:huh: I've created a block that has leaders, text & dimensions contained within. The block drawing is unitless. It all inserts just fine except the dimensions. They come out something on the order of 12 sizes too large. How do I fix this? already tried 'insunits', 'insunitsdefsource', and 'insunitsdeftarget' set to 0 & 1. Neither works.
I'm using ADT 2004 on an XPsp2 system.
Thanks in advance.

I might be wrong but I beilieve when dims are inserted they take the properties of your current dimstyle.. So you might want to check that. But like I said i might be wrong.

:geek: Nope not in this case. we use dim & text styles built for each scale... no matter what drawing i insert a dim in, style 316-16 is text that prints to 3/16" in a viewport scaled to 3/4". i think i fixed the problem, though. there was a system variable set incorrectly in the base drawing i reset it and everything seems to work. still think it odd, though, that the dim text was the wrong size, while the arrows and leaders were all correct...
thanks,
