and upon Regen they reappear in their original position. AutoCAD does not crash- everything else is fine. I have to close and reopen the drawing to regain the ability to move text and dimension objects. Audit sometimes finds and corrects problems, sometimes not, but either way it seems to have no effect on the problem. My Autosave is set to 30 minutes- probably not a factor, but who knows.

I changed my Units to mm, changed it before drawing.
In AutoCAD 2013, when I try to select a dimension object for moving, erasing, &c, the text disappears. How to get it to stay displayed? Seems to just be when using AutoCAD 2013.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a question about Radial dimensions... I am trying to add a piece of text (TYP.) to a Radial Dimension... When I add the text; it makes the text and dim line move further from the arrowhead (see image)
I want to be able to move the text on the dimension closer to the arrowhead without actually exploding it... my current solution is to separate the text (TYP.) from the dimension (see image)
Is there a variable or setting to shorten the length of the dim line on the dimension?
I am using AutoCAD 2011. my scale being off for text, dimensions, inserting scalable blocks, xrefs, etc...
The problem is that when inserting, or creating text (or any of the above) in architectural scales everything is fine, however, when the scale is changed to an engineering scale, everything comes in at 1/12 the scale it is supposed to be - i.e. - when I create text it has to be scaled up by 12, it's like AutoCAD is just reading the 200 scale and not multiplying by the scaler of 2400.
I mean the dimensions in sketches in a model part, not the drawing dimensions which are controlled by styles .
