where do these dimstyles come from? "STANDARD$0"

 you guys have helped alot getting past the 2015 issues.  I have another, i set up my ddim styles  as i always have for years.  i get strange dim styles.  I have also noticed that the dim ribbon acts on its own.  So i guess it has something to do with it, some  kind of dimentional conflict between dimstyles.  anyone know how to destroy this "STANDARD$0" i cant seem to make it go away in the 3 or 4 minutes a day i have to fix autocad issues?

THANKS,

AutoCAD Mechanical used to be a 3rd party plug in for AuoCAD around 1992 called "genius". Since Autodesk bought it to create this vertical, it has not really been updated - only bug fixed when it became too unstable.

 

The result is that any feature introduced after that time is not or barely supported - including annotative dimensioning (and anything else to do with paper space).

A fix that has been hacked together (probably to keep the genius system from completely falling appart) is a reactor that copies annotative dimension styles to $0, $1 etc ones.

 

So what yoiu can do:

  • Use every option to complain to Autodesk that AutoCAD Mechanical uses 20th century methods. (like I am doing here)
  • Use 20th century methods yourself. (no annotativity etc)
  • Code your own reactor to undo what the Mechanical one does.
  • Make a button/script that fixes it without a reactor and press it once in a while
