Dimensioning - Fit - use overall scale doe...

Konrad's Photo Konrad 07 Feb 2020

Hi,

I have a problem with my dimensions set from autocad.

When I open this dimensions in Nanocad it looks as it should be and as it was in AutoCad.

In the this particular dimensions set one dimension has been set (in scale 1:1) and others use overall scale factor in order to obtain different scales (1:5; 1:10; 1:15 and so on)

When I set in Nanocad dimension style 1_100 Bocad as the result I get 1_1 Bocad dimension. The name of that dimension is correct (1_100 Bocad) however the overall scale factor does not works and it looks like 1_1 Bocad.

However sometimes when I open Dimension style Manager and choose for example 1_100 Bocad and clik on button Set Current, then the overall scale factor works properly.

I do not understand why sometimes it works and other time it doesn't.

Please look at the attachment to see how the problem looks like.

Thank you,
Konrad.

Hello,
in use I would say that this function is incomplete and in the absence of associative dimensions I prefer to put my dimensions on the presentation and change the scale of the dimensions. I copy / paste the dimensions properties as needed

Thank you for your answer.
I do the same, after I put dimension on the drawing, I set scale of the dimension on one of them and then I MatchProperties of other dimensions.
Anyway if somebody figure out different solution to do it I will appreciate any other opinion of that topic.
