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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.
