I'm not sure if this should be here or in another part of the forums so please forgive me.
I am on the newest Autocad right now, and having an issue...
For some reason any drawings I open, the precision on the dimensions defaults to 0'-0".
This didn't start happening till about a year ago or so, and I'm not sure if it's someone else doing it intentionally or if Autocad is doing it somehow or what.
The point that matters though, and what I am trying to figure out, is two-fold:
1) Is there a way, that no matter what drawing I open, doesn't matter who I get it from or if it's new or anything, that ALL dimensions are set to a precision of 0'-0-1/256", period, no ands-ifs-or butts about it that way any made from that time forward are made with said precision?
2) Is there a way at the same time, to make every EXISTING dimension on an opened file change precision to the same 0'-0-1/256" so that I don't manually have to go and change it each drawing?
I'm not sure if this is done via a lisp routine or if the functions already built into autocad, but it would be quite helpful to know how to do it or to have a lisp that can do that, and I am by no means good at creating lisps (so if anyone needs to make one to do both functions that would be fantastic and greatly appreciated!)
Another thing, I don't want the dimensions to have to change layers or font styles or whatever. We have a very specific font style and size we follow. It would be nice to have a 3rd option to said lisp or functionality that would do the following:
3) All existing dimensions (and new of course) would be forced to change to a specific font style, dim style (as far as sizes goes), and somehow become annotative so the scale changes as we change scales in a viewport (default to 1/8" = 1'-0" basically in model space, but annotative to all other scales in viewports).
IF a lisp is required to do these 2 (hopefully all 3 though) functions, can it be done so that it's a button that needs to be manually clicked instead of an auto-start lisp? This way we don't accidentally change say a civil drawings dimensions or what have you, we can just change our own or any that uses the architectural dimension units.
Thank you for any and all feedback that can be provided.
