2002 angular dimension pAutocad R14 puts in extra zeros

[crashnb444]

Hello,


I have a delema. I have one guy that will not upgrade to autocad 2002. I do not want my angular dimensions to be rounded up. I want a precision of 45.00. Let just say I would like the dimensions to be 22 1/2 degrees not 23 degrees forced. I have the autocad 2002 saving in 14 format. That is the problem. Everything works great in autocad 2002, until you close that drawing down. Let say I have a dimension that is 45 degrees. I open another drawing & then come back to that drawing. It is now 45.00 degrees. I do not have to change a thing. I just push the update button & select the angular dimension. Now it is 45 degrees. I think the problem is autocad 14 did not have the dimaunit command. Does autocad have a fix for this bug? They advertise that it can be run on a dual platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I haven't used R14 for what seems an age now so I not too sure, but I don't think it has the abilty to create child dimstyles from the parent. Like if you have a dimstyle called "Main-1" which is set up for all dimension types, in 2000/2002 you can set up child styles from this which are for specific dimensions, ie Leaders or Angular dimensions that can have different text heights, arrowheads, units etc..
So when you create different dimensions, like radial or linear, they can look and act differently but they still classed as the same parent dimstyle..
I don't think R14 has this, so you can't set up 2 decimal places for most dimensions and say 4 decimal places for angular ones..

Correct me if I'm wrong as I said, I haven't used 14 for ages..

I know this doesn't help your dilema but it might shed some light on your or someone elses problem..
