jeremyjjbrown Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi, I'm just starting autocad and I'm finding it an easy program to use in many ways. But, of course I'm having problems solving stupid little problems here and there because I haven't learned yet. We all need to learn sometime. Here's my problem, in the attached jpg there are two dimension styles. The default one above and the one I need to match on the left. Can anyone tell me how to match the style of the simpler dims on the left? Thanks, Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyjjbrown Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Try Matchprop Thanks todouble22 The only thing I could get Matchprop to do is move other object to my DIM layer. It would not select the object to copy the properties to if it was another dimension. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyjjbrown Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think those Dims I am trying to match are actually Leaders and not Dims. I'll just use Leaders for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profcad Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The dimensions on the left are ordinate dimensions. (dimordinate command) The dimensions on top are are linear dimensions (dimlinear command) You can't convert one to the other. You need to use the dimordinate command.

todouble22 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 By the way I'm finding matchprop very useful. thanks! cool glad it was somewhat useful.. it def comes in handy. i'm pretty sure match prop works on dimensions. if they are leaders you can just click one and see if it is or not. you can copy the leaders or the dimesions from place to place and just use the grips to place them where you want. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
