AutoCAD LT :: Extension Line Extending Too Far Past Dimension Line?

Apr 30, 2013

I am having an issue with my dimensions. If I have a dimension that is 1'-3" or larger, my extension line beyond my dimension line extends the normal length, but as soon as my dimension goes under 1'-3", the extension line then gets twice as long outside of the dimension line (see attachment). I have researched...and i can't seem to find a dim variable that will let me change this. is there anything to control this happening once my dimension goes below 1'-3"?

AutoCad :: Changing / Scaling Just The Y-dimension

Dec 5, 2011

I have been working on a project and ran into some complications. I have an object that I would like to scale the length down, but leave the height and width as they are. I read around and found out I can use block and use that to scale the object. however, once I used block I was not able to use the Boolean operators to subtract from the newly scaled object. If I hold my mouse over the object, it is a called a block reference.

My question is, is there a way to change the y-dimension but still be able to play around with the object?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Dimension Text Size

Nov 25, 2011

I have been working on some spec sheets and, ideally, would like the text size larger to improve readability. When creating text, changing the size is as easy as editing the text and changing the size. With a dimension, however, that method doesn't work. Is there an easy way to change a dimension's text size without having to make a change in the styles??

AutoCAD .NET :: Changing Dimension Style Property To Same Value Crashes Program

Sep 30, 2013

In my code, I create a copy of dimension style:

 s3 = New DimStyleTableRecords3.CopyFrom(vz)s3.Name = nazovtst.Add(s3)_trans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(s3, True)
_trans.Commit()

Then, in another part of the code, I open the new style and change a property:

Using trans As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction ds = trans.GetObject(ds.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite) ds.Dimtxsty = s2TextStyle.ObjectId trans.Commit() End Using
 
this works OK for the first time, but when I run the code again, I don't create the new style, I just take the existing one and changing the Dimtxtsty property to the value it already has causes AutoCAD crash

AutoCAD 2010 :: Select All Lines And Changing Dimension Style

Aug 9, 2012

I just got a new job with AutoCAD 2011. In the previous version (was using 2008 beore), I could select all lines, dimensions hatches, and then change the dimension style. But with this new version, as soon as I select anything that is not a dimension, like a hatch pattern or a regular line, I can't change the dimension style anymore. Is there anyway to change this back to how it was?

AutoCad 2D :: Dimension Line Gap?

Apr 24, 2013

I need to routinely insert text into or near my dimensions but my dimensions need to be kept as basic dimensions meaning they need to have the box around them as in the picture. What I want to do is what the first dimension shows with the "2x" outside the dimension box but that first one is a combination of suppressing the dimension line and inserting a leader so the 2x will be within the line. Otherwise the normal dimension is what is shown below. How can I increase the line gap from the dimension options without 1) increasing the dimension box with DIMGAP or 2) inserting a line that's separate from the dimension itself or 3) exploding

AutoCad 2D :: Control Length Of Dimension Line

Nov 15, 2013

In Autocad 2006, is there a way to control the length of the dimension line when it extends outside of the dimension distance itself? In other words, when a dimension is small, and the arrowheads flip to the outside of the dimension parameter, the text and the extension line outside of the dimension seems to go to far outside of the dimension area..

Can I control how far outside of the dimension area that this line and text are placed? They seem to go to far out on my drawings. I prefer them to be closer to the actual dimension area instead of extending so far out.. Didn't know if there was a control for this and where to find it.
