tombu Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The Defpoints layer is required for dimensions nodes and must be in any drawing with dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I would caution you not to put your dimensions on the Defpoints layer unless you do not want them to print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 No! Never use or put anything on the Defpoints layer, it's used to place reference nodes for dimensions by AutoCAD.

Hippe013 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Does the OP want to bring the dimensions in their drawing to elevation zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) You can do that using the CHANGE command, as shown in the screenshot of my commandline history. The dimensions on the left are at various elevations, before running the commands as shown in the commandline history snippet. Those circled in red, are the 3 dimensions which I selected when running the CHANGE command, after their PROPERTY, ELEVATION, has been CHANGED to ZERO. You might want to use the LAYISO command first, to isolate all of your dimensions, depending on your situation. In my commandline history, I use the shortcut "cg" to start the CHANGE command, but that is a custom Alias which I created. I believe the default is "-ch", or one can type CHANGE at the commandline.

ReMark Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Many AutoCAD users don't know about the CHANGE command. Only those who are old as dirt do.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombu Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Many AutoCAD users don't know about the CHANGE command. Only those who are old as dirt do.:lol: Combining the FILTER and CHANGE commands it seemed like you could do anything! Remember when most dialog based commands started with "dd"? I've still got manuals for release 11, 12, and 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
