If you are not familiar with annotative scaling, you might want to read this basic tutorial and how to control annotation scaling further. Add if you don’t see it yet.Īfter you click OK, you should see the dimension now! Shape it - Change a simple shape into something more interesting. In opened dialog box, check if the annotation scale is listed. Autodesk 123D Design (Size 345 MB): Create it - Quickly model your project with precision, so it can be ready for fabrication. Now select the dimension, and check the scale list in properties palette. The dimensions don’t have the active scale in the dimension scale list.
Annotation Scaleīut most likely the missing dimensions is because the dimension is using annotative style. If you see the layer properties overridden and you suspect it are used by the dimension, try to unfreeze it. Open layer properties manager, then check if there any VP Freeze properties. Open layout tab, double click the viewport you want to check for problem. If it’s true, most likely it is because the AutoCAD drawing has frozen layers in that viewport. First, AutoCAD now allow us to override layer properties for each viewport. There are two possibilities why this happen. This problem become an AutoCAD regular problem, so I thought I should share it here. Both are showing the same part from my AutoCAD drawing, I can see annotations in my left viewport, but I don’t see the annotations in the right viewport. Annotation objects can be dimensions, texts, hatches, and even blocks. But somehow you can’t see them in the other AutoCAD viewports. When you examine the AutoCAD drawing in model space, and in some viewports, everything looks OK.
When you open AutoCAD layout, do you ever found your dimensions (or other annotation objects) are missing in some viewports? I saw many threads about this issue like this one in AutoCAD forum.
