Hey Guys and Gals! I hope someone can help me out. I have a B Size paper space laid out with 4 viewports. All the viewports are set 1/8" - 1'-0".

 

My dimensions are not showing the correctly. I have taken pictures of it and need help.

What settings do I need to change so the 3" reads 24'-0"???

 

Thank you for your help!!!

Welcome to the community!

 

Is your dimension in paper space?  If so, and you are dimensioning ACA Wall objects, you should know that trans-spatial dimensions do not work with AEC Objects, like Walls.  They will report the paper space dimension, not the model space dimension.  If you want to see 24'-0", you will either need to place the dimension in model space, or manually change the value of the Dim scale linear property to the scale factor of the viewport, in this case, 96.
