Hi Todd, Why should the dimensions be on layer "0" when I do my dimensioning on another layer? Shouldn't the various dimensions appear on the layer I have chosen for that layout? Thanks Again, Alfred

Hi Todd, Thanks for hanging in with me. I had to quit trying to find the problem and print my drawings yesterday to meet a schedule. I ended up putting the tick marks in manually so the would appear on the plot. Just now I went back and tried what you suggested and thawed all the layers in...

Hi Todd, I had to crank all day on the drawings so I didn't try your last suggestion until now. I still don't get the message you do about the layers that are frozen after I do all you said. When I press the F2 key it shows no more than the question. I am at a loss as to what to do from here...

Hi Again, After I type in the ? at the second prompt after picking the viewport, it says: switching to paper space after the first pick and then: switching to model space after the second pick in the viewport. Then it me the same prompt ?\Freeze\Thaw\Reset..... again. I am using Autocad 2000...

Todd, I can pick the viewport with the mouse and it does change from a box to the crosshairs. It then prompts me with the same question: ?\Freeze\Thaw\Reset....... I does not give me the response you gave me: Layers currently frozen in viewport. I tried something else. I thawed all the...

Todd, Sorry for the duplicate message, my system said the first message did not go through so I rewrote it. Anyway I do see the viewport under my title block. When I click on it to select a viewport it rejects it. I think it is looking for a name which must be different from the name I have...

Hi Todd, I did what you said, but can't get past the select a viewport. When I type in a viewport name I have 401A2 in my case it rejects it saying it: expects a point or window/Last......etc. I do not know what to enter to make it go through. Is the name on the tab not the viewport name...

Hi Again Todd, I did what you said but when it asks me to select a viewport, I type in the name I have on the tab, in my case 401A2, and it comes back: expects a point or window/Last/Crossing/Box/Fence/wPolygon/Cploygon/group I don't know what to enter at this point as it either sends me back...

Hi Todd, Thanks again for helping me work through this problem. I have been trying your suggestions and have this is what I have found. When I go to DIMBLK1 AND 2, it asks if I want to enter a new setting or default. Since I don't know what setting to enter I left it alone. Is there some...

Hi TCarpenter, Thanks for your help. I did find DIMTIX and it was off so I turned it on, but it did not solve the problem. I did not quite understand your suggestion to "change the dimension layer or modify the tick block though. I have had other discoveries since. If I turn on one particular...

I use Autocad 2000 and the dimension ticks disappear in the layout mode and will not plot. What do I need to do to get them to appear in the layouts and plot?

I am using the dot in my current drawing, but the same thin happened when I used the tick or oblique.

Does anyone have an easy way to transfer aspects of a drawing from one drawing to another while keeping the original aspects on the original layer? In older versions I simply made a copy of the original items in the same location and then under properties, I chose previous and set them to a...

In autocad 2000 I find that when I demension different drawings on different layers, when I turn off the original dimensioned layer the arrows on the other layers also go off. I have tried to set all the dimensioning variables to "by layer" but find that it does not help. Does anyone...
