Dimension

I am trying to dimensions in my drawings, but they are taking a long time to load the command and then to do the command. Any ideas on why this is and how I can change it?

My first guess would be a faster computer with more processing power, but I don't know what you currently have so I can't tell you if that will fix it or not.

Maybe this could alleviate some speed issues. Try doing a command line purge by prefixing the command with a minus sign: i.e. type -PURGE

Then purge the RegApps.

Maybe your computer is searching for a particular text style to be used with your dimensions and is having a difficult time locating the font.

Thanks,

But none of that worked. I know that my computer is fast enough. I just have a dimensioning problems on a couple drawings that I open. It seems to be if they were opened on 2008 and I'm using 2009 there is an issue.

Scale Lists maybe? 2008 has some serious issues with AnnoScales, if you haven't got its newest service packs. This was always making drawings go slow like molasses - you had to clean up the scale list which could run into 10,000's and could even make ACad crash.

 

Try the command line version (note minus sign prefix) -ScaleListEdit and then use it's Reset option. That's the quickest way to get rid of the unwanted scales.
