Are you double-clicking? I can't reproduce the effect. Post a DWG instead of a screenshot with the problem, put a big arrow at each location, and let's all have a look.

Also, your ACA version? Is it fully updated? Windows OS?

I don't understand what do you mean by Double clicking?!

I atached the dwg and the arrows indicates the zero numbers which shouldn't be there...

I use Autocad Architecture 2012 ver. F.51.0.0

operating sys. Win 7

I tried it also in 2010 version and the result was the same.

Also tried to see if something in the settings option within the command can result this, but nothing seems to works

Thanks

When I use MOVE with a crossing window selection and pick what I think is one dimension line, AutoCAD reports I'm actually seelcting two. I've reattached your file, and moved the non-zero dim lines away: it appears you have horizontal as well as vertical dimensions being drawn.

Drawing my own lines in your file shows that I cannot repeat the problem. I don't think your lines are actually horizontal, but at a very small angle perhaps looking at the PROPERTIES settings.

Yes you are right!
the lines weren't totaly horizontal.
Thank you very much!

Hi there, I have the same problem. I have a huge file (not drawn by me) and correcting every single non-horizontal angled line is out of question . It would take ages. So my question is, is there a way to delete zero-valued dimensions only? or is there a way to straighten multiple lines . Like selecting a whole lot of them and give a command so they are fixed. Either perfectly horizontal or vertical. thanks in advance.

Start your own thread please and post a portion of the DWG file.
