Use MATCH function to dimensions

[Anonymous]

I use a MATCH functions to dimensions. I want them to be consistent. However, only the color change, the size doesn't change. I check the properties of the dimensions, both of the use the same style. How to keep them the same style? Thanks

After you issue the MATCH PROPERTIES command and select the first object and before selecting the objects to make match select the setting on the command line and see if the box is checked for dimensions.

Hi @Anonymous

As mentioned by @imadHabash, dimensions of the file has different properties, when you select the MATCH command, you copy the dimensions style, in this case the "Annotative" style, which does not have some features such as paper text height.

Also some dimensions are annotative and others not, when you apply MATCH you can copy the properties of dimensions No Annotative to others that if and turn them into No annotative, but vice versa does not work.

What I recommend is that you select all the dimensions and from the properties box you assign the same properties to all. And to avoid future problems, personalize your dimensions style well and make sure they are all annotative.

I hope it will be useful
