crosten2 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Hi guys Can you guys help me on how I can adjust my dimension line to the drawing with the white background ? thank you Quote
SLW210 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 In properties turn off the appropriate Dim Line. You could also set this up in your DimStyle. Quote
crosten2 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 I tried switching of dimm line, when i do this the arrow will dissappear. Quote
jgbgod Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 right click your dimension and find the "dim text position" and select move with leader. That ought to do it. Quote
Dana W Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Can you attach your drawing here? I have been trying to re-create your problem and cannot do it. When my arrows are outside the ext lines so are the dim lines, when the arrows are inside, so are the dim lines. When I move the text to beside, a line only appears outside on the same side as the text. I see the vertical dimension off to the right does not have the dim line extended outside of the extension lines. I'd like to try and figure this out for myself too. If you cannot post the same drawing, open a new one, draw a small square at about .130, dimension it, see if the problem occurs and post that one if it does. Edited February 4, 2012 by Dana W Quote
Dana W Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 You are not using a "User Arrow" are you? Is that the default AutoCad "Closed Filled" arrow? Quote
Dadgad Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 The only way I can see is to draw the dimension first with a smaller text size, then using the TEXT HEIGHT property on the quick properties palette, upsize the text, and the arrows will not flip outside the extension lines. Quote

Tried following your instruction above using smaller text before dimensioning. The arrow is still outside the extension lines Quote
crosten2 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 I have attach the drawing, just click the attach file. Can you attach your drawing here?

crosten2 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 Hi guys How do i minipulate the dimension line in such a way that the picture with the black background looks like the one witht the white background ? I have spent a lot of time on variable to get rid of the middle line but cannot get it to look like the picture on the right. Thank you Quote
Dadgad Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Sorry, I already saw the .gif, what I meant was the .DWG file. Quote
nestly Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Dimstyle > Modify > Fit tab Click the different "Fit Options" on the left, and watch the preview window on the right side. You'll figure out which one gives the results you prefer. Quote
nestly Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 ... also make sure the "Draw dimension line between Extension lines" is unchecked at the bottom right under "Fine Tuning" Quote
Dadgad Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 On the FIT tab > fine tuning uncheck "draw dimline between extension lines". Whoops, seems to be a bit of an echo in here. Yeah, what nestly said! Quote
Dana W Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 The answer is pretty much the same as the answer in your other thread that is almost exactly the same. Quote
SLW210 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I have combined your two threads. Please do not start new threads for the same question. If you would simply post your drawing file or a similar drawing file. Quote
