Rosenkrans Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I trying to make a dynamic block which includes linear dimensions. Sometimes the dimensions are deleted completely, when I try to hide them in a visual state. Other times the dimensions are visible in all states, even though it should only be visible in one state.

steven-g Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 It should work OK, can you post a block, someone can try and see what is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosenkrans Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Sure, here it is. The dimensions I am having trouble with is the ones in the bottom. The one on the side works like it should. Plan.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think they are there, but tiny. I assume its to do with annotation scale but as I never use them I can't comment further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosenkrans Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Sorry, I posted the wrong drawing. Plan 2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 are you sure that one is correct? The dimensions don't appear to be connected to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 You have used different parameters and different geometry in each visibility state, you also need to add different dimensions associated with each size, at the moment when you switch visibility state the dims lose the geometry they are associated with. EDIT The first dwg looks to work fine here, how where you getting it to break down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resullins Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I agree with what Steven said. You've got dimensions that aren't connected to your visibility states properly. I don't think he was having trouble with the first dwg, which is why he posted the second one. There are no VS in that one... so that would make sense that it would work.

Rosenkrans Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks. It seemed odd though. I made the dimension and when I tried to hide it for a VS it sometimes was deleted and other times kept being visible in all states. The I saved the drawing and closed it, opened it again and then I could hide it in the vs I wanted, without it being deleted or visible in all states.

resullins Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That sounds like an AC glitch to me... not a problem with your block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
