Drawing setup & style override

[Ahmed_204]

Good Day , 

I tried to find a direct solution for my problem which is stopping “Automatically create Dimscale override” which is found in the drawing setup (not included in my autocad version) but I didn’t find any solution so I was advised to post my problem here to try figure out a lisp together or control a specific system variable like an alternative way to the above option. 
Thanks in advance

@Ahmed_204  hi,

A dimension style is made of a collection of dimension vars, creating a non graphical object in autocad (e.g dimstyle). when you invoke a dimension command, autocad uses the current active dimension vars to draw that dimension line and if there is an equality (between dimension vars in dimstyle and current dimension vars) the new dimension is 'linked' to the current dimstyle but if there a diverse between the two, you have a dimension override.

so to answer your question:

by making a dimension style current, you will remove all dimension overrides 😀

if you do not set a dimension vars manually, then maybe you have some application, some lisp that do that. temporary remove auto loaded applications from appload and acad.lsp\acaddoc.lsp

@Moshe-AGood Day , 

First of all thank you for your reply , My issue that I cant stop any "auto loaded applications" because its implemented by my company so, I wanted a direct way or an option to solve this issue.

if the company applications is responsible for dimensions overrides (and the emphasis is on the if) and you can not touch it then how can i solve it?! if you know a company command creates dimension override, avoid using it?!

and as i said earlier, set your dimstyle current at loading dwg or shortly after you see dimension overrides.

I mean that the company load a lot of things which maybe not related to dimstyle and lets say I am using my own laptop and I want to find an option like the attached photo is it possible ?

@Ahmed_204 ,

in order to find a solution to a problem first you have to know from where the problem is coming, right?!

if you use autocad vanila you do not have this drawing setup up.

Hi @Moshe-A ,

1) I am using Autocad Vanila so , I don't have this drawing setup.

2) Can you explain to me in which cases style override appears in case i am using autocad on my personal laptop ?

I dont understand why you post this screenshot while you are an Autocad User!?

If i am right:

1. This Option/Dialog has nothing to do with your problem.

2. Your Problem is not to know what a dimension override means???

3. Dimension override means: Your current setting of dimension variables doesnt match the setting of your current dimstyle.

Switch your current dimscale (to make sure there is no dim override.

Start dimstyle command: Overrides?

Then there is a 3.part program running. Select the Dimoverride node to see which settings are changed.

No overrides?

Perfect.

Now, change DIMPOST to "Test" via commandline, chaeck this "override" in dimstyle dialog.

This is how it works, current settings not matching current dimstyle => Named as Style Override

Hi @cadffm ,

1 -  Which dimension variables you mean in this point (3. Dimension override means: Your current setting of dimension variables doesnt match the setting of your current dimstyle.) ?

2 - I don't understand this point please clarify (Then there is a 3.part program running. Select the Dimoverride node to see which settings are changed.)

Thanks for your support.
