Dimention text changes in PM

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello -

I have my dimension text set to what I want in AC. When I import it into PM 9 the text reverts to the Tahoma font. Often when I go back to AC the font there will now be Tahoma. Is there anything I can do to get the font to stay to the one I have chosen?

Best regards - Chris

Are the placed dimensions following this? What I mean is: if you chenage a setting, the already placed dimensions do not automatically update - you have to do it.

Hmmmm ... seems to me that it is not intially what you think it is in ArchiCAD. Check what the dimension settings are, not the tool settings.

Hello Djordje -

I just set a new line of dimensions. I made sure the font was what I wanted and expected prior to placing it. When I placed it it viewed correctly. I saved the project. Then updated the drawing in PM. The dimension text there changed to the Tahoma. Any other text I use in AC, all with the same font I am trying to get into the dimensions, will view and plot properly. I am sure there is something very basic I am missing but I sure cannot find it. Everthing in AC says the right thing. Thanks for your input.

Best regards - Chris
