Can someone explain to my why the Primary Units Dim Scale Linear changes depending on what I attach a dimension to? This is very problematic for me. Sometimes it'll change with an Update View even. This isn't something that should be happening because the potential to have drawings going out with grossly inaccurate dimensions if very high? Please help!

I'm not able to get the attachment to work. Had the same problem last time to used this forum...
Hopefully the attachment issue you’re having will clear up soon. I tested with an attachment here and it appears to work.
You may want to consider creating a quick video using Autodesk Screencast. This could help in getting better responses (since the Discussion Forum Community can see clearly what you’re dealing with in the video).
How to use Autodesk Screencast to document a support issue
You don’t have to attach the video, just post the link to it when ready.
Maybe trying a different web browser would help. Using Chrome, I was able to add that attachment earlier.
What web browser are you using? anything other than Internet explorer has issues... well internet explorer has the least amount of issues.
I read the forum with chrome, but If I have to post, I have to load up IE.
*edit* or when I forget and post with chrome I usually have to load up IE and fix the post.
Are you able to post attachments now? It would be good to be able to look at the DWG you based the video on.
I’m not sure why these partially associated dims are changing the Dim Linear Scale on you when you adjust them. It may have something to do with the history or source of the drawing(?) However, I noticed that when adjusting the non-associative dimensions at the column lines it doesn’t do this.
So the solution here is to make those dimensions non-associative before you adjust them.
This can be done with the command DIMDISASSOCIATE. To Disassociate a Dimension
You may also want to change DIMASSOC to 1 DIMASSOC (System Variable)
(If this answers your question, please mark it as an Accepted Solution).
Is this still the only solution to this? It really isn't very practical and this issue shouldn't happen if the first place. If I set the DIMASSOC to 1 I get the paperspace distances not the actual measurment. Has anyone else found a better solution/workaround for this???
