HumbleChief Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I've got a setting or something fundamentally wrong and cannot figure it out but I consistently get double measurements and can't figure out why. Al of the defaults settings have me bit confused but it shouldn't be hard to understand but I am not getting something. Layers? Defaults? Preferences? Can't duplicate if I tried but can't figure it out. THANKS AUTO DIMS.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Larry, Are you dimensioning different plans ( Architectural, Structural, Plumbing ) with the same Layer ? The Active Defaults for each should specify the LayerSet and what Layer Dimensions should be placed on. That seems to me to be a potential for why you are getting this behavior.

Joe_Carrick Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Or maybe the current LayerSet has all of the dimension Layers displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Thanks Joe but this is the simplest beginnings of an as built floor plan using a single Layer, and all the dims are on that single Layer. I can turn of auto dims, delete everything then turn auto dims back on but I don't know what happens next to create those multi dims. Confused...

HumbleChief Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 THANKS Eric, I'll take a look at those 2 conflicting defaults and how the plan might have gotten there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 I've had it happen a couple times but can't seem to reproduce the problem. Here another thread regarding same. Almost certainly user error and fairly quick fix but frustrating not understanding the phenomenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution robdyck Posted September 30, 2021 Solution Share Posted September 30, 2021 Holy Cow! No doubt you're confused! Maybe delete 90% of those... At any rate your trouble is you have more than one type of dimension set to auto-refresh. I blame Ken Suffridge, a no-good trouble maker for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob, it was indeed 2 dims that were set to auto refresh and through some user error refreshed both at the same time. And yes, got too many sets left over from 20 years of Chief. Thanks again, much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
