Paper Space Dimensions Slightly Off

luikertc — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 02:18:25 GMT

My dimensions in model space are 100% correct and are reading correctly with the distance command. When I am in paper space, some dimensions will read correctly and some will read at like 1-3/4" off. I have made sure I am clicking the correct points and even made sure my lines were drawn straight. My units are also the correct units. What should I do to fix this issue?

Hmmm just to be sure...

1. Is it precicely correct? Try a higer value of LUPREC and meassure again, to see if it is slightly off.

2. Could it be that the objects are elevated? Is everything at Z = 0?

The problem was my LUPREC was too high. I had it at 8 and when I was printing to scale everything was about a foot off. When I changed it to 7 everything is printing normally. Thank you!!
