kwhitt Posted Monday at 05:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:35 PM Dimension Markers in CAD Details keep returning even after I delete them multiple times (see attached). Is there a way to delete them permanently? I've only noticed this behavior in X17. It never happened in older versions. Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely sure, but you can modify the size (radius), color or even linetype of each marker to make less conspicuous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted Tuesday at 03:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:17 AM X17 is the buggiest version in a long while. I really hope they fix all the crap under the hood in the next iteration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just grab the grip on each one and pull it tight so its not as noticable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerMaster86 Posted Tuesday at 11:46 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:46 AM I might be experiencing this in X17 if it's the same issue. I have cross-shaped (+) marker's that keep reappearing even if I delete them. They appear randomly in random spots in 2D CAD Details. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big issue as I am unable to make decent elevations. I only installed X17 about a month ago. I am surprised that no one has reported this previously.

If you get a chance open a ticket with Tech Support and report it as a bug. They usually will reply pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyNDG Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM I have this same issue in CAD details. You close it, then open it later to find more of them have popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted Tuesday at 05:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:41 PM I only see this when using point to point dimension. I’ve been told that that dimensioning tool has to have something for the end of the dimension to snap too and it generates the marker. It sucks that the marker can’t have zero size and it also sucks that sometimes when you delete the dimension the marker stays. I don’t know if this is an easy fix for them but at least in preferences you should be able to set the dimension marker as a super small size as opposed to if you’re trying to place a regular marker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like others are having the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM you know you're a redneck, when your detail plans have a gun rack... (sorry, couldn't help myself) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM I *think* you will get point markers added automatically anytime the dimension line loses the original object it was dimensioning to. For example, if your dimension is attached to a cross section line, and the program regenerates the cross section line, then it will get replaced with a point marker. This is why you don't really want to dimension to cross section lines. My guess is that the dimension lines in your gun rack detail aren't actually locating what you want them to. You might want to post your plan and someone might be able to give you a better answer as to why it is happening. As far as this happening more often in X17, I hadn't really noticed it myself. I would suggest that you report it to Chief though if you ever want them to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
