Annotative dimensions multiply by 2

Darwin33 — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 21:35:04 GMT

I am experimenting an issue

I have configurated my dimensions as annotatives, but the problem is that when I dimension on PS the value of the dimensions is multiply by 2, in any viewport.

Thank you for the help

Hi @Darwin33,

This definitely sounds like something is not set up correctly. Is it possible to share a file that demonstrates the issue? Obviously Annotative Dimensions should always reflect the measured value.

Drawing would be helpful, sounds like your dimension style has a 2x multiplier in it.

Finally I found out the solution of my issue. as I usually dimension in paper space I found that I havent the system variable DIMASSOC with 2 selected, so if you dont have DiMASSOC 2, the dimension in paper space linked to your real model doesnt work properly.

Thank you all
