DIMSTYLE Center Marks not shown

[SEC_MECH]

I cannot get center marks to show when I create a radius dimension.

1) DIMSTYLE is not available in the ribbon under Annotate\Dimension. I have to use the command DIMSTYLE to open the Dimension Style Manager.

I have seen clips of others ribbons. Mine looks nothing like theirs. I am using AutoCAD Mech 2019.

The attached image shows my ribbon is missing this command.

I cannot even add DIMSTYLE to my palette as it is not an available palette command.

2) Even though I set center marks to "Line" with 4 units I still do not get a center mark.

The attached image shows what I get on the left compared to what I am trying to achieve on the right.

3) If I create the radius dimension and then go to its properties it says that Center mark is set to line of 4 units but there is no center mark.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Command: _dimcenter
Select arc or circle:

Thanks

I don't know what @jayhar talked about? But when you want to get this center mark:

you have to set DIMTOFL off

 and place the dimtext outside of the circle/arc.

Is it working now?

You will find the dimtofl setting for your dimstyle here:

Edit your DIMSTYLE <your dimstyle> EDIT, Tab "FIT", lower right corner -> Fine tuning [Draw a line between ext lines]

And one hint more: Your Picture shows a mistake.

1. You talk about dimradius

2. But you show the setting of the main dimstyle "My ISO-25"

The right position to edit or to show the setting for us is the radius substyle "My ISO-25:Radial",

this is the style which acad will use for a new radius dimension..

Thank you. That was exactly the explanation that I needed. I didn't show the Radial dimension style because it seemed to be inheriting any changes that I made to the parent dimstyle "My ISO-25".

Thanks jayhar that would work too but is a two step process - placing the center mark separately from the radius dimension.

This solution did not work for me.  I still cannot get a centermark to display for my dimensions.  Interesting thing is that my students -- doing the same drawing with the same version (CAD2022) on the same hardware -- do display centermarks.  Any other suggestions?

@shofland show your work: share your DWG file here, add notes/point to the area that "it dos not work"and explain your final intent in it.

You man have to turn "Dim line forced" to off.
