After picking both extension line origins I cant get a dynamic dimension to show at the tool tip before I place it. There is only a red line that i can move around.
Can't think of anything that would cause this off the top of my head. Do dimensions work in other areas of this drawing and/or in other drawings?
It would help for us to see the problem using a Screencast.
No, it doesn't work in any dwgs. To clarify the dimension does appear after I select a location. Also when I create an angular dim. it works as it used to.
And just upgraded from 16 to 18.
Command: _ampowerdim
Specify first extension line origin or
[Linear/Angular/Radial/chaMfer/Baseline/Chain/Options/Update] <select object>:
Specify second extension line origin:
Specify dimension line location or
[Horizontal/Vertical/Aligned/Rotated/Placement options]:
Specify first extension line origin or
[Linear/Angular/Radial/chaMfer/Baseline/Chain/Options/Update] <select object>: *Cancel*
Command cancelled
Command: *Cancel*
Command: _ampowerdim
Ah..... that is a command from AutoCAD Mechanical, not AutoCAD. This is why we need images and screencasts, etc. Perhaps someone in the AutoCAD Mechanical forum would know, or perhaps someone has already run across this issue and solved it?
