DIMENSIONS ON PIPING ISOMETRIC DRAWING ARE NOT ALIGNED

mfurches — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 18:39:11 GMT

FOR SOME REASON ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DIMENSIONS ARE NOT ALIGNING AS THEY SHOULD FROM ROUTE CENTERLINES. THEY ARE BEING CREATED MORE AS A PROJECTED DIMENSION RATHER THAN A TRUE DIMENSION.

THE FIRST PICTURE SHOWS HOW MY DIMENSIONS TYPICALLY LOOK. THE SECOND PICTURE IS WHAT I AM GETTING NOW.

hi, I can not distinguish the image. If you say that the dimension seems projected, look if you can right click and select the plane of the sheet

It does not appear that i can select the plane of the sheet.

Here I show you an example, I do not know if it applies to your problem

I think my issue has something to do with a setting. Isometric dimensions work fine in one drawing and in another made using a different template they don't work correctly.

Hi! Is the dimension type on second drawing view set to True as opposed to Projected? Right-click on the view -> General Dimension Type -> select Projected.

BTW, please avoid typing in all-cap letter. It is like yelling at people.

Many thanks!
