Unwanted regen (Z, E) in power dimensioning...


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am aware that this could be specific to Mechanical, but I have a feeling it's not to do with the command...?

 

I keep getting unwanted ZOOM E mid command which is proving pretty annoying, although it only shows as a regen in my command line:

 

Command: _ampowerdim

(Single) Specify first extension line origin or
[Angular/Options/Baseline/Chain/Update] <Select>:

Specify second extension line origin:


[color=red]Regenerating model[/color].
Specify dimension line location or [Options/Pickobj]: [color=red]Regenerating model[/color].





(Single) Specify first extension line origin or
[Angular/Options/Baseline/Chain/Update] <Select>:

Select arc, line, circle or dimension:

 

Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

Further to the above it seems to only occur in MS... :? :huh:

Ok a colleague has solved this one by looking up on the Autodesk website...

 

Power Dimension automatically zooms to the extents of the drawing[/font][/b]

[font=Arial]When you did a Power Dimension (ampowerdim), the drawing automatically zoomed to the largest possible view. [/font]
[font=Arial]This does not happen with the normal AutoCAD dimension. You want to know how to avoid this behavior.[/font]

[font=Arial]To resolve this issue, you need to change the value of the system variable UCSFOLLOW to zero.[/font]

 

As this really is a Mechanical specific issue could a moderator be so kind to move it into the Mechanical section?

 

The really strange thing about this is that it didn't affect a new drawing? :?
