Losing Dimensions when saving as dxf
Losing Dimensions when saving as dxf
(OP)
I'm working on a interface/footprint drawing based on a very large model.
It is an existing drawing (.dft), that we've successfully saved as dxf before.
I've added a few extra dimensions, balloons and edited a couple of existing dimensions to have dual dimension display.
For some reason now when I save as dxf, and then open it using either SE or a viewer, the new dimensions don't show, however the edited dimensions and the added balloons show up just fine.
I checked to see if it was an issue with the layers they were on, but they're on the same layer as the existing dims.
I had a quick look at the 'save as dxf' options but again didn't see anything.
Any ideas?
I'm on V19 if it makes a difference.
Thanks.

I will ask around the office and see if anyone else has an issue.

If not, that could cause the new dimensions not to transfer to dxf.

RE: Losing Dimensions when saving as dxf
The model is massive with various sub assy's write protected and it is showing out of date. However I'm pretty sure I had the model open in another window of the same session so it was showing up to date on the drawing.
Thanks
