Do not explode dimensions!

Do not explode dimensions!

To open a 2d drawing in pure autocad, whe need to explode details with a defined procedure:

Problem is, the dimensions are all exploded! I always need to do some fine tunning on the 2d dwg using autocad and my clients uses only pure autocad. Send the drawings with exploded dimensions are an serious issue to my clients... 

 

Please, do like Revit! Export to dwg but do not explode dimensions!

The problem is: what should be created?
What you see in the details is a dimension of an object with a scale. So by not exploding the dimension, the software had to choices:

  • create many many different dimension styles
  • use one dimensions style with different dim scales

in both situation for example clipped object will not have correct dimensions.

 

So to have the idea to not explode dimensions is maybe a good one (and often wished here) but by thinking about the result, I could not imagine a good solution for it.

To be fair: there's the PlugIn PowerPack from Graitec, which could do this. The result of the exploded details is the same like I wrote. They use dimensions with a dim scale and this maybe the best solution.

 

From my point of view, it's not useable in the daily work, because it will not help you to "add" dim points or new dimensions.
If you want to do some fine tuning: to in the details before exploding.

The ideia is simple and alrealdy exist! Autodesk shoud do this (or buy this solution!)

Yes this is what I wrote. The PowerPack could do this. But as I also wrote. This is not as easy as you think.
You could select the dimension line and move the grip points. this result will be fine, if it's not a clipped area.
But it is important to know, that if you explode a detail with a scale (for example) the dimension is working with a Dim Scale factor:

If this is the way you need it, then the best way would be to order the powerpack or not?

I don't want to buy anything else, I want a complete and full software experience, as the cost of maintaining AEC collections is already too high.

calm down I could not change the costs for the AEC collection. I just wanted to say: it's important to know, what the result could be. And we all wants improvements therefore the idea station is existing, but we also had to evaluate which improvement is really needed for all users. 
And for my point of view (important: MY!) this is a feature which is only needed if the users are using the software not correct. 
this feature is only needed if I want to adjust drawings outside of Advance Steel.
But these are just my 2 cents, your wish is another and this is ok. So maybe Autodesk will also see it like you and will create such a feature.
