Mech 2009 Service Pack 3... power dimensioning issue

[gojo]

When you use the "Apply To" button in the "Power Dimensioning" dialogue box it only applies the text change not the "Representation" (underlining, box around text, parenthesis....). This issue only occurred after I downloaded and installed Service Pack 3. Anyone have an fix for this?

Pleas help.... I use this function all the time. When it works it is a huge time saver.

Hi Garry,

I tried it in AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 ENU with Service Pack 3 but unluckily, I could not reproduce it by using "Apply To". or "Copy from" for "Representation" among dimensions.

Would you please let me know in what language version of ACM with SP3 you got the problem? Also, it would be better if you can let me know your detail workflows to encounter the problem?

Have you tried to uninstal SP3 at your side? Will it resolve the problem, right?


Thanks,

Michael,

I have the English version. Removing the SP3 does solve the problem, a co-worker tried this out.
The only reason that I installed it, was because it was suggested for another issue.
I would prefer to have a formal fix for this problem. Other co-workers here have seen the same issue.
So it is a fundamental problem with the SP3 that needs to be fixed.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your extra information about this issue.

I have logged this issue in our system and notified the development team.

Meanwhile, please try the following workaround.

When you apply to properties from one dimension to another, please uncheck Dimension Style in Properties dialog and click ok to see if it helps.


Thanks,

Michael,

Unchecking the dimension style box seems to work.

thank you very much,
