Ordinate UCS dimensions are not scaling properly.

Hi,

 

The linear dimensions are correct for this part.  

 

I set the UCS (origin) to the lower left corner.

 

However when I add ordinate dimensions they come out different.

 

Is this a software bug??Lin dim is correct, ucs is not.PNG

Reporting another bug.

 

Clearly the inside, highlighted dimension is shorter, but somehow it comes out longer when I dimension it.

 

The dimension should be 1.907 in.  When I dimension it on the model it is correct.  When I dimension it on the drawing it intermittently is incorrect.  Delete/remake does not resolve.  

 

Should I be dimensioning on the model only?

Different? How?

What does "I set the UCS (origin) to the lower left corner." since your content is in paperspace?

 

Note: Your linear dimension is in modelspace. Your others are in paperspace. So that for sure is different.

I don't see this updated DWG file. Share it?

 

By chance are you still dimensioning in both spaces randomly as your original?

I'm short on time right now. I was able to play with your drawing, and tried different things. Sometimes measurements were consistent, other times they were random. What I think may be the problem has something to do with your UCS: your "lower left corner" UCS vs. the World UCS. Model space vs. paper space. 

You might try moving your model space image with the lower left corner at the world 0,0 and then do your dimensioning. I may try this a little more when I get more time.
