Lock Dimensions, Annotations etc

Lock Dimensions, Annotations etc

We done a lot of work with Drawing Styles they are very powerfull indeed.

 

However we really require a way to lock a drawings dimensions even when updating.

 

Presently when updating drawings or creating sections or adding views or call outs the manual dimensions I have placed get thrown all over the place and I have to redimension my drawing again and again.

 

Ok in some cases this is not a problem as we have done a lot of work with our drawings styles.  But when we do those strange and unusual jobs that we don't have drawing styles for this becomes a big pain.  With Revit allowing architects to create very organic shapes for buildings these days there comes a point where predefined drawing styles do not do the job.  Hence we need to dimension / part dimension drawings by hand.

 

If I spend time editing a drawing, issue it for fabrication and then have a revision......  It is much easier to add 1 or 2 dimensions or even move a dimension line or 2 then then to check all dimensions on a drawing.  This becomes a time costly process for the draftsman and the checker which then doubles the time to produce the drawing, loosing any gain from the software.

 

So the suggestion would be to lock a dimensions from moving in the extension line direction and being removed all together unless the object dimension point has been deleted (i.e. object is deleted hence the dimension point is gone) Obviously they still need to update if they move location. i.e. A shear plate moves 100mm down the beam.  This would be a setting that can be applied or removed local to each drawing. 

 

Maybe a selection from the Document Manager would be a good idea for application and removal to each drawing.
