cldryden Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hi All, This is a wierd one.... In my LM plan - I dimension everything and all my tick marks and lines look fine. When I X-ref the plan to a sheet set all of the dimension tick marks become hollow. It also did this when I assigned a thickness to a line weight. My lt scales and psltscales are set appropriately. I flattened the drawing to check that too. I looked but I can't figure it out. I also, tried setting up a whole new file, and that didn't work either. Am I missing something? Can someone help me.

The Buzzard Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I would have to assume that the drawing file you are xrefing to has different settings. Check your settings in the current drawing as they become the default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It also sounds like fillmode is set to 0, Try setting fillmode to 1, Then do a regen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cldryden Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 So... I just set up a whole new drawing with everything new and xref'd. I also flattened everything once again. So the two new files have the same settings. Even when someone else opens the drawing it is still doing the outline of the dim line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cldryden Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I did the fillmode and that's not it either. Ugghh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 What version of acad are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cldryden Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I figured it out. Apparently, the ucs was set differently in the xref than it was in the sheet layout. So. Once I fixed that, I had to redraw all the dim lines. Tedious but it worked. Thanks for all of your suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I am glad you figured that one out. A tough one at that. It was kinda hard for me to understand since I did not see the drawing, But great job. I will have to remember that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord07 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 same situation on mine but i fixed it. i also tried fillmode and ucs scale on xref and layout but it doesn't work what i did was, since the problem was all about dimensions and other anotations getting hollowed, misplaced or hidden behind mv, i went to DIMSTYLE>MODIFY>FIT> use overall scale set to 100> apply> regen> try to save and close then reopen your file again. also try to check if your ucs was in the World.
