-TJ Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Working in AutoCAD 2010... Recently I've started to notice that the dimensions on my print are not exactly aligned with the model/object. Only the dimensions seem to be shifted slightly in two directions (~1mm?). On screen, everything looks great. Typically, I design 3d parts (model tab), then in the layout tab set up viewports (mview), and dimension in paper space... Is there some paperspace offset I may have inadvertently invoked?

Dadgad Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Are you in UCS WORLD? Are you using Associative dimensions? Is your 3D model displaying in PERSPECTIVE, as opposed to Parallel? PERSPECTIVE = 0 at the commandline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Can you post a sample file that exibits this behavior? (only need a cube or something simple) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TJ Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks all - sorry for the slow reply, been out in the shop making chips fly... Here is a quick part I'm modifying this morning - 2 images. The first is a screenshot of the plot preview, the second is a scan of the print (printer is a modern HP Officejet 7500A). I also tacked on a screenshot of the Plot Options Box. Dadgad - UCS World - Yes, I dimension everything in the layout tab; paperspace Associative dimensions - DIMASSOC = 1 (I've never altered the default setting) PERSPECTIVE = 0 (read only) ** PERSPECTIVE only valid in Model Space ** Screenshot prior to plotting: Scanned print - notice the dimensions are offset down/left: Plot Options: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Actually, we were hoping for an actual DWG file not just the images. Much easier to troubleshoot a drawing than it is an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
