The demensions are not being displayed properly in paperspace on the drawing. ie the part should measure 160 inches. when it demen. the product in paperspace it will only measure 3 inches.
But on a different part of the drawing it measures correct demensions?????

Are you dimensioning in Paperspace?
Is the Viewport scale 1:1?
If the Viewport scale is something else have you changed the Dim Scale Linear factor by an opposite amount?

Yes the viewport is at 1:1.
If I enter the viewport and dem. it it works fine. However, I might mention again the when I was demen. the drawing in paperspace, Half the drawing was entering the correct sizes. move to another part... top, and left side the demension would be entered by the paper size not the demension of the object.
Yes the OSNAPS turned ON, and it does not make any difference on the switching it OFF and Demen. the drawing. I have attached the drawing so you may see the problem
Two things to take notice of.
The Viewport is not 1:1.
The Blocks are annovative.
Which means that the Dimension String will need to be Annotative as well to match the annotative scale of the Block being dimension in Paperspace.

OK guys,
Here is what we found. We went in and exploded both block in the drawing. Once that was done it would demen. it correctly. I beleive that there is a error in the software. The bolt half of the drawing would enter the correct demensions, even though the lower left block was not exploded. But it would not enter the two left side blocks demensions correctly. Once I exploded both left side block it would work.
Make sure we enter this problem into the data base of knowledge.
And one more item to note:
The Dim Linear Scale for the Dimension 6.2876 is 1
The Dim Linear Scale for the Dimension 160.9737 is -25.5224
It looks as though you have an Imperial and Metric conflict and not an AutoCAD conflict.
You need to look at your setups and dimension properties to fix this and is related to my third question in the initial response.
