Mar 6, 2012C3D 2012 running with 64 bit Win7 all up to date on a capable Dell Precision
I want to add the leader part to the leader that is created when I drag a Station Offset label. This would be the part in a three point leader that goes horizontal for a short distance before the label text begins, similar to how a multi-leader is created. Looks weird having the C3D labels be the only "leadered" noted be without the landing.

Mar 7, 2012How do I make the Qleader retain 3 vertices when I stretch the vertices? It's fine if I do not enter any text with the command and then create separate MText, but I'd like to use the command as it's written. However, if I start stretching the endpoints around on the screen, I will end up with extra vertices in the line, and I cannot get rid of them.

Feb 22, 2013I have an older drawing that was created by somebody else that is chock full of bad CAD. I have to add some leaders to some text and I'm using the "QLeader" command. For some odd reason when I implement "QLATTACH" it won't attach the leader to the text.
Yes, I could recreate the text with the Qleader command but I'm trying to avoid having to do that because there is a lot of text. I'm not a fan of the rigidness of Mleader either so that is not an option.

I don’t know is this a problem with a lispmy company has set up or whether it is an autoCAD error. When I go to create a leader I type LE withis short on my system for QLEADER. You can then draw your leader or entersettings One I have drawn the leader I go to placethe text the problem I then have is that sometime my text appears below theline (pic 1) and sometime appears next to the line (pic 2)

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Add TextStyles In A DimStyle
Sep 2, 2011i 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."

But found no one to set "TEXTSTYLE" pattern to my "DIMSTYLE".How can I do this?
AutoCad 2D :: Set DIMSTYLE By Layer?
Jul 5, 2012The 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.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Leader Text Attachment Results In Leader Through Text?
Sep 13, 2013Ok, I'm sure there is a very simple way to fix this that I just haven't yet discovered. When I insert a stacked dimension in the top line of my leader text, the spacing gets automatically adjusted for the hight of the stacked dimension and it adjusts the leader line up so that it actually passes through my top line. Can this be avoided? I have attached a picture for reference.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Set The Dimscale For Each Dimstyle
Mar 29, 2013In 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.
AutoCad :: How To Prevent Dimstyle Overrides
Aug 15, 2007i'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...

May 23, 2013Recently, 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: DIMSTYLE Reverts To Some Unknown Setting
Jul 17, 2013I 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.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Fractional DimStyle With Inch Marks?
May 15, 2012I'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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Standards Checker - Annotative Dimstyle
May 19, 2011I 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?
