Dimensions not visible in layout view

[BillW435]

This is one of those on-again off-again frustrating issues.

The problem: I add a dimension in Model Space, but it is not visible in Layout. No problem with drawing items, only dimensions. After some "floundering" (not an official AutoDesk term),  I see the dimension in Layout. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, or how I manage to get the dimensions to show again. Any and all help appreciated.

Yes, have searched the help file and manuals to no avail.

Sorry I did get it fixed with the annoallvis command but im curious as to why that value was switch and as to why it was only affecting certian viewports and not all of them. the dimensions we all on the same layer and type. and all the viewports were copies from previous ones just moved to where i needed them.

Hi,

all the answers are in the key to learn about the annotation feature.

Some objects has the property "annotation"

Such objects are scaled or hide, depending on what scales are supported/added to the objects.

And

in model, cannoscale Setting

in layouts, viewport-property annotation scale

Annoallvisible, what is stored per layout, display all annotation objects, also if they don't support the current annotation scale.

Too much for a short forum post.

Start with youtube: Autocad annotation

Check out the properties Annotation and Annotation scales [...]

>" but im curious as to why that value was switch"

Accidently pressed the AnnoAllVisible button in your statusbar?

The only way I now.

>"and as to why it was only affecting certian viewports and not all of them"

AnnoAllVisible affecting all viewports.

Off(0) - Viewport displaying annotation only if they support the viewport annotation scale.

On(1) - All annotation objects are displaying, in all viewport of this layout.
