Model dimensions by default stretched off the sheet
Model dimensions by default stretched off the sheet
(OP)
I find that much of the time when placing drawing views, the model dimensions (that come along with the views) are stretched WAY off the sheet, and I have to spend some time arranging them as they should be. Have any of you experienced that? If so, any thoughts on what might cause that? Thanks,
Brian

Does that help? Any ideas?

Does this happen with new models & drawings or with older parts also?
Does this happen when using same files on other machines?
Are you sure all your units are matching. ie; you don't have metric & imperial mixed in somehow? {just guessing now)

Doesnt happen all the time though...but when it does so, it does it for a while!

A possibilty is that some of the dimensions were added in the isometric view instead of in the sketch plane. I do that sometimes and probably shouldn't.

Hopefully my VAR will have some thoughts or ideas. Thanks,

I ordinate dimension my part drawing manually each and every hole, edge etc. when you save it close it and open it again and try to work on it like lets say break the alignment of one of the ordinates ( as I have mentioned in one of my posts above) and thats all it takes to mess the sheet up!!!

I am having some problems with vanilla windows functions that our IT guy thinks may be a bad install. I mentioned my dimension problems here in the forum to see if others had the same problem. Since nobody chimed in, the problem is probably windows related. I'll know after the IT guy reloads my box.

Still all our engineers face this problem.

RE: Model dimensions by default stretched off the sheet
If I'm in a part and start a drawing (I have my template set to auto place the views and dims), the dimensions are usually placed just fine. But, if I'm already in a drawing and browse for a part, to insert views, that's when it seems the dims get tossed far outside the sheet. I have not experienced them getting tossed nearly as far as these guys seem to be, but it's enough that I have to zoom out to get the text.
I just don't think this can be blamed on a user or the hardware. That's just my 2 cents.
Have a good one,
Chris
