AutoCad :: Imperial Dimensions And Text Setup?
Oct 31, 2011
I'm doing some work for an American company but they don't have any Dim styles & associated text styles for Imperial viewports.
I'm used to working in mm not inches and have all my own dims & text styles set up for mm but none for imperial.
Any template file which has a set of dim styles & text styles already setup for this, saves me a lot of time having to set my own up from scratch!!
I need the text size to be equivalent to 2.5mm high in each scaled vport.

I've completed my drawing (Autocad architectural 2012) and set-up my multiple view-ports (at 1:50 and 1:5 scale) on my title-block.
I'm now going to add my text and dimensions im model space....and that's when the problems start!
I've created text and dimensions in annotative style.
The issue I have is when I change annotation scale from 1:50 to 1:5 my text and dimensions in model space automatically changes (as can be seen on attachment) to a huge scale but is perfect in layout view for differing scales.

How do you change the dimension units from default decimal to feet and inches with ACLT 2013?

I have a customer who wants his drawings in imperial units. (They're American bless 'em). Normally I'd just draft it in millimeters (so no issue with block scaling) and then overwrite the dimensions manually. But just for a laugh I thought I might try doing it in imperial from scratch.
I understand all the scaling and units issues, but exactly how do you enter the required imperial dimensions in the command line? For instance, if I have enabled architectural and inch units at 1/16" precision, do I have to calculate and enter 1'-6-3/16" in decimal inches (ie 18.1875)? or is there some way of entering
Also, is this true of all imperial style options?
What about having two sets of dimensions - i.e. is it possible to draw and dimension something in metric mm then add a second set of dimensions scaled to 1/25.4 in imperial units?

I have had a request to display imperial dimensions using a unit string "in." (no quotes). The default Inventor 2011 display does not include the period. Can the default be modified, or a new option added to the list?

I am using 2012 and i would like to enter my dimensions in imperial into a metric drawing with autocad doing an automatic conversion. So let's say i write this:
12'-8-1/2"
Autocad has to take it like that into the metric drawing then, he has to convert this to 3873.5 mm. Is there a code i can put into some autocad file to make this software work like that?

ilogic for converting dimensions imperial to metric form in sketch, part and assembly level
I have one task in this total models(parts and assemblies) having imperial dimensions but customer wants total dimensions in metric form with rounded value.
mean while all the dimensions directly convert to metric form dimensions are having many decimal places but customer wants ronded value like for example <1.5 is 2 and >1.5 is 1 like this. one more example is 2.56 is 3 and 2.46 is 2 like this.

I need converting imperial dimensions into metric in assembly as weell as part level sketches dimensions.
Any solution for converting all imperial dimensions to metric dimensions in whole assembly constraint level and as well as part level sketch dimensions. Any macros or any ilogic rules?

When the modify dimensions box is open, the 'roundoff' menu gives me 1/16", 1/8" etc, even when DECIMAL is selected as the unit format.
This wasn't happening earlier, not sure what's going on. [in fact in a solved problem from earlier, a colleague found a drawing that had units set to millimeters, had its insertion scale set to inches! Different computer, so not related].

Cannot find a way to set up angular dimensions to show that first zero if the minutes or seconds value is less than ten.
Desired: <degrees>08'05"
Stuck with: <degrees>8'5"

I am after a script or some direction for a script to convert a large number of text objects. I'd like to be able to convert from metres to yards and vice versa. All the text objects would be on the same layer and only contain integers and symbols such as (25) -23.
If the conversion could select all the text on one layer, and then convert and copy to a new layer it would be useful but this can be done manually if needed. Is this possible? I am not familiar with scripting really but can learn what i need to get this script going.

To convert from imperial to metric multiply the length, in inches, by 25.4 (the number of millimeters per inch).
Example: 3 inches converted to millimeters is 3*25.4 or 76.2mm.
To convert from metric to imperial multiply the length, in millimeters, by 0.03937 (the number of inches in a millimeter). For greater accuracy use 0.03937008.
Example: 100 millimeters converted to inches is 100*0.03937 or 3.937 inches.

In our drawing office we use Inventor in a mining materials handling environment. Our output is mainly structural drawings where we require a bill of materials as part of creating a drawing. Whenever I insert a BOM in the drawing environment I get this table which is labeled in a foreign language (it looks like an Eastern European language) and the format is not as per the standard Autodesk installation setup.
How do I either revert back to the standard setup or do a BOM setup from scratch?
We use IV 2013 Professional on Windows 7 64 bit.

AC 2012, Win 7 64 Bit..I sent up this template a while ago, and for the life of me, I can't remember how I setup the text in the title block.I had it set so some text would only have to be changed on the first sheet, and the remainder would automatically populate on a regen.
When I tried to duplicate it, in the field dialog box I can't seem to find out how I got the block reference. Field category=Objects, Field names=Object, Object Type=Block reference.

I've read and watched a couple different tutorials on how to get curved text set up in Gimp, but I really don't understand what the problem is.
First off, in certain, longer examples, my text ends up looking like this:
For other examples, my text ends up being both warped and aligned at different positions in relation to the circle:
What am I doing wrong? I'd really like to start making some circular text art.

I am having a problem in text height on dimensions. Working in model space I go to the Dimension style manager and change the height of dim text. When I dimension something, the height has not changed. This also happens when I try to change the height of the text using the properties box.

I'm doing a few web mockups for a client and have set up a basic style of 'Georgia text 12/18px #333 colour'. I would love Photoshop and Indesign to render the type as dreamweaver. Is there anyway to setup the text to render the same as DW. I have attached a file as reference.

I've exhausted all combinations of appearance/offset/fit/alignment in style properties.
It only happens whenever I try to adjust the position of the dimension (via middle grip). It also only happens with dual dimensions.

Do you have a macro or Diesel command that would select all text or dimensions in a drawing and delete it automatically. I've seen an LISP command, but I know from a fact that it does not work on LT. By the way, I'm using Autocad LT 2014.

Using the same template Text and Dimension style all of the sudden the text is vertical and mirrored and the dimension text is mirrored under the dim line ( above the dim line in normal conditions)
What could be the problem? I did not change anything in the settings, voluntarily, I use this template for years and never had a problem with it till now.
See the bubbled text in the attached PDF.

My boss wants me to look into using annotative text and dimensions for all our drawings. Currently, we have 15 different text and dimension styles depending on what scale we're using.
However, despite my extensive knowledge in most areas of AutoCAD, I have absolutely NO knowledge of how to use it.

I created all of my annotative dimensions in the wrong scale and now in layout view they are too small and can't be seen. Model space was set to 3/4" = 1'. Once I got to Layout View, I realized I did not have enough space so I needed to size down to 1/2" = 1'. How do you go about changing existing annotative dimensions to another scale? I am using 2010.

Is there anyway to generate text based on other dimensions or parameters stored in the parameters manager?
For instance, if I have a line that is 3" long, I'd like to have a note that says 'This line is 3"'. Or, if a circle is X feet in diameter, I'd like to have a note that says 'This circle is X feet'. These are just examples, but I hope you get what I'm saying.
I'm using the new parametric modeling and doing some amazing stuff, but I'd like to parametrize my notes, too, if at all possible.

Is it possible to have text below the angular dimension line like you can with most other dimensions. The attached pic shows my 10 dimension with the type. Under the line and my 30 dimension with type. Under the line but the type. Under the 30 is just a text box I eye-balled in to place it is not attached to the dimension. I looked in the styles editor but could not find the setup option I need.

Is there a quick way of finding all dimensions with a text override.
I am dimensioning screwed pipe, and want the cut length on the drawing, e.g. a pipe that is 3000mm between center of fitting should show a dimension of 2970. After doing this on a few hundred dimensions I want to check that I have not left any out. i therefore want to check if there is any way to check that they are all overridden.

We need to put a text field (email address) and be able to read the contents. I already have the code to send the email, I just need to get the value the user puts in as well as allow the user to enter data.

I'm adding wall type tags and moving dimension objects (leaders, mostly) around in a plan. Occasionally, maybe 2-3 times an hour, text objects and dimension objects suddenly cannot be moved. When I try to move them, they disappear, and upon Regen they reappear in their original position. AutoCAD does not crash- everything else is fine. I have to close and reopen the drawing to regain the ability to move text and dimension objects. Audit sometimes finds and corrects problems, sometimes not, but either way it seems to have no effect on the problem. My Autosave is set to 30 minutes- probably not a factor, but who knows.

As you see in the picture, the word Kitchen appears fine but the red line is where the dimension of the table top is supposed to be. It should show 6999.820mm or something , but it just displays a red line.
I just started learning AutoCAD 2010 through some videos and I came across this problem, how to rectify.
I changed my Units to mm, changed it before drawing.

In AutoCAD 2013, when I try to select a dimension object for moving, erasing, &c, the text disappears. How to get it to stay displayed? Seems to just be when using AutoCAD 2013.
