rkent Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 DIMSCALE is probably set to a small value, like 1, and it needs to be more appropriate to the drawing scale. Try changing it to 24 or 48 and see what happens. Either dim, update or place new dims. If that works then rather than changing dimscale you will want to go into the dimstyle and under the Fit tab, set the Scale for dimension features to use overall scale of 24, etc. low right corner or Fit tab.

Tankman Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 DIMSCALE is probably set to a small value, like 1, and it needs to be more appropriate to the drawing scale. I'll bet the dim's are there and as rkent states, "probably set to a small value." Zoom in, zoom in, I'll bet you can see the dimension. Set the scale higher! Quote
