RicochetX Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I just started using Chief X7 and have come up against a problem. In X7, every time I zoom in close and select an object, the temporary dimension extension arrows block out the view. In X6 if you were zoomed in and selected something, the extension arrows would not show and would not block the view. X7 ends up blocking the view unless I turn the default dimension arrows down to zero. Unfortunately, this also effects all the manual dimensions as well. I’m using the same style of arrow in both X6 and X7. See attached picture. I click one side of the box and the temporary dimension pops up. From the selected line to the left is 12" and the arrow shows. To the right the temp. dim is only 1 5/8" and because it's so close, the extension arrow automatically doesn't show. So X6 automatically turns the arrow on and off depending on whether or not it covers the dimension. Is this a setting somewhere in X7? I took the pictures of the exact same plan, on the exact same line and in X7 and you can see it didn't disable the arrow on the 1 5/8" temporary dimension.

Kiwideziner Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 the annotation set you are using is too large. the arrow size is controlled for temp dimensions by the current annotation set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I think Graeme is right , are you in Plot Plan annotation in X7 and 1/4" annotations in X6 ? (both say "active defaults") M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetX Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 I was using the Plot Plan annotation set. I tried importing the 1/4" set from X6 into X7 and it worked.... until I changed the arrow style to a slash. For some reason the slash doesn't disappear in X7 like it does in X6. I can use an arrow and it will disappear, just not the slash. Is there a way to import arrows from X6 to X7 or maybe edit the arrow in X7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 You should watch the videos Wendy did on Annosets and Defaults. If you set up those correctly (different Defaults, Text Styles and Layers) you shouldn't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkClemons Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This is also a known issue with X7 when using that particular arrow style. Switching to another arrow style resolves the issue for now until a fix can be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity stuff like this isn't on a posted Known Issues page , I stopped using this Arrow when I couldn't figure it out , it would of saved a bunch of time.....
