I am having a problem with dimension lines defaulting with blue text. I have set my defaults to black but it does not change. Other designers in my company are having the same problem.
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to change the default color of the Dimension lines and text? I want it to default to black not dull green! I can change it afterwards, but can't seem to find a way to change the default color.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwe have just upgraded our 5 man shop to X6.This is happening on all of our setups.
when we are selecting a row of text to edit. if you start typing while the old text is highlighted it will keep the current font and color.
if you select that row and hit backspace to delete a few letters until the text line is empty and begin typing it will default to Arial and make the color black.
It is likely that I don't use dimensioning often enough to get familiar but I think X6 is harder to use than previous versions. I do like being able to pick various arrowhead styles or tickmarks. Still trying to figure out why dimension numbers are blue and how to change that back to black and resize.

Im trying to move radial dimension text away from the dimension line so I can add in text between the dimension and dimension line.
#1 is the default style
#2 is what happens when I do "Move text only", it moves the dimension line to inside the radial and I do not want that.
#3 is how it looks when I just manually edit the dimension text
#4 is how I want it to look
#4 is a combination of dimension and a manually added leader with the dimension line removed. How can I move the dimension text on a radial without the dimension line automatically moving to the inside? Or is there another way to add in text outside the box while having the dimension text offset from the line?
We like to put our dimension lines in CorelDraw 5 on separate layers from the objects being dimensioned. This way we can turn the dimensions ON/OFF depending on our needs. Unfortunately, we find that the dimensions for these objects do not move with the objects on the other layer. We have also found that certain edit operations seem to break the link between the objects on one layer and their dimensions on another layer.
How we can maintain our dimension lines on one layer, the objects on another, and prevent the problems described above?
When placing a dimension with the text outside of the extension lines, it defaults to placing the text either above right or below left of the arrows. If you try to grip/drag the text to another location (i.e. below right or above left) it won't allow it. I don't know if it is following some standard, but in the example shown, I had to explode the dimension to position the text in the preferred location.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just created a dimension style called "Test" and I am now attempting to use its DIMCLRD and DIMCLRT properties without success.
DIMCLRD is supposed to assign a color to dimension lines and arrowheads. How to use this property to assign, say, color index 140?
AS well, DIMCLRT is supposed to assign a color to dimension text. A code snippet on what I am attempting to accomplish is posted below:
Dim tblRec As DimStyleTableRecord = New DimStyleTableRecord()
tblRec.Name = "Test"
tblRec.Dimasz = 0.08 ' Sets the arrowhead size
tblRec.Dimclrd = ??? ' Here is where I am attempting to assign a color to dimension lines on this dimstyle
tblRec.Dimclrd = ??? ' Here is where I am attempting to assign a color to dimension text on this dimstyle
I have attached two jpg's so you can see what I mean.
I have been importing this text for a long time and ever since X5 it is doing odd things. When I select the text to edit it, it highlights all of the text area in a light blue color. Usually I can get one edit done, if I try and select any other part again, Corel crashes and I have to re-open my program. As you can see what I have to edit is these strange characters that show up where the apostrophe's are supposed to be.
I've been in touch with the makers of the program I am importing FROM and they have no idea why I'd be having trouble with their text. They say all they use is Aerial.
I have a rather weird problem. I am using .dxf files as digital overlays on a new optical comparator we recently purchased. The problem is, the cad files we used to create our old mylar overlays is both 3d and comprised of text/curves/dimensions. I figured out the flattening and turning the text into lines and curves, but I cannot find a method to change the dimension graphics (profile boxes, length dimensions, and angle dimensions) into lines and curves.
When I import them into the comparator program only the lines and curves can be displayed on the comparator. Is there any way to flatten and make all of the dimension graphics lines and curves?

View 8 Replies View Relatedit seems like in the past whenever i made either artistic text or paragraph text color default, that was reflected in the control Text using the Dimension tool.
but no matter what changes i make in X6, it remains a chalky blue.
I'm inserting dimensions and the tics keep coming out huge and not on the dimension line, in fact there's one on either side 20 ft out. If I change the drawing scale in the tab at a the bottom the tics get smaller and closer in, but they are still off the dimension string by a long shot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI designed back side of a business card with Arial font, When I printed cards I got horizontal little lines on besides and under text lines. On computer monitor it was only showing clear text in Enhanced view mode. When I changed view mode to Wireframe, then these lines shows on screen also. I only have text on this file, no background or any other object. I tried to change the font to other font types including Tru Type fonts also, but problem remained same.
I never had this problem with X5.

Whenever I use the rectangle tool and place the rectangle I immediately get like 5 or so of these little gray boxes popping up. Within the boxes are two lines, one blue and one red.

2 little blue boxes. What happens when i see these symbols, If I move a line and it's connected to other lines it will latch onto them and effectively drag them. I don't want it to do this, I don't know what to search for, spent a few days trying to find what it is because it nearly ruined a whole development!

Has it to do with settings not mentioned in the dvd? The 'remove mask button' is inactive. I just picked some bitmaps from the internet and tried to make them into one.
