Chucky843 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi, Im having a problem with the auto dimension feature. I seem to keep getting double dimension lines and the dimension txt seems to be jumbled up. Hard to read clear measurements. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Kiwideziner Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I stopped using auto elevation dims as they were not working, I don't think it has been fixed yet. Auto antything can be between 10% and 100% correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 When I use automatic dimensions for elevations, I have a dimension default set (usually through an annotation set); the dimension default is defined to only locate a few items, and has the font size, and arrow size defined - otherwise, you will get a lot of dimensions that are difficult to read. I typically use the interior elevation with the "NKBA general annotation" and you can see how it works with the auto NKBA dimension; if the annotation set is "1/4 Scale" it looks very messy. See my two examples. The difference was the annotation set with the correct defaults define. I don't do a lot of exterior dimensions; hence my interior example.

Kbird1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Couple of things might help.... in your 1/4 Dimension defaults set the Auto Dim line separation to say 24" or 30 " (default is 18" I think ) and in the Auto Elevation defaults Uncheck everything on the Locate tab for a bar bones look , then add back as needed. Not sure why your stairs are picked up mine aren't in the quick test plan I did........ oh I had to use a multi select (with the shift Key) after clicking on MANUAL dimension on the dim.toolbar and delete them that way .
