Has anyone sorted this issue? Following is my explanation of the same issue, we are using the metric system. ISSUE: For the top dimension set only, all and /or any short dimensions are spaced up above the main dimension set. Eg 2000mm internal wall perfect, 90mm wall each side is not. We have found a work around, which will help demonstrate the issue. If you start with Auto dimensions then move the top dimension set towards or away from the dimension points, the short dimensions will pop down below the line. Remove any and all short dimensions and place back to dimension walls, all new dimension points long or short will look correct as we had in X15. (this is still not ideal as it takes too much time) Our Text Position And Orientation is set to “Above Dimension Line” The work around wont work using manual dimensions. We imported a standard X16 Chief template both Imperial and metric, both did the same thing but worse as our work around didn't work. I now know why the short dimensions are moving, its allowing space for the Leader line, if you don't want a leader line your short dimensions will sit above the main set, that is if you have the text set "Above" I've got a horrible feeling X17 will be the same, seems we may need to change the way our plans are dimensioned and use text on line, unless any of you have worked out how to alter the short dimensions.
