Catia v5 only one arrow when dimensioning

Catia v5 only one arrow when dimensioning

Catia v5 only one arrow when dimensioning

(OP)
Catia v5.
When I make a dimension using the length/distance dimension, angle dimension, or Dimension command only one arrow appears and the Dimension is double what it should be.

How do I fix this?

RE: Catia v5 only one arrow when dimensioning

after the 2d selection and before you click at third time to drop the dimension in place, use RMB and uncheck Half Dimemsion:

RE: Catia v5 only one arrow when dimensioning

Hey ACarrier,

Is this happening with every dimension you create? Or just sometimes? Sometimes when creating a dimension in Catia it will automatically do what they call a "Half Dimension" for whatever reason. You can get around it by:

After clicking what you want to dimension, right click BEFORE you click the location of the dimension. In the drop down menu you'll see "Half Dimension". Click that and it should return to normal.

If it happens all the time, then you must have a setting or something changed somewhere. Hope that helps!
