Leader length changes from .25 to 1.0, PC Shark10 Pro 1368.
Tried saving before dimensioning, same if checkbox for Scale values with text size is
checked or not.

Hello Larry

Is this inside a draw view? What is the scale of eh draw view?

Hi Jason,
The draw view is .25 (Best Fit), if I make the leader length .250,
it puts the leader lines between the extension lines.
If I use the 1.0 (default) the 2 is inside the extension lines, and the leader lines
outside.
Maybe there is a way to always have the leader lines inside the extension lines,
if space allows?

The size will be calculated for the right print size. If you use a draw view with the scale 1 the value stay. If you change the scale of the draw view the print sizes will be destroyed and a restoration of the needed print size is impossible. Better delete all dims and create new when you need a change of the scale. Create only dims when the setup of your scales finished. Use pixel values if possible. My line weight and text size values are always pixel values because this is printable and good visible on the monitor when using much zoom.

This behavior is a little bit annoying, but we have to live with it.

I would make a custom dimension standard to use, then the values won't change. Use the existing ansi buy selecting it then go to the bottom of the list to dimension standard and open the dialog and change what you need and save it with a different name. Unselect everything then in the inspector select you new dim standard as default.

Thanks Jason,
I will just keep changing as I move along with the drawing,
as I've been doing for the last 14 years or so.
Enclosed is a video showing the same way of doing things from CU 2.0

Please set up a custom dimension style and it will stop you from having to do that. The custom dimension styles were added and they work well.

Hi Jason,
Tried this before, but gave it another shot as per your suggestion.
I had hoped that it would work.

What was the default dim standard at the time before you created the model to sheet? It seems it's remembering the dim standard that is default at the time the model to sheet is created. Similar to when you use custom pen styles the ones selected in the model to sheet dialog are the default every time a view is regenerated.

Regards

Jason

Hi Jason,
I tried again on a new file, same results.
Larry
Also tried in Shark10 Pro PC Ver.9, same results.


For what it's worth, Custom Dimensions works
as expected in CU2.0

Go on a 1:1 Space and create a new dim standard with a good size. When you take this standard in scaled draw views, the values will be recalculated for the same print size (print size = size x scale) like it was in 1:1. Maybe this behavior was in CU2.0 different. When you change the scale after the dims placed the size will be wrong calculated. When you change the dim standard after dims placed, the size will be also wrong calculated, not as print size, as 1:1 size. To get the right print size, take the recalculated size of new dims and don't do anything which can destroy the sizes. Use always the Page Layout Scale of 1 to get correct print sizes. Sorry, i have to learn english, i hope you can understand what i say.

In other programs is in this case always dim size=print size, but not in Shark. Let's waiting for Shark 11.

Hi MPSchmied,
Your method works on some dimensions, but there are so many dimensions ranging from long
to short , that most need some sort of adjustment.
All that I am really asking for is, if there is room between the extension lines, place the leader lines
and the value, between the lines.
Not just the value and two way too long leader lines with arrows outside of the extension lines if there is plenty of room inside the lines.
One thing that I have been doing for arrow size is change the Diameter/Length, and make the Angle
18.5 degrees, this works for me.
I’ll just keep changing things as I produce each drawing, when it’s all said and done it has to end up that way anyway.
MP your English is fine, way better than my German, keep up the good suggestions and help.
Thanks all for your suggestions,
Larry

Do you only see this behavior in draw views that are scaled?

I'd like to jump on here, I have another post about scaled views, they are a nightmare! I've created a new set on dimensions in the manager and it makes no difference. I did a scale view earlier, at 4.0. Every bit of text was 4 times smaller than what I wanted it to be. I then tried to change it in the inspector, and it wouldn't budge. You have this whole daft process to go through to put a dimension on a page? Surely there is a simple way to fix this. Scaled views mess with everything.

We should be able to change values as we need to, even when we create our own dimension standard it still doesn't let us do it!

You can't change anything in inspector in scaled draw views or your size will be completely wrong. This is old. The solution is: Don't change anything in scaled draw views. Take the dims like they be after they created or delete all dims (use the "select mask" for selecting all dims).

So say for example a customer wants 5mm high text, then what do we do? Personally use Catia each day and out Catia Customer has 5mm text or you get it back.
So should a similar situation happen here, which could. Could convince someone that I can produce faster in Shark than Catia, and then I hit this problem. So we are no longer correct or faster and smoother as you have to fart around to get things how the user needs it?

Create a dim standard with 5mm high text, select it in inspector when nothing selected (for new) and then create your dims after the draw views have already the right scale. Your text print size is then 5mm. Print it. When you setup 5mm in inspector in a scaled draw view, the print size is then 5mm x scale. Shark can only calculating the right print size when you create a new dimension, and therefore change Shark the values in inspector after the dimension created automatically. Let's hope that this will be better in Shark 11, But for now we have to live with it.

Hi,

This is what I'm saying this is all after the draw views have been done. So model to sheet, pick the scale, then do all the dim business and it just will not change. Even using my own standard

Are you saying if you select an already placed dimension and go to dimension font tab and change it is not working for you? It seems to work here.
