If they are the automatic dimensions, then they picked up by the default dimension settings when the button for automatic dimensions was clicked.

if you change the default dimension settings and then turn off automatic dimensions, then turn automatic dimensions back on again, then they will use the current default settings at the point you turn them on.

I don't l know if this helps or if it still works after Archicad 25.

Thanks for solution but doesn't work for AC28.  I need to change all dimensions (in window schedule) at one one instead of individual.  

It works for me even in Archicad 29:

You are in the Schedule Viewpoint.

1. Go back to the Floor Plan Viewpoint.

2. With nothing selected (to make sure you are modifying default settings), activate the (Linear) Dimension tool and go to its settings Dialog.

3. Modify the settings to the values you want applied to your Automatic Dimensions in the Schedule. Click OK.

4. Go back to the Schedule.

5. Uncheck the "Add Automatic Dimensions" checkbox on the Formatting panel of the left.

6. Check the "Add Automatic Dimensions" checkbox again. The dimensions should be applied with Dimension tool default settings (the settings you set for the Dimension tool.)

Laszlo,

Thank you fo rthe information. I made it to step #5 but do not see: "Add Automatic Dimensions" checkbox on the Formatting panel of the left. Please see attached snapshot at bottom of screen of AC28 formatting panel

 

I am on AC28, is it different for AC29.

 

Can you send me a screenshot of what your formatting panel looks like?

 

Thankyou

Dennis
