How do you remove singular dimensions from within a string of linear dimensions?
At the moment I cannot delete individual dimensions and am required to delete all dimensions in that string and start again.
How I can edit the default appearance of a Linear Dimension Style. Basically I want to change the default placement of the actual value over the arrow.
I´ve attached two pictures that shows what i mean.
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.
Can we change the dimension string type continuous to other line type without Override Graphics in View>By Elements option in Revit?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.

I create a set of 3D blocks and add linear dimensions to these in paperspace. When I want to edit a block the line origin of the linear dimension loses its original set point and I have to spend a lot of time changing the annotations in paperspace.
Am I using the wrong type of annotative dimensions or have I chosen the wrong angle to add dimensions to my blocks altogether?
Cant seem to get my lookup table to adjust the linear dimension. Please see attached the block.

Currently the standard setting are not what I use and every time I open a new drawing I have to go into amend a new linear properties and also any new linear dims I create has the standard settings.
I usually create one then "match" it's properties but it's still a bind creating the first one correctly.
I would like to know how I can find a dimension that's created with the command (with the internal command name) "Create3DLinearDimension".
This command is used to create a linear dimension on a view that has the default dimension type set to "True".
I'm using AUTOCAD 2011 x64 (E.208.0.0)I get the dimension linear tool;I specify the first extension line origin clicking somewhere;I specify the second extension line origin clicking somewhere; (ortho mode on)
Then I pull the mouse pointer to the direction I want the dimension go and I type 1, because I want the dimension lie down at a distance of 1 unit from the draw (a wall for example).
If I check the distance from the draw to the dimension line (not to the text) using de "Inquiry > Distance" tool I do not have that 1 unit I have typed, instead it retrieve a value like 0.9822, and this value varies on a random way, every time its different.
I'm currently having a debate within my drafting dept. as to which string of dims is more correct..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCAD 2011. When I create a radius dimension on the inside of an arc, and I place the dimension beyond the center point of the arc, AutoCAD automatically draws an extension to the arc and points my radius dimension leader to the outside of this extension, rather than to the inside of the original arc.
I don't really like this. I prefer for my demension leader to point to the inside of the original arc. I can get exactly what I want by going into "Properties" for the radius dimension and turning the "Ext Line" property off.
Rather than having to do this every time, I'd like to create a dimension style that would give me this functionality all of the time. When I try to modify my dimension style, I see that there are just two parameters for Suppress Ext Line 1 and Suppress Ext Line 2. These seem to apply to both linear dimensions and radial dimensions. Is there anything I can do to suppress the extension line for radial dimensions only and not linear dimensions?
So autodesk has added linear symmetrical dimensions. How about adding the double arrowhead that should be on the trailing end
or even better...how about expose the code so we can create custom arrowheads . Also posted on customization board:-

I am using a variable that is being called up from a .csv file for a file name. By default this variable automatically includes a comma due to it being called from a .csv.
How to remove a character ( , ) from a variable? I'm not sure if this is along the right line or not, but i used the READ function to read the variable as a string (i think thats how it works?).
I want to custom dimensions about text of the coordinate in DWG. It should be like this:
I select a point then there displays a string of X,Y,Z coordinate of the point.
I select the second point to place a horizontal line(fixed lenth base the string font size) and then the string.
the whole process is like radialDimension,but what I need is to describe the point x,y,z.
and the drawing should consist of start point(actually is the target point too) and end point and the line connects the two points and a horizontal line and a string.
I think this should be completed using Dimension Class(should be CoordinateDimension based Dimension).
give me some codes. Codes is better in C# of VS2010 for autoCAD2010.
Actually there is a simple solution for this. Using c# to draw two lines and a string. But this is really bad experience when I want to move the string.
Autodesk Inventor 2010 .idw Drawing Detail - Where is the default setting for "Full Dimension Line" so that I can set it to always be on when placing a linear diametric dimension? I would prefer to turn it off on the few occasions when dimensioning a diameter on a Detail View that does not include the center line rather than each and every diameter on a section view. This is necessary because a diameter symbol does not show up in the diameter dimension unless the full distance line it is selected, which is not always possible. I am aware of the Application Option setting that allows Linear Diametric as a preference, which becomes the default for all dimensions, and it is user specific rather than document specific.

We want to use dual dimensions for holes and figured out how to do this by editing the styles. This works great except for threaded holes the dual dimension is redundant as shown in the picture.
Is there a way to not have the dual dimension for threaded holes but keep them for other holes? Having a dual dimentsion for a metric thread or having it printed twice on the drawing is pointless.

I am working in AutoCAD 2008 on a subdivision plan that has several sheet layouts. The roads in the subdivision are dimensioned and have a pavement hatch. In one of the layouts, however, we want to turn off the dimensions, but leave the hatching. When I freeze the dimensions in that viewport, the pavement hatch is left with holes wherever the dimension text had been.
Other threads had suggested going through Hatch Edit > Remove Boundary > Select all the "island" boundaries. When I select the hatch, though, no boundaries show up around the holes left by the dimension text.
Is there any way I can turn off dimensions in one layout without leaving holes in the hatch?
I have windmill and windmills as keywords. I want them all to be windmill. It won't let me change windmills to windmill because it says it already exists. If I delete it, it deletes it from all the images that use the plural keyword.
