Disappearing dimension lines in viewports!!!
Disappearing dimension lines in viewports!!!
(OP)
I have a problem using acad 2000 in Windows 2000 (at work) which I don,t seem to have in XP (at home)in that after creating a 3D model in model space if I then try to dimension it or balloon reference it, any dimension leader lines or balloon leaders are hidden by the viewport and only those parts of the dims or leaders outside the viewports are visible as if the viewports were opaque not transparent.
Is there a system variable I'm missing or a known problem with acad 2000 in Win 2000??
any ideas or help apreciated.

If a model is hidden, or rendered in the vport it will do what you are saying is happening.

I created a model in model space, created paper space viewports to view the model. The paper space viewports were set to perspective (not normal parallel) hidden view. I found that paperspace objects that were over the viewports were not visible on screen, but plotted correctly. Paper space objects outside the viewports were visible as normal.
If your dimensions are in paper space then you may be having a similar problem. I do not know of a fix or a system variable, other than changing the viewport to parallel projection. The problem may lie somewhere in combination between AutoCAD and the graphics system.
