AutoCad :: DIMSTYLE Reverts To Some Unknown Setting
Jul 17, 2013
I have a set of dimensions, which for the purposes of the 1/2"=1'-0" viewport, are set to a scale of 24x. If I go to adjust some, not all, just some of the dimensions, it kicks it to 576x; this happens if I adjust the placement/grips of the dimension, or even change the precision from 1/32" to 1/8". In the DIMSTYLE dialogue box, I have everything set to the precision and scale I need; I UPDATE all dim's in the layout, and some, not all, still stay at 576x and 1/32".
One "workaround" is to just get all the dim's in place and MATCH them all to the one dimension that is and stays at 24x & 1/8" prec; however, this is a hassle given how many dim's are on this struc. sheet. This is made a little easier using LAYISO, but I want it done correctly as I move forward and not have to keep double-checking every d*** dim before plotting or sending the file to someone else.
Is there some setting, presumably that keeps overriding all of my overrides and settings adjustments? I don't understand how I can create a new dim, and it follows my settings like normal, but I go to adjust it, and it's 576x|1/32", which I cannot track to any setting within DIMSTYLE.

I'm exporting photos from Lightroom 3 to be burned to a CD for a client, and only want to export one set of files. Which output sharpening setting should I use if the client does not know if they want the photos printed on Matte or Glossy paper, and indicated "probably both"? The photos will also be viewed on screen, but prints are the preferred end use.

i created a method that creates a "DIMSTYLE":
private ObjectId CreateDimstyle() { DimStyleTable dimStyleTable = (DimStyleTable)transaction.GetObject(database.DimStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); DimStyleTableRecord dimStyleTableRecord = null; if (dimStyleTable.Has(configuration.EXTDIMStyleName) == false) { if (dimStyleTable.IsWriteEnabled == false) dimStyleTable.UpgradeOpen(); dimStyleTableRecord = new DimStyleTableRecord(); dimStyleTableRecord.Name = configuration.EXTDIMStyleName; dimStyleTable.Add(dimStyleTableRecord); transaction.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(dimStyleTableRecord, true); } else { dimStyleTableRecord = transaction.GetObject(dimStyleTable[configuration.EXTDIMStyleName], OpenMode.ForWrite) as DimStyleTableRecord; } dimStyleTableRecord.Dimscale = configuration.EXTDIMScale; dimStyleTableRecord.Dimtdec = configuration.EXTDIMPrecision; dimStyleTableRecord.Dimlunit =
[code]...
Works well. But I think it would be more correct to put the text style in the style of the dimension. As in AutoCad.
I was looking at the properties of "DIMSTYLE."
[URL]
But found no one to set "TEXTSTYLE" pattern to my "DIMSTYLE".How can I do this?

The only way to change dimensions that I know of is DIMSTYLE. I know how to make new dimensions styles and such, but I am having trouble setting the dimension styles by LAYER.
I currently have a pretty good solution but it would be better if it was automatically set by layer. I just qselect a layer, go to the properties, and change it all at the same time in the end.
Is this possible? Might there be a better way? If you are wondering why I am mixing dimensions, it's because I send my drawings to several different people and companies, and they only need to work with certain aspects of my drawings.

I am trying to find out what the current DimStyle of the drawing.
I have iterated through all DimStyle but can’t find any way of finding the current Style.
For Each DsrID In DST Dim R As DimStyleTableRecord = CType(DsrID.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), DBObject) Debug.Print(R.Name)Next

In a drawing with multiple dimstyles, my dimscale always goes back to (1) when switching from one dimstyle to another. Even after I set the dimscale for "dimstyle 1" and I then set and use "dimstyle 2", when I go back to "dimstyle 1" I have to set the dimscale again.
How do I set it to where I can set the dimscale once for each dimstyle. All dimstyles have the same dimscale.

i've run into this quite a few times where i would open a drawing and there would be an override on the current dimstyle...i would clear the override and save the drawing...another day i would open the file and the override is created again...
i greatly suspect that the annotation scale is the culprit...when i check the dimstyle override the scale for dimension under the fittab is set to a number reflecting the scale...ie if the annotation is 1"=1'-0" it will be 12...if it's 1/4"=1'-0" it will be 48 etc...
i also noticed that an override is created after editing a dynamic block...
in addition to the above, the override is not created if the anotative scale is the same as the "fit" number...

Can a DIMSTYLE with annotative box checked be used in Layout or Paper Space? If so, are dimension at risk of losing their associative to part being dimension or be subject to change their Scale Factor when moving model or a different user (machine) opens the file?

Recently, I switched companies. I am supposed to insert their sheet template into model space at 3/4" = 1' which I have done. There are parts that need to be detailed. On the detailed part the dimensions all come up fine (after altering the scale/dimstyle) but when I try adding dimensions to the original drawing, instead of getting the 3'-0" measurement I should get, somehow I get the measurement for 48'-0".

It seems unlike previous PC's, when i sart up AutoCAD my new set up reverts the location of the tool palletes to open center to my screen 1 even after i have positioned it on screen two.
I understand the tool palette should hold its location in the position i last placed it.. in screen two. as do you toolbars....
Why does the tool palette keep reverting back the center location on my screen, not where it was placed

I'm sure this has been addressed in these hollowed posts but a search didn't turn it up. I have a dimstyle with primary units format set to "Fractional" and would like the inch (") marks to come in. I know i can add the inch mark as the suffix, but is there a better way? Archetectural and Engineering formats both include the inch marks and this makes sense to me. But if "fractional" format is not inches, then what would it be?

I am having problems getting the CAD Standards Checker - Dimstyle plug-in to correctly recognize Annotative dimstyles.
I should point out that this error occurs in both AutoCAD 2011, and AutoCAD 2012 (which these screen shots are from)
My DWS file is correctly configured to have the dimstyle set to be annotative:
Then, I save this file to be a DWT file for our company's standard drawing template.
However, when I configure standards and add the DWS file to the DWT file ...even though the files are identical... I run the standards checker and get this!
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is the CAD Standards Checker not properly recongizing the Annotative Dimension Style?

We are having an issue with the xloadpath variable. We currently have a bunch of .ac$ files in the project folders on the network. We are trying to set the temp xref file location to the same folder as the temp drawing files (located on each user's hard drive).
After specifying a location for these temp files, the location is blank once the drawing is closed and opened again (which means they are in the folders on the network).
Why is this folder location resetting to default (no location given) when the drawing is closed and opened up again? Shouldn't this be the same as selecting the folder for the temp drawing files?

I've been working on a lisp to set up basic settings such as text styles, dim styles, discipline specific layers and things of that nature.
I have a prompt to ask for a discipline designator as a string. I want to have an If statement or a conditional to read that string and check for a "C" if it finds it I want to have it set up a dimstyle to decimal feet ect and if not do it as architectural units.
This is just a test lisp that I'd like to add to the main one listed above...
(defun c:test(/ disc dsnm dsna)
(setq disc (getstring "
Discipline (G,C,S,M,E,CP): ")) ;Prompt for Discipline
(setq ds (getint "
Dimscale Factor: ")) ;Prompt for Dimscale
[code].......

Whenever I insert a block into my drawing from the Tool Palette, Autocad creates a Text Style and Dimension Style,both named Annotative. This happens on any drawing, with any block.
I can purge them after the block has been inserted. They are NOT nested in the blocks. I have tried recreated the tool. Nothing seems to be working.

When I am trying to label an object, surface slope, elevation or lot line distance my text reverts back to layer 0. I have checked the Label style composser and have everything that I see set to the layer I want it on. When creating the label I am even physically on the proper layer but when I make the label it still goes to 0.

In the attached file there are two custom iProperties that cannot be perminantly updated nor deleted. The iProperties are "size" and "purch_qty". These iProperties were created and set using a custom macro but they are of course accessable via the standard iProperties dialog. I can change the values for these particular iProperties but as soon as I save the file they revert back to their original values. Same goes for trying to delete them. All other iProperties, custom and otherwise, seem to behave normally.
The sketch in this file originated with a 2D DXF file for a vendor supplied aluminum extrusion quite a few years back. The original file has been copied (save-as...) to about 20 different files over the years. The iProperties in question were added years after most of the files were created, Each file is exibiting the same problem. These files are used in a LOT of assemblies. The thought of recreating all these files from scratch and updating the assemblies is not very inviting.
No other IPT files seem to be having this issue.

Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.

I drop multiple photos into Photoshop then drag one at a time away from the tab bar in order to place these photos onto one layered image. I can do this but the photo I have dragged down remains positioned where i dragged it to and cant be freely moved to another part of the screen. It springs back like its on a rubber band. This is a problem when I wish to close the floating window and don't have the top right close button visible.
I have to return it to the tab top bar in order to open it then close the window. I previous versions of PS this was not a problem and now requires all these extra steps to solve. Its very frustrating when I have to work like this all day. I have PS CS6 on MS WIN7. Is there a preference selection I can make. I want to make photoshop windows behave like MS windows and remain where I drag them to.

PSP x4 SP1, EDIT view. I disabled tabbed documents. If I minimize a pic or pics and then restore, the pic or pics restore into tabs. When I subsequently go to Window >Tabbed Document and click, all of the pics cascade (ignoring my preference to have the MDI windows fit the pictures). The Window > Tabbed Documents command is never unchecked throughout all of this. I can't make it be unchecked - it remains checked.
Palettes that I don't use open seemingly at random on my custom workspace after restarting the software, even though I have the NEVER automatically show palettes option set in preferences
I had given up on x4, but I thought I'd try the service pack. Corel did fix the copy/paste offset error. But, after a few hours of configuring (again) and playing with SP1, I still think that x4 is not ready for prime time. I feel that it is a waste of upgrade money and a regrettable waste of my time.
