[URL] How is it possible that I place an aligned dimension between two paralel grids and the dimensions changes as I drag it up and down? First of all, in order to be able to place an aligned dimensions the objects have to be absolutely paralel to each other, so I don't get why when I move the dimension it changes. If the grids were really not paralel to each other Revit shouldn't allow me to place the aligned dimension in the first place, isn't that right?
I am trying to change the dimensions between windows with the 'aligned dimension' but when I click on the dimension it either tries to move the text or asks if I want to change the 'dimension text'
Why aligned dimensions won't work with the entire walls option when the selected wall and either adjacent wall meet at a non 90 degree corner? Seems screwy (non-intuitive) to me.
I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.
Working in AutoCAD 2010. Recently I've started to notice that the dimensions on my print are not exactly aligned with the model/object. Only the dimensions seem to be shifted slightly in two directions (~1mm?). On screen, everything looks great.
Typically, I design 3d parts (model tab), then in the layout tab set up viewports (mview), and dimension in paper space...
Is there some paperspace offset I may have inadvertently invoked?
Weird behavior: the dimensions are moved incorrectly,In the attached dwg (and screenshots), as the drawing is moved, then the dimensions are moved but incorrectly. I’m not sure concerning the sort of settings that influence them to behave like this.
I am having an issue running AutoCAD LT 2011 on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. If I have orthographic dimensions on the drawing, AutoCAD crashes if I try to move, modify, or delete the dimensions. Recovery does not work. I am stuck with the dimensions once they are placed because if I touch them, the program crashes.
I do not know if this is important but I will include it anyway: this does not happen with older drawings that were created under older versions of AutoCAD LT. It only happens with ortho dimensions created in LT 2011.
I have applied all the latest patches, drivers for the video card, and even tried opening the drawings in 32-bit mode. Nothing seems to work.

Is it possible to have an aligned dimension where you can type your own text in the field "under"?
It is only possible to do this with linear dimensions but I have a building that isn't straigth and there I have this problem with linear dimensions that are not parallel with the wall.
Is it possible to edit the percision for an aligned dimension. I know that the aligned dimension requires walls to be parallel. But what if two walls are .000000002 degrees off from being perfectly parallel? Would that really be enough of a difference to make thealign dimension tool unuseable? Is there a way to change the percision for the aligned dimension to read fewer decimal places? I have a rather large project that is in the later stages of CD's and really don't want to have to recheck the alignment of every wall.
I'm having a bit of trouble using a curtain wall BIM model that I downloaded from a manufacturer's web site.
It seems like the vertical mullions are not centered on the grid lines; one side of the mullion is 1 3/16" from the grid line while the other is 1 13/16" away. If you look at the mullion in plan, you'll see the same issue. If you look at the profile rfa file, it appears that the centerline is properly located and locked, it's just in the project file where it's off.
If I select the mullion in the browser the right-click, Make Element Editable is grayed out.
If I select the mullion in the drawing area, un-pin it and then right-click, Edit Family is grayed out.
If i select the mullion in the drawing area then click Edit Type, the Type Properties dialog box shows the two parameters in the Dimensions group, "Width on side 2" and "Width on side 1", that are uneven by the same amount that the mullion is off of the grid line. I suspect that this the issue, but these are both grayed out and I can't locate their origin. If I duplicate the mullion, those parameters are still grayed out.I can save the profile, but not the mullion, which is showing the issue and contains the parameters that I want to change. How I can select and edit the mullion?
I am running Revit Architecture 2012 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit... I was drawing a roof and when I finished and exited out of the edit mode my modify tab was gone and was replaced with the "Modify l Roofs > Edit Footprint" option, even though I was no longer in the edit mode. So I exited out of Revit and reopened it. Now my modify tab is infront of my home tab and how this happened or how to move it back.
After creating a series of grid lines. when i try to select any one of them, it automatically shifts the grid line up several feet (in the plan view) and shifts it over to make it an even distance from the next gridline. therefore it is no longer in the correct position (or aligned with the rest of the grid lines). is there a snap setting or something i am missing when i just want to select a grid line without moving it? even with snaps off, it still happens.
I am using Revit 2014. My temporary dimensions do not show. When they do, they only show on one side. I have gone to Manage>Additional Settings>Temporary Dimensions, and tried the different options. It is making it very difficult to place things right now. Is there an all on button I can push? I have also tried closing and re-opening the file, turning off the computer, etc. They were available for use yesterday morning and have not worked since.
I am having a problem with dimensions and making them opaque. I want to use "Bring to Front" to solve it, but Revit does not give me this option.
To detail out my problem: I have a dim style style setup to make dimesion text mask out objects behind it. The problem we are having is that if I draw one dimension, then draw a second dimenion that is over top of the first dim's text the second's extension line is not hidden behind the text. If I delete the first text and redraw it, it will then hide the second dim's extension line. The proper solution is to use "Bring to Front" to fix it. But Revit is not giving me this option. I am using 2011 right now. Has this been fixed in newer versions of Revit, or did the programmers never figure we would need to do that?
I am using Revit Arch 2011 and it is more natural for me to use shift to add to a selection and control to subtract from a selection. Can this be changed and how?
I'm placing lighting fixtures in an RCP, and after I place the light and select it, I only get temp dims in the vertical direction on screen, not the horizontal. Before I click to locate the object, the temp dims in both directions show up, but as soon as I click to place, only one tmep dim shows up.
If I place an aligned dimension from a wall face to the center of the light, and then selct the light, the dimension is not activated to adjust the distance. If I want to move the light, I have to drag it - I cannot input the distance into the dimension.
This makes trying to center a light in a room, or a set distance froma wall, next to impossible and extremely annoying and ecessively time comsuming.
When I place an aligned dimension along a wall in plan view and then select the wall, the temporary dimension does not appear to allow me to resize the wall.
Is there anyway to create a dimension string and then remove individual dimensions from it, while still keeping it as a contiguous string?
I ask, because in our office we dimension from finish face to finish face. I would like to run a single dimension string, but when I create a face-to-face dimension string it also dimensions the thickness of the walls. I just want to see the room dimensions, not the wall dimensions, but I can't figure out how to remove the wall dimensions while still keeping the others.
Furthermore, if this is possible, can I still use the equality constraint? I don't want to see wall dimensions, but would still like to be able to make all of my rooms equal.
I am sorta of new to Revit. I have been using it off and on for about 3 years and I have one burning question. What and how does Revit determine where the temp dimension is based off of when you are placing new walls? I have had the temp dimension jump all the way across a plan to find a wall that I drew 3-4 hours ago and has no relevance to the current wall I am drawing. The space I am currently on has a geometric relationship to the walls around it, not to a partition wall 200 feet away with no relationship to the current space. Yes I understand the building as a whole has a relationship to all parts within, but I think you get the drift.
The window type showed up in the window schedule. But the window dimension didn't.
What's the reason of it? I know you can enter the dimension directly into the schedule. But it would be nice if it comes it automatically. See attached file.
how to change the dimensions of the doors and windows in revit 2013 when i select the door ,, the door dimensions are in like M_single-flush 08153/2134 mm etc but my college project is having the dimensions in inches
