AutoCad :: Dimension Not Show To Annoscale Size
Nov 2, 2012
Why are annotative dimension always placed in model space to the created height regardless of the annotation scale I use. using annotation 1:1 or 1:10 or 1:50 my dimension is always inserted to the dimstyle hight of 3.5mm (about 1/8") and not 3.5 x annoscale example 10 = 35mm.
When dimensions are placed using an anno scale of 1:1 and than change the anno scale to 1:10 the dimensions and dim arrows ect are scaled to the correct size 10x value preset in the dimsyle. My text style is non associative and set to 0.0 height.
The only way i can place dimensions to the preferred height is linked to the anno scale is by setting the text style height 3.5 (about 1/8"). but the problem here is that the dim text height will be displayed to selected annotation scale of 1:10 but the dim arrows etx are not to size. I know that setting the text style hight is not the correct way and see why.
All my dimension styles are annotative and and have the ANNOAUTOSCALE set to 1. I have also tried by presetting the object anno scale to the preferred annotations.

I have to deal with the plans of others, some who change the dimensions through text formatting that I can see are fake or incorrect. I used to have a command that would detect the ACTUAL dimension but I can't seem to find it in ACAD 2010. find the command to restore the true dimensions?

I want to be able to use the same dimension parameter as a previous component pattern to create a new component pattern. Is there a way to be able to do this? On features, you can use the Show Dimension and then select the dimension you want. With rectangular patterns I don't see a way to do this and there is no way to even note which parameter it gave it as it is being created. I guess I could name the parameter on the fly and then use that same name, but was wondering if there was a different way.

I'm trying to get everyone on the right page, but I can't find any reference to how to properly show a dimnesion that spans across 2 different drawings (with use of a matchline or on a piping isometric that is split). Would either of these examples be the correct way to show a dimension that spans 2 drawing files? Is there a different way to show a dimension that is to span 2 drawings?

I have a drawing with a detail, I want to hide dimension from the big view port and show it in the detail as you can see in the picture:
I use Annotative dimension.

is there any way I can place dimension on drawing that would be in dual units (in decimal degrees and in deg min sec)?
I did not find this possible so far.

This is the first I've noticed this, but a sketch in an assembly does not allow to show the dimensions as an expression? In a .ipt sketch you can right click and the pop-up menu has an option to show the dimensions in different forms. I do not get this in an assembly sketch.
I do not know if this is me or not. It's just curious that it does not do that.

I have all my dimensions on a single layer but when that layer is turned off, the nodes for those dimensions still appear and are selectable. I looked through the system variables and couldn't find a setting that controls this. How can I prevent the display of the nodes?

Is there a variable to force dimension text line to show? I am using annotative dimensions and the placement for the text is forced to the outside of the dimension if it doesn't fit. I get annoyed on having to move the text to show the dimline above the dimension.

I have a block of a guide sign with directions and azimuth angles. I made arrows rotatable and angles were changing ok. But when I try to rotate an arrow into zero position, dimension shows 180. I need the dimension to show 0 degree. How can I do it?
And I can’t make angular dimension show degrees greater than 180 even if I specify vertex – after rotation angle shifts on the other side. I gave up and used back azimuth.
And I can't make an attachment: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type"?

I am in inventor and I need to draft up some diagrams for a lab report for school. They all have to be to scale so my dimensions will work properly, the only problem is, when I want to take a screenshot of the image to put into my document, the dimensions are way too **** small. I have tried everything to change them and nothing has worked. I don't know where my command line window is so I can't go directly to dimstyles.

An image dimension to a specific size and extruded to a specific height with an empty cylinder through the middle for the wristband to pass through. All edges need to be rounded off somewhat so they are not sharp on the skin.
The face of the bead needs to be an exact cutout of an image that I have. I've used Photoshop to take the image and remove the background, so I have a .PNG with the background removed. I need to import this into AutoCAD and make this image into the face of the bead.

I am using annotative dimensions and when I use normal dimensions the text comes out correct at 3/32" but when I use aligned dimensions the text height is 1/8". How do I fix this?

Whenever I try to dimension a drawing in model space the text of the dimension comes out unreadably small.
I go into dimension style manager, I click on modify and I click on the text tab but the text height and fraction height scale is greyed out!
If I click on "new" dimension style the only option I get is to base it off my current dimension style with the text size greyed out again.
How to change the text size of dimensions if at the option is greyed out?

Is there any way to set that 'edit dimension' window/box in the sketch environment so that it opens to the length of the parameter being used? All my models for our library items are entirely controlled by Excel sheets and the names of the parameters are often quite lengthy. It's very annoying to have to drag the edit dimension box wider each time and push home or end to see everything.

I have an assembly that I would like to show dimensions on an isometric view. I am able to create the dimension, no problem. Issue I'm having is that when placed on a standard lettersize page, the dimensions are too hard to read. I've tried editing the size by double clicking the dimension & editing the font. It doesn't seem to make a difference what font size I enter, the size remains the same. How can I change the text size on isometric dimensions?

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??

I'm currently working on a floor plan and I have my drawing completed, but... my drawing scale factor is 48 and my dimensions are too small to read. plus, my hidden lines are not "dashed" like they should be. my linetype scale is supposed to be set at 24.

When a Basic Tolerance is used to dimension - can the size of the containing box be adjusted?
I understand this is set as a percentage of the text size - where is this value & can it be edited?

I am having trouble changing the dimension text size of any 2d or 3d sketch..
the default has changed for some reason (i might have accidentally changed it while looking for something the other day) but i need to know how to change it back.. I can't do anything without a dimension getting in the way!

How do you change the dimension text size in an .idw 2D drawing? The dimension text and arrowhead size is too small and I would like to make it sligthly larger.

I have the fill color turned on in my dimension style to background. I want to adjust the "masking" box size. Just as you are able to in the text edit-background mask. I believe the default must be 1.25 larger than the text. I would like it to be 1.00. Is this possible? You can adjust the text background mask size, but not the dimension mask size.

When I change a dimension in one viewport the alphabetical text size in another viewport enlarges automatically (not the numerals) yet when I look at the properties it still says the right size. How can I stop this from happening?
