It is alerting you to a dimension which is non-associative, or which has become disassociated from the intended geometry in your modelspace. Quote
mitchkai Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 when i erasing it, my pipe also erase. do i have other option to remove that warning? Quote
Dadgad Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 when i erasing it, my pipe also erase. do i have other option to remove that warning? Yes, you do, as described in the image, set your ANNOMONITOR to 0. Quote
mitchkai Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 I type annomonitor and set it to 0 but still nothing happens.. Quote
Dadgad Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I type annomonitor and set it to 0 but still nothing happens.. Try doing a REGEN. Quote
mitchkai Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Yes i did type regen after i set it to 0 Quote
ReMark Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Take a look at the bottom of your screen (left hand side). See the icon that looks like a big white cross? That toggles the Annotation Monitor on/off. Give it a try. Quote
mitchkai Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 i did but again nothing happens after regen..for clarification i am working with pipe and it hasn't dimension indicated in pipe drawing.. Quote
ReMark Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Attach a copy of the drawing to your next post and we'll take a look at it for ourselves. Is this typical of the symbol you are seeing? Edited September 23, 2013 by ReMark Quote
SLW210 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Are you using Civil3D, MEP or some 3rd party add-on? Quote
RobDraw Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I see a couple disconnects here. The OP said a triangle with an explanation point. Also, Dadgad said associative dimension and then pointed to a variable for Annotative settings. Another thing, the OP said that there is no dimension. Mitchkai, are you drawing 3D pipe or is this linework? A screenshot of the offending triangle would be of some help. Quote
ReMark Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) If the OP is using AutoCAD MEP the triangle might be controlled by the SOLUTIONTIPS variable. Edited September 24, 2013 by ReMark Quote
RobDraw Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Being that this is the beginners forum, it is not a good idea to turn solution tips off. It's like disconnecting your check engine light. It is a much better idea to find out what the error is and apply a fix. Quote

Mitchkai, are you drawing 3D pipe or is this linework? A screenshot of the offending triangle would be of some help. The first time I encountered an unidentified exclamation point inside a triangle was when I started using Autocad 2013, and the default setting for ANNOMONITOR had been switched from 0 to 1 OOTB. It really confused me pretty good. I know squat about Annotativity and Associativity, but the SYSVDLG description does address non-associativity. Quote
RobDraw Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 That may be a typo. Without experimenting, I couldn't tell you for sure but I think that should read "non-annotative" as that is what the variable is addressing, not associativity. Quote

You could well be right, probably are, I have no horse in this race, just know what is written, never use them. I wouldn't be surprised, I have caught a few other goofs in the SYSVDLG descriptions, which is, I suppose to be expected, or should I say endured. Edited September 24, 2013 by Dadgad Quote
RobDraw Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Really, typos within a professionally designed piece of software? Especially one by such an elite company like Autodesk. Don't they have proofreaders? Quote
nestly Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Since the OP referenced a "pipe" I'm inclined to agree with those who suggested a vertical version of AutoCAD. Edited September 23, 2013 by nestly Quote

Don't they have proofreaders?[/quote Not meant to imply that there should be typos, just that in an imperfect world, and software things happen. When was the last time you installed a new version, and it was perfect, right out of the gate? Me too. One of the other ones I have noticed is a reference to the XREFNOTIFYTIME system variable, which when entered at the commandline is not recognized. Typically focused nestly video, cutting right to the chase, excellent! Edited September 24, 2013 by Dadgad Quote
