When she plots from LT the drawing plots correctly. When I plot the same drawing from LT a portion of our titleblock gets cut off. English Original X. View Original X. By: Support.

Solution: Generally, it's recommended to use the model space to draw in actual size or in scale. Thus, start by verifying what the current drawing units are: If needed, switch to the Model tab.

Inches 2. Feet 3. Millimeters 4. I am glad you have successful using paperspace for dimensions -- i am really hoping to clean up my model views. Remark a bit suprised you do dims in paper space I would shoot the guys here if they do that just to many problems change object dims no longer relates move objects same problem.

We do though dim paperspace objects in paperspace model space in model never the twain shall meet. I think you have come across a bug, so don't specify 0,0 when dimensioning, draw a circle there and snap to it if you need to dim from there. Even autodesk recommends not changing dimlfac, hover over the setting in dim style manager. I agree. Unassociated dimensions or overridden dimensions serve little purpose if the geometry ever changes. Most companies I know of that share CAD drawings with us now utilise layouts, including dimensions in paperspace.

I think it works better than dimensions in modelspace myself. I too, do all of my dimensions in paperspace, although I do not choose to use associative dimensions. I've been putting all dimensioning and text in my paper space layout going on five years now with nary a problem. As long as dimensions are associative the object size can change ten times and it would not matter. Think about it. Doing it my way I have to worry about two things.

How many things does one have to deal with using annotative text? How many variables have to be dealt with? I also have the added bonus of not having to deal with scale lists. Is there a good reason to use annotative scaling? Yes, there is and I can see its benefits for certain disciplines. I just don't find it necessary for the job I do. Use whatever method works best for you. I'm cool with that. I agree, I normally use paperspace for dimensions, text, etc.

Much easier than playing with annotative and leaves modelspace much cleaner. I have done a few projects with annotative and just wasn't worth the effort.

As a matter of fact some of those I am going to redo. Of course bear in mind I am a one man show here, as always - do what works best for you. After a bit more experimentation I think I understand what is happening. The object in PS that I am dimensioning is xref'ed.
