EIA Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Is there any way to take out this symbol in only one dimension? Everything I found when googling tells me how to take it out from every dimension, that's not what I want. Quote
EIA Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 nvm I just found this post: How to remove the diameter symbol? - AutoCAD 2D Drafting, Object Properties & Interface - AutoCAD Forums Quote
BIGAL Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Can you not just click on the dim and in properties just remove the %%d or the dia symbol. You can overwrite any dim, if you replace the text with <> it should revert back to the actual distance. 1 Quote
lrm Posted March 20 Posted March 20 (edited) Enter the diameter value in the Text overide box of the properties panel. Note that the dimension will no longer be associative. Edited March 20 by lrm 1 Quote
CyberAngel Posted March 20 Posted March 20 To keep the dimension associated with the measurement, I'd create a new style identical to the current one, only without the diameter symbol. Change the name by one letter so it shows up next to the original in the list, and you'll remember to update both styles if that becomes necessary. 1 Quote
Dadgad Posted Sunday at 12:14 PM Posted Sunday at 12:14 PM I don't use associative dimensions, but I liked all three of those last suggestions. So many ways to skin a cat in Autocad. Quote
EIA Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago I ended up choosing the method I first encountered because: -what BIGAL said doesn't work with diameter dimensions becaused the symbol isn't added with %%c, it is just part of the dimension (it applies even if you only put "<>"), if that makes sense. -what Irm posted can lead to false dimensions if I happen to change the diameter and forget to change the dimension (which, knowing me, that would pretty much happen) -actually now that I read what CyberAngel wrote I'd say that it's my favorite, cause anyone that doesn't know the dov command could see that it is just a different dimstyle, and changing it to the original would put back the diameter symbol. Anyway I already applied the other one lol but still taking into account that option for future cases Quote
