Hi, I was trying to draw a circle of certain dia and on marking the dimension using DIMDIAMETER, the diameter symbol came automatically... I want to remove the symbol alone and keep only the diameter. Am just unsure how to remove it... Pls help...

I know it can be done by removing the angular brackets in the properties and typing the text u want... But is there any other way? Is it advisable to remove the angular bracs??

Not advisable at all to type your own text instead of theangular brackets - the reason being that the measurement will not be updated if you change the diameter of the circle.

 

I know there is something in the Properties about a suffix - check if that is ticked or has something written. As soon as my AutoCAD stoppes complaining it has no license ( :() I'll get you a screen shot.

I had typed something almost identical to Tiger but I thought I would check first. I agree that you shouldn't remove the as you would then break the link, however I can't find a way to supress the diameter symbol either.

 

If it was imperative that the diameter symbol MUST NOT be used I would tend to dimension it as a linear distance across its diameter.

I'm like GeeN except I want to use the DIA word instead of the symbol but I don't want both and can't remove the symbol.

 

You could try putting a space in the prefix field and then entering DIA in the suffix field...

This is what I get:

DIMOVERRIDE

Enter dimension variable name to override or [Clear overrides]: dimpost

Enter new value for dimension variable :

Enter dimension variable name to override:

 

I guess I don't understand what it is asking me.
