Text and dimension settings not holding
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2022 6:34 pm
Just when I thought I'd figured out a few things.....
Text, dimension and even Print Preview settings are not holding. I set my dimension and text settings the way I want them (and save the Dimension Style), but then when I go to a new or different part of the file (usually with a different scale), nothing is the way I left it. I then try reloading the saved Style, but it's not how I have set it.
And even Print Preview sometimes gets unchecked.
I'm sure it's something I'm doing incorrectly, but I can't figure out what.
(BTW, is saving Dimension Styles somewhere in the manual? I can't find it.)
Text Scale is selected. I set the scale for the part of the drawing/detail I'm working (and have even saved it as a GTV), but then much of the time the settings are wrong. I try reloading the save Dim Style, but that doesn't help. The settings are not what I saved. Text (regular text, not in dimensions) often goes to zero. Other settings may have gone to zero or otherwise not how I have set them.
[I've also noticed, btw - and not to further confuse matters - that when I attempt to layout a GTV in MSP, there is nothing there (no outline box) until I save the detail (even though I can't see it), and then click the detail, at which point I can see it and then position it correctly.]
Am I fundamentally misunderstanding something?
