Site Dimension Tools Not Functioning Properly (Length Not Showing)

Issue

You placed a dimension using one of the Dimension tools on our F/X Site ribbon, and the dimension isn't appearing correctly.

 

 

Dimension appearing incorrectly

 

 

For example, the text in the dimension may be turning into a slash (/) symbol.

 

Text in dimension turned into slash symbol

 

 

The dimension may also be coming in exploded – that is, as a series of separate objects – rather than a block, as it should.

 

Dimension exploded

Are your dimensions simply not looking the way you want them to, but the dimensions themselves are coming in correctly? (That is, you see the correct text rather than a slash, and the dimension itself is coming in as a block as it should?) If so, you may simply need to set your Dimension Style (DimStyle) to meet your preferences. See our Dimension Styles (DimStyles) documentation.

 

 

Cause

An AutoCAD system variable called DIMASSOC may be set incorrectly to 0 in your drawing.

 

Solution

Type DIMASSOC in the Command line, and press Enter.

 

 

When prompted to set a value, type 2 and press Enter. This setting will prevent the dimensions from exploding and changing to a slash.

 

 

Delete and purge the problematic dimension, and place the same dimension again. It should now come in as a contiguous block, and the text should appear correctly, as pictured below.
