Looking for help with a setting in dimensions.

[Kay_why_Not]

The company I work for has a standard border preset. We (drafters) take them and modify them to add the blocks/notes we use on a daily basis and use our own modified versions to start a drawing with. We found one from a drafter who's no longer with the company and his version is unique. When you grab the grip of a dimension and drag it to the arrow grip, the extension line disappears. In every other border drawing we have if you grab the dimension grip for the extension line and drag it to the arrow grip there is still a small line there.

 

We can use this other border, but I can't figure out why it's doing that - it would be nice to be able to do that at different times. I'm not extremely savvy with Autocad but I can get around in it. I looked around in his dimstyle settings and didn't see anything different that would do this. The settings in his dimstyles match the ones in our standard border - so it has to be something that isn't shown in those settings. Does anyone know what may make the dimension do this?

 

For reference I've created a screenshot and dropped it here:  https://imgur.com/a/BOVBUBM

The Polaris Ranger 1000 offers a wide range of upgrades to enhance performance, comfort, and utility. Popular Polaris Ranger 1000 accessories include upgraded bumpers, winches, and skid plates for added protection and capability off-road. For improved comfort, there are custom seats, heated grips, and cab enclosures. You can also find storage solutions like cargo boxes and roof racks to maximize cargo space. If you're looking for better visibility, LED light bars and rearview mirrors are great choices. These accessories can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you're using the Ranger for work or recreation.

 

The issue you're describing is likely due to the DIMLIM system variable. If it's set to 0, the extension line will disappear when you drag the dimension grip to the arrow grip. To fix this, type DIMLIM in the command line and set it to 1. Also, double-check the Dimension Style settings, particularly the "Extend beyond the dimension line" option under the "Lines" tab. If those settings are correct and the problem persists, try checking the annotation scale or any specific block settings that might be influencing the dimension behavior.
