Everything I draw is metric. I've got my templates set up and all my paper space scaled appropriately. All dimensions are as they should be. The annoying thing is when I'm drawing a dimension, the tooltip shows inches and not mm. How to change?
View 3 RepliesI have a hard copy drawing in mm so i drew it in mm. Now i have to dimension it in inches. I have tried several things including opening a new drawing in imperial, changed the units, INSUNITS are set to 1.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I try and dimesion my drawing it brings up 8' as 8" on the dimesion line, and when I dimension something like 1'-10" it brings up 1'-10''' on the dimesion line. Once i click the dimesnion to attach it to the drawing I click on the measurement tool and it bring up the correct measurement. Is there a way to fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way when I am dimensioning something to make it read feet and decimals of a foot for instance.
Instead of it reading 5’-6 9/16” it would read 5.546875’?
I tried a few different things on the dimension style and I can get it to read out in decimal inches (it would be 66.5625” with the example givin) but not feet.
The reason I need it is for a program that we run where we must enter the measurement in decimal feet
When I quick dimension my objects it is shown in inches, I want it shown in feet according to scale, 1/8"=1',1/4"=1' etc.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way, when you are drawing a polyline, to have the tooltip box show the cumulative length of the polyline, rather than the length of the current segment being drawn?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is probably simple, but I cannot find how do display dimensions on both feet and inches.
Currently my dimensions display as a decimal (ie 12.5' ). I would like both feet and inches (ie 12' 6" )
Where do I change this, turn on option?
When measuring the distance between points the distance is correct. However, when I click dimension and linear the text shows a smaller value. They should match.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I have this drawing, which has been annihilated by many different people. One area of concern (among many) is the drawing units...some objects are in inches, some in Millimeters, some in feet, etc...
Question:
Is there a way to change the entire drawing to inches, so if I select an object...any object, properties will have it in inches. Or, if I get area of an object, it will read in square inches?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Autodesk Inventor on a student license, and I use the metric system.
I've been able to change the settings for parts, presentations and assemblies to use millimeters, but for some reason the drawing sheets still use inches.
How do I change the unit settings for drawing sheets?
Out of nowhere my AutoCAD commands such as line, offset, circle, etc will only work if i type in the amount in inches. I use feet / inches when i use these commands. It says specify second point... Not sure what this means. For example I want to offset a line 15'-8". It won't let me do that. If i offset a line at 146" it lets me do it.

I have a drawing that I created (.dwg) in Inventor 2013 that, when opened, is completely blank. However, when in the File>Open dialog box, I can click on the name of the drawing and the preview shows the complete drawing with all views fully dimensioned. I closed Inventor, laucned AutoCAD and tried opening the same file and it was still blank (no views). I then closed that file and open the old version of the file from the, "OldVersions" folder with Autocad and all the views and dimensions were there.
So I launced Inventor again and reopened the offending print and noticed that the model is not shown in the drawing's model tree. I'm 100% positive that I did not delete this model/view from the drawing before saving the file. This is a small drawing and it will only take me a few mintues to recreate it.

Drawing based on .ipn shows (should not show) surfaces used to trim, even their visibility are turned off.
Drawing is normal if based on .iam.
Only one part of the assembly is the problem. Other parts, also with trimming surfaces, are shown normal.
Please see images in .pdf attached.
I have a drawing that I created with acad 2010 that has a pdf xref attached. I just updated to 2013. And now when I go to plot the drawing my xref shows up in preview but doesn't show up on the plot.
I can go back to my 2010 version, and it plots fine. What gives?
It was working fine. Then I just did a simple command (pattern a part) and the entire workspace blinked out. The first time it happened I hit UNDO and it was back. So I got out of the drawing and got back in and tried the pattern again. Same issue but this time when I hit UNDO it would not come back. I closed the file without saving and when I went back in the file the workspace is still nothing but white screen. In the browser everything is still visible except for those that I had already changed to invisible. I tried making an invisible to visible and nothing happened. I got out and tried opening the "old version" which should've been before any of this happened and it is also blank. I can go to an ipt or iam in the browser and hit open and it will open in another screen just fine. I just can't see my main assembly. I have Inventor 2012. It shows no errors or messages. I have even rebooted.
I looked thru the forum and found a past issue back in 2005 identical. I tried doing Find in Window on an item in the browser but for some reason that option is not even in the list when I right click.
I am trying to put dimension on drawing (which i got from client) but when i place it does not show up. I mean i select first object,second object then place but as soon as i place and release mouse its gone.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCAd Architecture 2011. I want to draw a 3d box to a specific dimension while I'm drawing it, much like drawing a rectangle. After selecting the box command my command line reads as follows:
First Corner or [SHape]:
Second Corner or [SHape/Undo]:
Height or [SHape/Undo]:
I don't know how to draw my box to the exact dimensions while I'm drawing without having to go into the properties box after I draw the box .
I am wanting to copy the behaviour of a built in function in Civil3d on another object basically information on the object is displayed in a box next to the cursor cros hair but its not a tooltip.
My question is what is it and can you access it for do you have to create it yourselve.
