CADPOLE Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Background Info: I am fixing about 10 drawings with to our clients standards, which are no where close to normal drafting standards. This client likes their titleblocks droped in to model space and scaled to fit, unless it has multiple scales on the drawing then it's O.K. to do it the correct way. I know right!! Anyway I am trying to get some drawings ready for IFC. The problem: The person that set these dwg's up did the dimentions in paperspace and now that I have them in model space I can't get the text size to change. I can't change them in dimention style format box because it is grey'd out. I tried to change the overall scale in the dim style box to no avail. I also tried highlighting and changing the text size in the properties box but alas that to failed. I would ask the guy but he has been out sick for a week. Anyone got any ideas? Quote
CADPOLE Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 It's like the dimention size is locked and I can't figure out how to unlock it. Quote
MSasu Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 It may be that the height is imposed by the text style (see STYLE command) - try to set it there as 0. Quote
steven-g Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Could you post the drawing or copy a few dims into a blank drawing and post that, could the dims be on a locked layer? Quote
JD Mather Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 It's like the dimention size is locked and I can't figure out how to unlock it. I am not the best speeler myself, but anyone in this field should learn the correct speeling of dimension. I am surprised that dimention was not underlined in red when you typed it out. Nothing bothers me more than when a student turns in a Word doc to me with words that were pointed out by the software as incorrectly speeled. Quote
CADPOLE Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 MSasu, you are the winner!!! I didn't even think about the text style. You should get some cozonac for this. (I miss my bunică) Quote
CADPOLE Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 JD, I have 5 foster children (all from the same family) I get into work at 4:30 in the morning and have been putting in 10 hr days for over a month. After I get off work, my job really starts there are; wrestling matches, soccer games, guitar lessons, ballet lessons, dinner, homework, dishes, house work, grocery shoping, laundry, etc. If I am really lucky I get 5 hr of sleep a night. If it was a DWG I would have ran it through spell check but frankly, unless it is criticle, I haven't got time . If it bugs you that much, you have too much time on your hands. Quote
