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.

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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhenever 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?
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 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 .
Is there any way to change the size of dimension text in sketch? My students cannot see the dimension when I demonstrate the sketch.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 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!
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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor 2013. For some reason I cannot dimension some of the model entities in the drawing views in an idw file. I can retrieve the model dimensions but it is usually easier to create the dimensions I need in each view. I can select the line, curve, etc. when dimensioning but nothing happens.
After I think about it. What I cannot dimension are lofts that I created with rails. These rails were made up of lines and curves, not polylines. How do I get the sketches for the rails I used for lofting to display in the drawing views so I can dimension those sketches.
I need to modify some of the dimensions (text only) in a standard template of outline drawing for different cases. I tried to identify the dimensions which need modification by using handle.
But after that i have no idea how to change the text in it.
I have a complete gearbox drawing from a previous work and I would like to use it again but with different dimensions.
If I edit the dimensions and enter different values its not enough because when I hit the inquiry tab and dimension, obviously it will be the old measure value.
My question would be how to change the whole drawing to a new dimension values? I think there is no need to redone the whole gearbox again with new dimensions. My drawing is in metric (millimeters).
I created a new dimension style in a drawing. But i can't find this new create dimension style in othes drawing. I am wondering how can i create my own dimension style and could be use in every drawing as my own style?
