Dimensioning issues in AC 28

Bob Moore

Having an issue with dimensioning in AC 28. Figure 1 shows the floor plan with nice even dimensions. Figure 2 shows the plot with dimensions down to 1/64 an inch. Why would AC change them? All the dimension preferences match.

Looks like you have the wrong dimension style saved in your view settings of that floor plan view after you've placed it on your layout.

I suppose that the first shot is coming from project map & the other is coming from view map so you only need to adjust the view settings including Dimensions.

Those dimensions at the higher accuracy indicate that the distances may be modeled inaccurately. It would be best if you modified them so the values are multiples of feet even at the highest dimension accuracy setting.
