Dimension problem: the dot

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

I am trying to use the "dot" as the start and end of a dimension, but the dot (both filled and empty) is not visible and I cannot resize it anyway (using scale). If I change It to "arrow" or "tick" I dont have any problem, but I have to use the dot. Could you help me? thank you!

Hi Piergiorgio,

Check arrow size in dimension style with dot.
Can you share your drawing (or part of it with dimensions you are trying to change).

Hi,

I attached a dwg, as they passed me, with dimensions and two dimensions style I have to use, both with dots. As you can see, the dots don't appear..

 

Thanks!

Special block with name "_DotSmall" which used in Dimension Style was empty (had no geometry) in your drawing for some reason.

I edited it and now dimensions show with dots (see attached DWG).

Thank you so much! But where I can find these "special blocks" and edit them?
