Dimensioning geometry in viewports, on paperspace.

Dimensioning geometry in viewports, on paperspace.

Dimensioning geometry in viewports, on paperspace.

(OP)
Hi! It's been awhile! My current assignment is using viewports in paperspace tabs, ACAD-2002.

I'm using a template created by a drafting supervisor no longer with the company. Using the template all works OK. Still-

1. How do I (what settings...) make sure dimensions read the proper geometry length through the viewport, to create proper associative dimensions in paperspace?

2. How do I create a new viewport that reads properly, per question 1 ?

3. I have a problem with a few of the dimensions on the sheet reading correctly through the viewport, but when I zoom-extents or run a plot, the 3 dimensions in question seem to re-apply the factor to the already "factored" dimension, and report a really huge number. All formatting remans the same, but the value reported changes. There are numerous dimensions on the sheet, but only these 3 seem to be affected. I match-prop an existing dim to get them to go back to correct, but later they revert again to the incorrect value.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Dimensioning geometry in viewports, on paperspace.

1) DIMASSOC = 2
2) Insert>New Layout -- it'll default in with a new viewport defined
3) Start by locking your viewport and make sure of #1. Then delete them and put them back in.
