Autocad 2015 [dimension issues]

Anonymous
No aplicable

When i am dimensioning a drawing.  every once in a while, the dimension sometimes isnt correct.

When i go into the dialog box for dimension round off.  it should be always 0".  but sometimes it changes on its own.

is there a fix.

Nothing changes on its own in AutoCAD: you could be triggering an override dim variable with a button or lisp or add-on or third party tool most likely especially since this only "sometimes".

Since R2015 is not new at all, did something recently change or is there something special about the file(s) where this problem occurs?

Then you are somehow either triggering a dim override or there is an override in place when you start dimensioning.

Next time it happens, start DIMSTYLE command and see if your active DIMSTYLE has a sub-entry for an override below it.

i never touch anything for dimstyle.  it changes on its own.

 

I had to send the attachment to a vendor to use.  i have marked up where the problem has always been for 5 years.

I dont even use the override ever.

That's DIMRND variable, it never changes on its own, you're just not catching it when it changes somewhere/sometime.

You can always create a startup LISP to always ensure it is always set the way you want regardless of which DWG file you open like this tutorial explains https://blogs.autodesk.com/autocad/create-load-startup-lisp-routine/

I'm not sure if your understanding the problem.

Dimensioning starts fine.  but at sometime during the dimensioning of the drawing Autocad changes the "ROUNDOFF" from 0" to something else without me knowing.  I would have to check it everytime i dimension.

 

I never change the roundoff.

I don't think you quite understand that nothing in AutoCAD changes by itself on its own.
And I cannot help you find it since I do not work on your PC.
You either need to pay very close attention to identify when it changed then trace your steps back to find the trigger, or you need to actively and always ensure it is set the way you want with customizing.
