Dimensioning on autocad 2010

Constrain the angle of the first and second leader segments. The basic types of dimensioning are linear, radial, angular, ordinate, and arc length. Use the DIM command to create dimensions automatically according to the object type that you want to dimension. Solved Examples for You Solution: Technically the Isometric projection is the two-dimensional representation for viewing a 3-D object with the three primary lines, which are equally tilted away from the viewer.

Thus an example of isometric projection is the technical drawing of a house or building. You can now select isometric plane for your drawing by pressing the F5 key. The three Isoplanes available for selection are Isoplane top, right and left.

Press F5 key to activate Isoplane top and then select line command and click anywhere in the drawing area to start your line. In the Text Style dialog box, select the text style to modify, and enter the text height in drawing units in the Height box. In the dimension manage under the text tab, what is your text height set to in that dialog? If it is. And in STYLE dialog set your text height to 0, and the dimension height will control your text universally in that drawing.

Each drawing includes a layer named 0. Message 3 of I dont think you understod my problem. The size of the dimension lines, text and arrows remains the same. Command: Dim Dim: update Select objects: select the dimension I want to update to 50 Now the sizes changes on the selected dimensions but as i continue to set dimensions i have to repeat this procedure all the time.

Message 4 of When AutoCAD went to style based systems about years ago, they started revising the way certain variables worked. Scaling variable were initially a big part of this change, but eventually, you had lots of styles floating around, so they started to aggregate some of the features of these styles together.

One of the big changes that happened to the scaling variables in the styles about 5 years ago was that they changed to incorporate "universal" scale factoring, what we call annotative scaling.

When they went on to fully integrate annotative scaling, the old scaling variables had to be revised to have new functions. Most of them now work to scale objects of their type relative to the current drawing "scale", as set by your annotative settings.

You will find that as the software "evolves", there may be even more of these changes. You just have to learn to adapt and keep track of these changes. Once I got used to the way the new scaling systems work, I would hate to go back to the way it was. Message 5 of I learning everyday still and mostly in Inventor There still not an answer of my problem. So how would you change the size of the dimension? Se attached pictures how it now looks! Preview file. Message 6 of The beuty of AutoCad is that it is so easy to make your own drop down menues.

I have program my own menues for handle all scales. Se attached picture In 1 click I can change all the scale sizes for dimension, lintype scale, template and text. Cant be more user friendly and its a petty its no longer works with !! Message 7 of Just changing your DIMSCALE variable is not going to change the appearance of dimensions already placed in your drawing, only new dimensions that have yet to be created.

Your best bet is to change the dimscale via the DDIM command to change the actual dimension style properties see attached. Message 8 of Menus can easily become obsolete though and rely on the expertise of the menu writer in understanding what is actually accomplished with a command sequence.

Since those sequences may change with each version and with various system variable combinations, things happen to break these customizations. To manage collections of dimensions, use dimstyles.

Modify the dimestyle setting of the dimscale rather than just issuing the dimscale command. Dimscale changes create dimstyle overrides which only affect future dimensions but using ddim to modify existing dimension styles will change dimensions that use those dimstyles. Using the annotative scaling system is also an option rather than to use dimscales. If a dimstyle is set annotative then changes to dimscale cause an error to be flagged and the change to be ignored.

Limit the number of leader points. Constrain the angle of the first and second leader segments. The basic types of dimensioning are linear, radial, angular, ordinate, and arc length.
