One is annotative and the other two are not.

Click on the dimension, look in the Properties Palette, what does it say?

Hi Patchy,

I relize that there're have a special info : "dim scale overall"= 53.9.

In dim setting, this value is 20. It automatic changed.

Hi di****hmc,

Thanks for your help!

That is a good solution, however i think it is a temporary solution.

I wish the DIM auto chose correct scale, it's mean we don't have to use command "update" to edit them.

About this problem. At the first i just use Autocad, every thing okay. After i install a program that run based on Autocad ( wood CAD CAM ), i realize this problem. It may be bring to you some data.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

It appears that the dimension on the left is using a different (Annotative) dimstyle.  Can you attach your file so I can take a look for you and perhaps get you running a bit better?

Hi all,

I see that this file work okay on acad, but wood CAD CAM (wCC) is not. wCC run based on acad, however i don't know why dim function is not good.

I hope have someone here can fix this issue while i wait for support from wCC.

Thanks all !

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that none of your dimensions are annotative in this drawing. To correct the one dimension that has larger text I just used matchprop to select one of the correct dimensions and then clicked the one on the left.

An easy fix. I hope this helps,

Out of the box, autocad hardly causes dimoverride.

Anytime a person use autolisp or add-on and they're ill-written and that's the reason.

You have to monitor your commands with SYSVARMONITOR and stop using the bad commands.

Thanks John.vellek,

Yes we can use matchprop to fix it. However I really need to know the reason. We will not waste time to fix.

Hi @Anonymous,

As @Patchy mentioned, you likely have a lisp routine or some other macro that has done this. You can try doing things manually for a bit to see if the problem reoccurs.

Hi @Patchy, @john.vellek

Follow your guide, i opened system variable dialog. Here're so many command, thus i don't know how to check all.

I have no  experience about this. Please give me some suggest.

Thanks you!
