Plotmaker Problem- update error: change of dimension format

[Anonymous]

Changed dimension preference from "fractional inches" to "feet and inches" in ArchiCad . In Plotmaker after updating the dwgs. , it still retained fractional inches. I did the obvious troubleshooting - erased plots and re-sent them etc. Why would plotmaker retain dimension preferences? I would expect it to blindly accept any data on an archicad plot . Anybody have any ideas?


Thanks.

In AC9, Saved Views contain Dimensioning Preference information.
Resave the View in ArchiCAD with the correct dimensioning preference, then update in PlotMaker9.

We have just encountered this "feature". It would seem that the dimension preferences stored with each view should be shown in the bottom of the view editor window and easily changed from one stored dimension setting to another, without having to go to preferences each time. Also in the stored view settings it would be nice if it would say which stored dimension setting was saved instead of just saying "Dimension settings are saved with the drawing".

Yes is dumb to link a view set to the main preferences. Not very intuative. There should be a link and a list of the set dimension prefs in the view options.

I ran into this problem when using teamwork. I didnt have exclusive access I couldnt change the dimesion prefs for the view. blaaa
