DIM line ends are not visible.

I have added the photos in the attachment. While the measuring tips in my drawing are visible, when I make a PDF with Plot, those tips are not visible.

Every time I make my drawing as Block and plot it like that, it only appears like that. I am looking for a solution to not deal with Block every time. I would like to consult you about why it is not visible. Thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

Would you confirm to us that those dim ticks are NOT exist on a non-printing layers?

For all the layers that you have set to NOPLOT, also set them to FREEZE as well: does your display in AutoCAD change to match your PDF or no?

That seems unlikely.  The ticks in a Dimension are on the same Layer as the rest of the Dimension.  For them to not appear while the rest does appear, I think the tick would need to be a custom Block with its parts drawn on a non-plotting Layer.  @halil_aydogduZ5K4E, are you using a custom Block like that, and not one of AutoCAD's built-in tick Blocks?

By the way I am using AutoCAD 2024

Yes, this is a possible situation if there is a separate layer or a separate drawing. But these are the measurements I made with the most standard DIM command. I also do not use an extra block.

@halil_aydogduZ5K4E Share your DWG file here, we can help you figure it out for you in minutes instead of even more days and hours 🙂

Hi @halil_aydogduZ5K4E ,

I cannot reproduce the issue with dimension arrows (Architectural ticks) - they are visible in PDF output on my side:

What printer do you use when you "print" to PDF from AutoCAD?

 If you have macOS 15 Sequoia on your Mac, ensure that you installed the latest Update to AutoCAD 2024 for Mac.

I want to "print" DWG to PDF. I used other options but I didn't get any results. I'm updating to Mac now. I'll try that too.
