AC12: More Problems with Dimensions

[Laura Yanoviak]

Since moving to AC12, we've been having problems with Dimensions disappearing from Detail windows -- see this post.

Now we're having problems with Dimension Text moving itself around. Text of Dimension Chains, that are set to the default position, are shifting a number of feet away from that default position (see attached for example) -- this is a TW project, and the shifting usually takes place immediately following a Send and Receive. I've also had reports of Witness Lines moving, while the Dimension Points stay in place.

Anyone else experience this???

[David Larrew]

Yes, we were experiencing this in AC11 (at my old employer). I thought this was fixed in AC12???

I personally haven't experienced this since.

Huh -- we NEVER had a problem [with this] in AC11.

I seen my share of dimension quirkiness, but I haven't seen this in my own nor any of my clients' practices (since AC3.43).

I realize this is unlikely, but by any chance were these views saved when
Options>Project Preferences>Dimensions
had Revert all dimension Text to Automatic Position checked?

Wouldn't this have the opposite effect -- text that had been manually moved reverting back to the default position?

[Erika Epstein]

Yes. Your screenshot looked like it had gone back to default. Did I misunderstand?

Just the opposite -- Text in DEFAULT position has been MOVING.

Wow, not good, assume you have logged a bug report?

Will do.
