tzframpton Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Check FILLMODE and make sure its set to 1. Also check to see what visual style you're in.... type SHADEMODE and make sure you're in 2D Wireframe. Those are the two first options I would check first.

2om30 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Checked and double checked.. it seems that only one of my drawings is doing this.. i ran an audit and purge but to no avail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The other possibility is the tic mark is actually the wrong one. Did you check your DimStyle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2om30 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I checked the DIMSTYLE and I have Archtick selected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I just did a quick test. I selected Architectural tick in DimStyle dialog box. Next, I created a linear dimension. So far so good. Then I went and checked FILLMODE. It was set to its default of "1". I reset this to "0". Guess what? My filled in ticks now show up as outlines. Try setting FILLMODE to "1" and then do a REGEN.

That was one of the first thing that I did.... Well I got frustrated so I opened up a drawing where all the dimension ticks are appearing correctly copy and pasted my drawings into it and deleted the old one.. Thanks to you and StykFacE for trying to help! Appreciate it...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
