Honda Matt Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is it possible for AutoCAD to notify you if you have overlapping dimensions. See sample. DRAWINGS.dwg Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not that I know of, unless you write some lisp code. However, using "Continue" from the gitgo will easier avoid this issue. (At least until somebody modifies the drawing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Matt Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 sometimes when i use the continue it starts from the wrong side of the starting dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Taylor Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Continue will always start on the 2nd point you specified on the dimension you select to continue from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmcz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 sometimes when i use the continue it starts from the wrong side of the starting dimension. At any time while in "continue", right-click and pick the extension line you want to continue from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 sometimes when i use the continue it starts from the wrong side of the starting dimension. Normally, I try to dimension always in the same direction as a standard practice, ie. left to right, or clockwise. That way I pretty much know which way continue will work without having to right clock and pick a side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
