Dimensioning DXF imports
Dimensioning DXF imports
(OP)
Hello All,
I may have stumbled across a bug in solidworks. My VAR is looking it a bit further for me. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.
What I am trying to do is import a DXF file to a drawing and then dimension it. However when I dimension it does not display the dimension value just the extension lines and arrows. I know in the past I was able to do this without a problem. Do any of you have a similar issue? If so I would like to hear about it.
Also if anyone has a workaround for this please advise.

Sometimes it is the simple things that complictae things. What is funny is that it only changed the dimension's font size.
I imported the DXF in mils and then once in a solidworks drawing I changed the units to inches. It then changed only the dimension size to .000018 which is pretty darn small on a D-sized drawing.
Anyways thanks for your help. A star for you!!
